Arthritis
Arthritis encompasses joint inflammation and pain, including osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear) and inflammatory arthritis. Functional medicine addresses the inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic factors contributing to joint damage, aiming to reduce pain, preserve joint function, and slow disease progression.
Common symptoms
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Swelling and inflammation
- Reduced range of motion
- Morning stiffness
- Joint deformity (advanced cases)
- Warmth and redness around joints
- Fatigue (inflammatory arthritis)
- Difficulty with daily activities
