Common Conditions We Treat
Autoimmune Disease
There are more than 100 autoimmune diseases. Some of the most common are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, Addison’s disease, hashimotos thyroiditis, graves disease, sjogrens syndrome and myasthenia gravis. What all autoimmune diseases have in common is the immune system, which was designed to protect the body, is now attacking the cells of the body. In summary: a compromised, poorly functioning immune system can no longer distinguish self from non-self.
