Arthritis Rheumatoid > See the Complete List
Arthritis Rheumatoid is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting many joints, specifically those in the feet and hands. In this condition, the body’s immune system attacks its own tissue and joints. Symptoms include painful swelling, bone erosion, and joint deformity. There are many triggers to Arthritis Rheumatoid, specifically chronic illness, such as past Strep infection and untreated Lyme disease, food allergies (specifically gluten) and genetic predisposition are common. It is important to note, that often we see patients who are misdiagnosed with RA, when in fact they have a chronic tick-borne illness, such as Lyme.
At the Stram Center, we will examine and determine the true root cause of one’s symptoms and treat the problem. Dietary intervention, anti-inflammatory herbal supplements, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, treatment of the infectious etiology, if present, are tantamount to successful outcomes.
