rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (colloquially often just called "rheumatism") is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints. In this disease, the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovial membrane, leading to inflammation, swelling and pain in the affected joints. Over time, this inflammation can lead to damage to the joint tissue and impairment of joint function, which is often accompanied by progressive restriction of mobility and deformation of the joints.
How Calopad helps with rheumatoid arthritis
The application of deep heat leads to an expansion of the blood vessels in the body, which results in increased blood flow and thus brings more oxygen and nutrients to the treated areas. This not only improves the removal of waste products, but also helps to relax the surrounding muscles. In addition, deep heat stimulates the skin's thermoreceptors, which can influence the sensation of pain by sending fewer pain signals to the brain.
With rheumatoid arthritis, physiotherapy and occupational therapy can help to maintain joint function and relieve pain. A balanced diet and regular exercise support general health. Heat applications relieve pain and muscle tension, but should not be used on acutely inflamed joints. The Calopad Care Abo combines passive heat treatment with active therapies, such as muscle building, to ensure comprehensive treatment.
