Are you living with R.A?
Rheumatoid Arthritis, often simply referred to as R.A., is a form of arthritis that is classified as an autoimmune disease. In RA the body turns its own defenses back at itself and attacks the joints.
This misguided attack often causes inflammation and pain. If left untreated, degradation of the joints can take place. Joints can become unstable, and the patient may experience a lessening of mobility in the joints as well as deformation of the joints themselves. The damage done by R.A. is not reversible. If you have been diagnosed with RA, the sooner you seek treatment the better the sustainable outcome and quality of life.
Chiropractic is a wonderful way to lessen the effects of RA. Treatment can help to reduce pain, swelling, inflammation, and even progression. Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, non-drug form for the treatment of pain.
How Chiropractic Helps
Decrease in Inflammation – with less inflammation in the joints, motion is normalized, and proper nervous system function can be restored. This decreases pain levels.
Increased Fluidity of Movement – RA’s main symptom is a deterioration in range of motion. When a chiropractor can restore joint restrictions through manipulations it can help free up the normalized range of movement once again allowing for stretching and better circulation.
Restore Nervous System Function – The nervous system controls every organ in the body. When communication has a breakdown anywhere in the line, malfunction leading to disease can occur. In the case of RA, the body literally feels that the joints are foreign invaders and must be dealt with to protect you. It can cause your immune system to work far harder than normal and lead to break down as well.
Diet and Exercise – This condition is better managed through proper diet and nutrition and through movement. The office of Kaster Chiropractic and Associates can help!
