Condition Overview
Condition Definition
Rheumatism, most commonly Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the lining of the joints, causing inflammation, pain, swelling, and stiffness. It typically affects joints symmetrically, especially the hands and feet, and may interfere with daily activities. Our integrative approach supports pain management and overall comfort through cupping therapy and an anti-inflammatory nutrition plan alongside primary medical treatment.
