Unlocking Mobility: A Functional Approach to Arthritis in Hands

Wiki Article

Simple tasks like buttoning a shirt or opening a jar can become monumental challenges when your hands are stiff and painful. This loss of fine motor control is frustrating and can feel isolating. While many resign themselves to the diagnosis of arthritis in hands, functional wellness offers a perspective of hope and reversal. Your joints are living tissues that can repair if given the right conditions.

The Joint and Nerve Wellness Online Center specializes in creating those right conditions. We don't just treat the hands; we treat the human. Founded by Margaret Gathunguri, our practice uses science-informed nutritional guidance to lower the systemic inflammation that manifests as joint pain.

The Limitations of Standard Care

Standard medical care often waits for the disease to progress before offering heavy-duty drugs or surgery. In the interim, patients are often told to take tylenol arthritis and learn to live with it. We believe you can do better. We believe in proactive intervention that targets the root causes of inflammation before joint destruction occurs.

Investigating the Root Cause

We use functional blood chemistry analysis to play detective. We look at markers of inflammation, oxidative stress, and nutrient absorption. Often, we find that a client is deficient in key minerals needed for bone and cartilage health, or they are reacting to a specific food group that they eat daily.

The Gut-Hand Connection

It may seem strange to link your stomach to your fingers, but the connection is strong. The gut microbiome dictates much of your immune response. If your gut bacteria are imbalanced, your immune system remains on high alert, attacking tissues including your joints. Restoring gut health is often the first step in our pain relief protocols.

Breaking the Weight-Pain Cycle

It is difficult to be active when you are in pain, leading to weight gain. This extra weight fuels more inflammation. We address weight-loss resistance not by cutting calories to starvation levels, but by nourishing the body to safety. When the body feels nourished, it releases the weight and the inflammation subsides.

Conclusion

You do not have to accept the gradual loss of function in your hands as an inevitable part of aging. By addressing the internal environment of your body, you can reduce swelling and restore mobility.

Functional nutrition provides the tools you need to take charge of your health. Through personalized testing and targeted nutritional strategies, you can calm the inflammation and get back to doing the things you love with your own two hands.
