How To Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis

How To Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis :Rheumatoid arthritis is quite different from osteoarthritis. It is as a result of an intense inflammation in the synovial joints and it can arise at any time from the teenage years onward.

Rheumatoid arthritis is one of a group of conditions we call “autoimmune connective tissue diseases.” The other conditions in this group are much rarer. In all of these conditions, the body’s immune system is overactive and appears to attack the body’s own tissues

Symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis

• The hands and feet are the most common joints involved, as well as the wrists, ankles, knees, shoulders, and neck.
• When the inflammation is active, fever, loss of appetite, and weight loss are common. Many people feel tired and lacking in energy because they are also anaemic.
• Severe stiffness early in the morning which tends to ease as the day progresses but may last for many hours

Effective Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis

The physiotherapist plays a vital role in relieving symptoms and preserving muscle strength and movement of affected joints. This is one of the major challenge we solve at Efdfective Physiotherapy clinic. We recommends splints for affected joints from time-to-time to protect them and maintain their correct position, and will also advise on the right sort of exercise for you to perform at home.

He or she can also advise on aids and appliances. Rheumatoid arthritis causes joints to become inflamed – it is very different from osteoarthritis.
