Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Unlike osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear on the joints, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissue. This leads to inflammation, pain, swelling, stiffness, and over time, joint damage that can significantly affect quality of life. While RA is a lifelong condition, modern treatment approaches can dramatically reduce symptoms, slow disease progression, and help patients regain function and independence.
At Anchor Restorative Medicine, patients with rheumatoid arthritis receive individualized, integrative care designed to address not only joint pain but the underlying inflammatory and immune-related factors contributing to the disease.
