Rheumatoid Arthritis – Diagnosis & Treatment

Complementary Therapies

Many patients with rheumatoid arthritis can benefit from complementary therapies, such as osteopathy, massage, chiropractic, or acupuncture. You can experience several immediate effects on the symptoms. However, there is no or little evidence that those options are effective in the long run. Make sure to discuss all of the possible options before making a decision. Your doctor might suggest these treatments along with medications and other therapies to get the best effects and speed up your healing process. [11]
