RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS in Cyprus & AUTO IMMUNE DISORDERS | CYPRUS CLINIC | OSTEOPATHY | ACUPUNCTURE | LIMASSOL | PAPHOS

A 35 year old patient presented to the clinic with a history of chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis, with periodic phases of exascerbations of sweliing, pain and tenderness of the joints. The wrists, knees and spine were all involved during the flare up of symptoms.

On examination, X-rays indicated mild degenerative changes to the joint margins of the distal radius and ulna. The knees also showed irregularities at the condylar region of the femur and joint effusion.

On osteopathic examination, the joints were hyper mobile and the paraspinal muscles indicated an increased tonus and were fibrotic.

Treatment consisted of Osteopathic mobilisation of the spine to aid in regulating the autonomic nervous system, and articulation of the joints to ease the pain and inflammation of the tendinitis (tenosynovitis) of the wrists. Acupuncture was applied to regulate the neuro-endocrine system, and specifically for pain relief, to aid circulation, ease muscular tonus and reduce fluid retention. Osteopathic manipulation of the cervico-thoracic region of the spine help reduce pain in the arms and hands.
