Autoimmune & inflammatory care
A whole-person approach to rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that requires appropriate medical diagnosis and monitoring. Chinese medicine may be used as complementary care for symptoms and quality of life while the patient continues appropriate rheumatologic care.
My assessment considers pain and swelling patterns, stiffness, mobility, fatigue, sleep, digestion, stress,
temperature tendencies, and the broader Chinese medicine pattern.
Pain & stiffness
Treatment is individualized around location, severity, timing, mobility, and the qualities of the pain.
Inflammatory pattern
Heat, swelling, fatigue, and systemic symptoms are considered within the full presentation.
Function & recovery
The practical goal is to support day-to-day function, comfort, sleep, and resilience alongside appropriate medical care.

TREATMENT TOOLS
Chinese medicine can be layered according to the individual.
Depending on the case, care may include Classical Nei Jing style acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Siddha Varma Therapy, lifestyle guidance, and selected functional testing. Treatment is adjusted over time according to response and changes in the clinical picture.
COLLABORATIVE CARE
Complementary does not mean replacing rheumatology.
Disease-modifying treatment decisions, medication changes, and monitoring of joint damage belong with the prescribing rheumatology team. I do not recommend stopping prescribed medication without discussing it with the clinician managing it.
Start with a conversation.
