Foods That Trigger Arthritis

Common Arthritis Symptoms

Pain, swelling, warmth and tenderness in the joints – these are the characteristics of inflammatory arthritis, a group of diseases characterized by joint and tissue inflammation. Morning stiffness that lasts more than an hour is another sign of this set of diseases, and while treatment can be tailored to the specific disease and individual symptoms, patients are unique and each may take different forms of therapy to find relief.

Integrative Medicine for Arthritis Treatment

Acupuncture, massage therapy and aromatherapy are integrative medicine approaches to help combat symptoms. Medication options are available as well.
