Rheumatoid Arthritis

What is Rheumatoid Arthritis?

An autoimmune disorder, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body’s tissues. Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, causing a painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity. The inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis is what can damage other parts of the body as well. While new types of medications have improved treatment options dramatically, severe rheumatoid arthritis can still cause physical disabilities.

The team of experts at Cords of Revitalization has sourced stem cells that contain the properties needed to help our patients achieve relief from rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and damage. We understand how painful and debilitating this condition can be, and are proud of the results we have helped our patients achieve. RA can negatively impact your quality of life and prevent you from performing routine tasks, but our IV therapy offers hope!

Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis may include:

Tenderness
Swollen joints
Joint stiffness, especially after inactivity
Fatigue and/or fever

Early development of rheumatoid arthritis often affects the smaller joints in the body first, specifically the fingers and toes. As the condition begins to progress, it will spread and affect the larger joints like the knees, hips, and shoulders among others. Rheumatoid arthritis is also known to affect other non-joint structures as well, including:

Skin
Eyes
Lungs
Heart
Kidneys
Nerve tissue
Bone marrow
Blood vessels

Rheumatoid arthritis signs and symptoms will go through stages where it may get worse and also enter stages of temporary relief or remission. Over time, rheumatoid arthritis can lead to the deformation of joints, shifting them out of place.

Managing Rheumatoid Arthritis With Stem Cell IV Therapy

Stem cell IV therapy offers a range of potential benefits to patients suffering from varying degrees of RA, they are as follows:

Immunomodulation

As Rheumatoid Arthritis is the result of a dysfunctional immune system, the immunomodulatory properties that are present within stem cells can help suppress an overactive or improperly functioning immune cells. This 2019 study highlighted by the National Institute of Health, outlines all of the immune cells that can be influenced and modulated by the presence of the appropriate stem cells.

Cellular Proliferation & Regeneration

Stem cell IV therapy introduces cells into the body that can be programmed to perform specific functions. Embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell and tissue types, making them highly useful for repairing and regenerating damaged tissues caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis. This can help restore range of motion, relieve pain, and minimize nerve dysfunction.

Anti-inflammatory properties

The stem cells used by Cords of Revitalization contain powerful anti-inflammatory properties that do exactly as the name suggests. These elements, once introduced into the body, seek out pro-inflammatory cells and help provide a balance that reduces swelling and general inflammation. Study of these effects has been presented in increasing numbers over the last 10 years.
