Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the joints, where it causes inflammation (arthritis) and damage. RA can also harm some organs, like the lungs and skin. It can be a debilitating and painful condition, which can lead to a significant loss of functioning and mobility.

Many treatments options are available to RA patients. Two natural forms of treatment include physical therapy and occupational therapy. Pharmaceutical treatment such as painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as steroids, can used to suppress RA's symptoms. Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are often required to reverse the disease's actions and prevent long-term damage.
