Arthritis

What is arthritis?
If you have pain and stiffness or have trouble moving, you might be suffering from arthritis, a chronic, degenerative, joint disease caused by inflammation in the lining of the joints. It might appear because of an injury not treated effectively or for overuse of joints. However, there are many factors involved in the development of the disease, some still unidentified.
The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

What are the symptoms?
The most common types of arthritis cause joint pain and inflammation. Joints are located where two bones meet, allowing our bodies to move the knees, ankles, etc.

The common symptoms of arthritis are:

• Limited motion
• Joint pain and swelling.
• Trembling of limbs.
• Gradual loss of strength
• Gradual deformation of the affected part (hands, feet, etc.), preventing the person from moving.

What is the treatment?
Integrative Medicine is about combining conventional medicine with alternative or complementary medicines that have been scientifically validated. From this perspective, integrative medicine combines the most effective of conventional medicine with a holistic approach and an individualized treatment. Natural supplements will promote the cartilage regeneration and will relieve the patient’s pain.
