Rheumatoid Arthritis and Chiropractic Care: What Is the Connection?<\/h1>\n

The rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong> It is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that primarily affects the joints and can cause inflammation, stiffness, and limitations in daily activities.<\/p>\n

In the Dr. Marc Bony Chiropractic Center in Matar\u00f3<\/strong> We also serve people who live with rheumatoid arthritis and want to take care of their spine, mobility, and overall well-being.<\/p>\n

Important:<\/strong> Chiropractic does not diagnose, treat, or cure rheumatoid arthritis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rheumatoid arthritis requires medical follow-up. Chiropractic care, when appropriate for a person\u2019s individual situation, has a different objective and should be considered separately from the treatment of the disease.<\/p>\n

\n

What is rheumatoid arthritis?<\/h2>\n

Rheumatoid arthritis is a autoimmune disease<\/strong> in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, particularly affecting the lining of the joints.<\/p>\n

It can produce:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Joint inflammation.<\/li>\n
  • Stiffness.<\/li>\n
  • Sensitivity.<\/li>\n
  • Restricted movement.<\/li>\n
  • Tiredness or fatigue.<\/li>\n
  • Energy loss.<\/li>\n
  • Periods of increased and decreased disease activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It often affects the small joints of the hands and feet and can appear symmetrically on both sides of the body.<\/p>\n

    Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are not the same thing<\/h3>\n

    It is important not to confuse the rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong> with the osteoarthritis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Although both can affect the joints, they have different mechanisms, courses, and treatments.<\/p>\n

    \n

    How is rheumatoid arthritis treated?<\/h2>\n

    The diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis are the responsibility of qualified healthcare professionals, particularly specialists in rheumatology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Treatment may include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Disease-modifying medications.<\/li>\n
    • Biological treatments.<\/li>\n
    • Other medications, depending on the individual case.<\/li>\n
    • Adapted exercise.<\/li>\n
    • Support measures and health monitoring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Appropriate treatment started early can help control disease activity and reduce the risk of joint damage.<\/p>\n

      Chiropractic care is not a substitute for these treatments and should not be used to delay or interrupt them.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

      \n

      Rheumatoid Arthritis and the Spine<\/h2>\n

      Although many people associate rheumatoid arthritis primarily with the joints in the hands, wrists, or feet, this disease can also affect other joints.<\/p>\n

      In some people, there may be involvement of the cervical spine<\/strong>, especially in certain cases of long-term illness.<\/p>\n

      For this reason, it is especially important to be familiar with the diagnosis and medical history of a person with rheumatoid arthritis before performing any procedure on the spine.<\/p>\n

      Not all techniques are suitable for everyone<\/h3>\n

      When there is or is suspected:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Active inflammation.<\/li>\n
      • Joint instability.<\/li>\n
      • Cervical involvement.<\/li>\n
      • Osteoporosis.<\/li>\n
      • Structural changes.<\/li>\n
      • Or any other risk factor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        It may be necessary avoid certain techniques<\/strong> or request a medical evaluation in advance.<\/p>\n

        \n

        What is the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and chiropractic care?<\/h2>\n

        A person with rheumatoid arthritis may see a chiropractor for reasons related to:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Spine.<\/li>\n
        • Movement.<\/li>\n
        • Mobility.<\/li>\n
        • Posture.<\/li>\n
        • Musculoskeletal function.<\/li>\n
        • General well-being.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          But this It does not mean that a chiropractic adjustment treats rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          At our center, we make a clear distinction between the two.<\/p>\n

          Our chiropractic approach focuses on evaluating each person's spine and function on an individual basis.<\/p>\n

          \n

          What do we do before recommending chiropractic care?<\/h2>\n

          Before beginning any treatment, we perform a individual assessment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          This may include:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Interview regarding medical history.<\/li>\n
          • History of Illnesses and Injuries.<\/li>\n
          • Spinal Evaluation.<\/li>\n
          • Postural analysis.<\/li>\n
          • Assessment of movement.<\/li>\n
          • Tests in the field of chiropractic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            If you have rheumatoid arthritis, it is especially important that you tell us about:<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Your diagnosis.<\/li>\n
            • The affected joints.<\/li>\n
            • The medication you take.<\/li>\n
            • Possible neck problems.<\/li>\n
            • Osteoporosis or osteopenia.<\/li>\n
            • Previous transactions.<\/li>\n
            • Recommendations from your rheumatologist or other healthcare professionals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              When we determine that an additional medical evaluation is necessary, we recommend that it be conducted before proceeding.<\/p>\n

              \n

              What is a chiropractic adjustment?<\/h2>\n

              The chiropractic adjustment<\/strong> It is one of the techniques used in chiropractic care.<\/p>\n

              Depending on:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Age.<\/li>\n
              • Medical history.<\/li>\n
              • Mobility.<\/li>\n
              • Physical characteristics.<\/li>\n
              • The person's specific situation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Different procedures and varying degrees of force may be used.<\/p>\n

                Not all adjustments produce a clicking sound, and Sound is not the purpose of the procedure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                In people with inflammatory conditions, structural abnormalities, or joint instability, certain techniques may not be appropriate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

                For this reason, We do not automatically apply the same procedure to everyone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                \n

                Do subluxations cause rheumatoid arthritis?<\/h2>\n

                We should not present rheumatoid arthritis as a result of a misaligned vertebra or alleged nerve interference.<\/p>\n

                Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex autoimmune disease<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                From a chiropractic perspective, we can assess the function and mobility of the spine, but this does not mean that a spinal misalignment is the cause of rheumatoid arthritis or that correcting it can cure the disease.<\/p>\n

                Our goal is to clearly explain the difference between the chiropractic approach and the established causes and treatments for a disease.<\/p>\n

                \n

                Chiropractic and the Nervous System<\/h2>\n

                The spine protects the spinal cord and is part of the musculoskeletal system, which enables the body to support itself, move, and perform various actions.<\/p>\n

                The nervous system enables communication between the brain and different parts of the body.<\/p>\n

                This anatomical relationship is one of the reasons why the spine is of particular importance in chiropractic.<\/p>\n

                However:<\/p>\n

                A spinal adjustment should not be presented as a way to reduce inflammation caused by rheumatoid arthritis, restore the immune system, or alter the course of the disease.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

                \n

                Care Tailored to Each Individual<\/h2>\n

                Every person living with rheumatoid arthritis has different circumstances.<\/p>\n

                Disease activity, the joints affected, medication, age, bone density, and other health conditions can influence what type of care is appropriate.<\/p>\n

                For this reason, our approach does not consist of applying a standard protocol.<\/p>\n

                We evaluate each case individually.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                When we determine that a technique is not appropriate or that a prior medical evaluation is necessary, we inform the person.<\/p>\n

                \n

                Chiropractic as a Profession<\/h2>\n

                The legal status of chiropractic varies by country.<\/p>\n

                In various countries, it is regulated within their respective healthcare systems, and there are specific university programs for chiropractic training.<\/p>\n

                In Spain<\/strong>, however, chiropractic is not currently listed among the licensed and regulated health professions covered by Law 44\/2003 on the Regulation of Health Professions.<\/p>\n

                Dr. Marc Bony, Doctor of Chiropractic<\/h3>\n

                The Dr. Marc Bony holds a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree<\/strong>, obtained through specialized university training in chiropractic in the United States.<\/p>\n

                \n

                Rheumatoid Arthritis and Chiropractic Care in Matar\u00f3<\/h2>\n

                In the Dr. Marc Bony Chiropractic Center in Matar\u00f3<\/strong>, our goal is to evaluate each person individually and determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for their circumstances.<\/p>\n

                If you have rheumatoid arthritis, it's important to let us know during your evaluation so we can take the following into account:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Your diagnosis.<\/li>\n
                • Your medical history.<\/li>\n
                • Your medication.<\/li>\n
                • Current disease activity.<\/li>\n
                • Any instructions provided by your healthcare professionals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Chiropractic care should be clearly distinguished from the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and It is never a substitute for follow-up care with your doctor or rheumatologist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                  \n

                  Would you like to learn about our approach to chiropractic care?<\/h2>\n
