Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is more than joint pain—it’s an autoimmune condition that causes chronic inflammation, fatigue, and systemic damage if left untreated. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond symptom suppression. Our integrative model blends Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) with functional, nutritional, and holistic care to help manage RA symptoms naturally and improve joint health from the inside out.
We treat the root causes—not just the inflammation.
RA is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium—the lining of the joints. Over time, this leads to joint damage, pain, swelling, stiffness, and even loss of function. RA can also affect the lungs, eyes, skin, and heart.
It differs from osteoarthritis in that RA is systemic and immune-driven, not just wear and tear.
RA symptoms can fluctuate and include:
Early diagnosis is crucial to avoid permanent joint damage.
In functional medicine, we look for immune triggers and lifestyle factors that drive RA.
