How we treat

Since the cause of chronic rheumatic illnesses remains unknown, treatment of the underlying cause is not possible. Children with a chronic rheumatic illness nevertheless respond well to a special multidisciplinary programme of treatment in most cases. This treatment requires a team of experienced doctors and therapists. The overall concept is primarily based on the three pillars of medical treatment, physiotherapy and psychosocial care. The long-term prognosis, however, is based on the assumption that additional measures will be included in the therapy from the outset. These measures include educating patients and parents and providing social care for the whole family.

 

Frequently, the treatment procedures involve complex facts that can be difficult to understand. You should therefore always feel able to ask any questions you may have.
