Rheumatoid arthritis, which does not have a known cause, is a long-term inflammatory autoimmune disease and is spread throughout the body. Most people think that rheumatoid arthritis is solely a joint condition – this is incorrect, says Dr. Dennis Schone. With rheumatoid arthritis, connective tissue is affected all over the body (muscles, tendons, nerves and connective tissue in organs).
Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by joint stiffness and soreness in the hands and feet, and usually occurs in females about 40 years of age. Patients also feel fatigue and just a general unwell feeling with OH rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis starts slowly and gradually.
To maintain an active, productive life, patients seeking treatment for rheumatoid arthritis do so for discomfort and pain control, and to prevent deformities that can occur in joints.
To determine the severity of your rheumatoid arthritis, the chiropractor in Pickerington will need your health history. A diagnostic examination with radiography testing and lab work will be required. Your chiropractor will then develop a specific plan of management tailored to your case.
