Functional Rheumatology: Why Early Intervention Matters

Living with joint pain, stiffness, or fatigue can make daily tasks feel impossible. Functional rheumatology applies the principles of functional medicine—addressing root causes and supporting overall wellness—to rheumatologic care. For many people, these symptoms go ignored or untreated until they become too serious to manage. However, early intervention may offer more effective options for managing symptoms and preventing progression. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prevent further damage
