Unlike other manipulative therapy, phytotherapy does not view joint diseases as a focal joint disease – ” My ankle has a problem, fix my ankle.” but a systemic disorder with factors such as:
- Blood microcirculation
- Blood quality (e.g. uric acid and autoantibodies)
- The health of the cardiovascular system
- Insulin sensitivity
- Systemic inflammation
- Psycho-social factors
Your blood bathes the joints and the cells. Though helpful in the short term, no manipulation therapy can give a lasting and permanent cure if one does not work on the blood.
Several herbs in phytotherapy (Western herbal medicine) can help promote & support:
- microcirculation
- nerve entrapment
- inflammation
- support liver function (and consequently the quality of the blood)
- support insulin sensitivity
- prevent muscle strength loss (atrophy)
- and even regenerate the joints!
Some are also effective for sports performance and stress resistance (both emotional and physical).
A holistic approach also involves coaching in diet and lifestyle, we take it a step further when we assess clients in detail.
Thus, the chances of recovery are higher.
