                      Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is defined a chronic disorder as a result of inflammation, affecting mostly the flexible (synovial) joints and tissues and organs in the body. The disease affects more women than men and generally occurs after the ages of 40, causing diminished quality of life of many elders(1). According to CDC, Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affects over 52 millions of adults in the US alone, including 294,000 children under age 18 with some form of arthritis or rheumatic conditions(2). Rheumatoid Arthritis can induced bone loss through elevating bone resorption without increasing bone formation(4). A cross-sectional population-based study of 1042 patients with rheumatoid arthritis showed that RA patients had an increased risk of death from various causes(4a).

4. Spa therapy
Spa therapy may be one the effective technique for treatment of lower back pain, according to some studies(392.321).
In patient with rheumatoid arthritis, spa therapy showed to relief symptoms of pain, stiffness and mobility(395,325) and is considered as one of the best RA rehabilitation in many double-blinded trials through its defectiveness in attenuated pain relief, analgesic drug consumption and pro inflammatory cytokines, improved quality of life, etc.(326)(327).
Unfortunately, according to Dr. Verhagen AP and the research team at the Erasmus Medical Center, in the review of two new studies and a total of nine studies involving 579 participants,.there is overall evidence to support  that  spa therapy is more effective than no treatment, that one type of bath is more effective than another(328).
