Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes inflammation in the lining of the joints, leaving them swollen and painful, which can lead to bone erosion and deformity. More common in women than in men, rheumatoid arthritis usually affects people in their 40’s, though individuals of all ages can be diagnosed. Usually, if a joint on one side of the body is inflamed, chances are the corresponding joint on the other side of the body is inflamed also. The symmetry of joint pain is a telltale characteristic of RA that distinguishes it from other types of arthritis, such as osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, and lupus. We offer rheumatoid arthritis treatment in Los Angeles at Angel Longevity Medical Center.
Our Difference
There is no cure for this condition, and most traditional rheumatoid arthritis treatments focus on controlling symptoms. This is where Angel Longevity Medical Center is different.
Dr. Mathur’s approach as an integrative functional doctor is one of a medical detective.
She gathers all the clues of the patient’s past through extensive personal and family histories and their present lifestyle, potential toxins in the environment, social life, stress level, relationships, diet, workout regimen, sleep habits, and symptoms. Armed with this information, and all appropriate lab tests, she strives to uncover how and why the body is not functioning well.
