Rheumatoid Arthritis

If you have symptoms that could be stemming from rheumatoid arthritis, then we recommend seeking care as soon as you can. Symptoms of this condition can include joint pain and swelling, stiffness, fatigue or low energy, systematic effects, occasional mild fever, loss of appetite, and warmth around the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect other areas of the body, such as the skin, eyes, lungs, blood vessels, and heart. The stiffness may be felt in the morning or after a long duration of rest that improves with some movement. While the exact cause is not known, because this is an autoimmune disease, it means the immune system has mistakenly attacked its own body tissues. For more information about rheumatoid arthritis and possible treatment options, contact our clinic for care.

If rheumatoid arthritis is not treated, the inflammation can lead to deformities, joint damage, and loss of function over time. While the symptoms experienced can range greatly, they may appear in sudden flares of increased severity. Our patients have expressed that their symptoms can interfere with even the simplest of tasks. By seeking treatment earlier on, symptoms can be better managed and slow progression. Keeping treatment consistent is crucial to reduce long-term joint damage, and maintaining a happier and more comfortable quality of life.
