Functional Medicine is an essential tool for identifying and addressing the nutrition, lifestyle, metabolic, and environmental factors that may contribute to your health concerns.
Board Certified in Functional Medicine & Rheumatology Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which the lining of your joints becomes inflamed, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It is an autoimmune disease because it occurs when your immune system, which normally fights against infection, starts destroying healthy joints. Severe rheumatoid arthritis can be very painful and even cause a deformity in a joint. It also affects your ability to perform routine activities.
Each person is unique and so is their journey to health and wellness.
