Find Long-Term Relief with a Personalized, Root-Cause Approach
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack the joints, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and progressive joint damage. Unlike osteoarthritis, RA is not caused by wear and tear—it’s an internal inflammatory process. At Azena Health and Longevity, we offer a functional medicine approach to rheumatoid arthritis treatment that focuses on calming the immune response, reducing inflammation, and supporting whole-body health.
Common Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis
RA symptoms often affect both sides of the body and may come and go in waves or flare-ups. Common signs include:
- Joint pain, swelling, and stiffness (especially in the morning)
- Warmth or tenderness around affected joints
- Fatigue and low energy
- Loss of range of motion
- Weight loss or muscle wasting over time
- Joint deformities in advanced stages
- Low-grade fever or general malaise during flares
What Contributes to Rheumatoid Arthritis?
RA is the result of immune system dysfunction, but several other factors may contribute to flare-ups and long-term joint damage:
- Leaky gut and microbiome imbalances
- Genetic predisposition combined with immune triggers
- Chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels
- Food sensitivities and pro-inflammatory diets
- Environmental toxin exposure (heavy metals, chemicals)
- Hormonal imbalances and nutrient deficiencies
Our Functional Medicine Approach to Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rather than relying solely on pharmaceuticals to suppress the immune system, we focus on helping your body rebalance its inflammatory response. Our care plans are tailored to the root causes behind your symptoms and designed to protect long-term joint function.
