Rheumatoid Arthritis
Conveniently located to serve the areas of New York, NY
Autoimmune disease occurs when your immune system—which generally fights invaders and infections—mistakenly attacks its healthy tissue and organs instead.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes joint inflammation and pain and commonly affects the hands, knees, or ankles, and usually the same joint on both sides of the body. Occasionally, RA can cause symptoms in the heart, lungs, circulatory system, or eyes. Although chronic, RA progresses over time and has periods of remission as well as increased activity, called “flares.”
Treatment
Dr. Kellman’s office is known worldwide for its deeper testing methods, which lead to significantly better outcomes. Our approach to healing the microbiome is extremely effective, in conjunction with other medical therapies, in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis. While other health facilities advise you to add a probiotic, we break it down into the exact formula that will work for you. Everybody is different and every microbiome requires its specific bacteria, and it a specific ratio.
