Treating Arthritis with Functional Medicine

Conventional treatments for arthritis rely on medications to decrease inflammation and improve symptoms. Functional Medicine, in comparison, looks at the underlying cause of inflammation and aims to reverse the process at the source. Functional medicine doctors will look at gut health, toxicity, hormonal imbalances, and other possible conditions that may be contributing factors.
