Muscle and Joint Diseases Newtown, CT

Symptoms and Natural Treatments

A woman meditating on the beach, relaxing the body to remove any toxins that may be causing muscle and joint diseases.Achy joints? Muscle pain? Osteoporosis? All of these symptoms and diseases fall in the musculoskeletal system.  When it comes to your muscles and joints it’s important to remember why they are hurting.

 Symptoms are just your bodies way of communicating that something is wrong.  Most of the time people have achy joints and muscles due to everyday factors.  Diet and lifestyle play huge roles in how you feel.  If you think of your pain in regards to inflammation you would want to reduce inflammation to reduce pain. There are only so many stones you can place in a bucket of water before that bucket overfills. This is where my bar stool approach comes in handy.  Give the body what it needs, take out the trash, and increase vitality. If one follows all of these three rules during treatment you will start to feel better.  I use a combination of diet, supplements, hydrotherapy, naturopathic manipulation techniques to help you overcome your muscle and joint diseases.

Common Muscle and Joint Diseases

  • Gout

Gout is a form of arthritis that typically affects the big toe joints. Dr. Brody utilizes a personalized diet and supplements to remove toxins as needed to address the underlying cause.

  • Lyme Disease

Lyme disease and other tick-borne bacteria have become bigger and bigger risks over the years. With symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and the bulls-eye rash, Lyme disease can be a debilitating illness. Dr. Brody’s approach is to strengthen the body, create an environment that flushes out the bacteria and can help prevent it in the future.

  • Muscle Pain & Weakness

Muscle pain and weakness occurs when the muscles don’t get the proper nutrients they need. If the muscles are able to heal and build, dispose of their waste and be utilized properly, the pain and weakness will begin to disappear.

  • Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis occurs when inflammation happens at the cartilage at the end of bones. This inflammation normally occurs in the hips, knees, the fingertips or the base of the thumb, but this can occur in any joint. Because the cushion between joints is being destroyed, this leads to bones wearing and potentially splintering, resulting in pain, stiffness and swelling. Early detection is key for osteoarthritis, keeping the inflammation from destroying as much as possible.

  • Osteoporosis/Osteopenia

Osteoporosis and Osteopenia are the same disease, but at different stages. Osteopenia is when bone mineral density begins to decrease, after reaching a certain level it becomes osteoporosis. While bones cells reabsorb old cells and replace them with new bone cells every day, it’s when the cells absorb more than they replace that the disease takes place. This can be avoiding by making sure you are taking in the proper nutrients, and taking supplements if needed to help make more bone.

  • Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis occurs when the body attacks its own joints. This is a connective tissue disease with symptoms of painful joints, bumps under the skin, pain, bone deformities, swelling, and warm joints. The direct cause can be hard to find, but Dr. Brody works to calm down the immune system and control inflammation to ease the disease.
