Arthritis symptoms in Geldermalsen

What is arthritis?

A common form of rheumatic condition is rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is characterised by chronic inflammation of the joints. Its precise cause is not yet known, but it is clear that the immune system goes into overdrive, probably through a combination of genetic predisposition and risk factors such as smoking, caffeine or excessive alcohol use.

Treating the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in Geldermalsen

When the immune system becomes overactive, it releases substances that can inflame the smaller joints. That inflammation is what makes pain the most prominent sign of rheumatoid arthritis. Affected joints tend to feel warm, look swollen, and the surrounding skin often takes on a reddish tone.

Chiropractic care does not cure rheumatic condition, but it can contribute to better mobility in the affected joints and to easing the symptoms. Our experienced chiropractors always assess carefully what is safe and worthwhile in your particular situation.
