Pain Relief Options for Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Chronic Back Pain

Leave a comment


Dr. Kaliq Chang

Because the neck, or cervical spine, includes several synovial joints, RA-associated chronic pain more often results in this part of the spine.


WEST ORANGE, N.J. (PRWEB)

Chronic back pain may not spring to mind as one of the more common problems linked to the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis, or RA. But this is indeed the case, and relief for RA-associated back pain is both necessary and available, according to Interventional Pain Management Specialist Kaliq Chang, MD, of Atlantic Spine Center.

Affecting more than 1.3 million Americans and as much as 1% of the population worldwide, RA is among the most prevalent autoimmune disorders, according to the Rheumatoid Arthritis Support Network. RA patients experience symptoms when the body’s antibodies mistakenly attack normal synovial joint fluid, triggering chronic inflammation.

Because the neck, or cervical spine, includes several synovial joints, RA-associated chronic pain more often results in this part of the spine. And while RA can cause swelling and pain in joints throughout the body, the resulting inflammation can destroy facet joints – which support movement and flexibility – down the length of the spine. This can lead to severe pain in the neck and back.

Symptoms of RA-associated back pain

The longer a patient has coped with RA, the more likely they’ll experience symptoms in their spine. Estimates vary, but some suggest that more than 80% of those with RA have dealt with spinal problems.

What symptoms might they experience? According to Dr. Chang, these include:


  • Joint swelling

  • Headaches

  • Pain, particularly at the base of the skull

  • Less flexibility in the joints of the spine

  • Stiffness in the neck and/or back

  • Sensation of warmth around affected joints

“In advanced cases of RA, this destruction can even lead to the spinal cord and nerve roots becoming compressed, resulting in moderate or severe back pain,” explains Dr. Chang.

Sciatica can also result if spinal vertebrae slip out of place, placing pressure on the nerve roots in the spine. If that happens, patients may have pain that radiates to the arms and/or legs, experience difficulty walking, lose coordination, or lose bowel or bladder function, Dr. Chang says.

“These extreme symptoms and their consequences underscore the need for anyone with RA to seek treatment for neck or back pain to prevent further damage,” he says.

Pain relief tactics

On top of being necessary to avoid further complications, treating RA-associated chronic back pain is a good idea simply because it’s difficult to live with lasting discomfort, Dr. Chang says. Fortunately, however, a variety of home measures and in-office treatments are available. These include:

  • Hot and cold packs: Pain and stiffness take a hike – at least temporarily – when hot and cold packs are applied. Either is easy to do at home, with heat packs helping improve blood flow and lessen muscle spasms, Dr. Chang says. Cold packs, which can be applied for 20 minutes at a time 3 to 4 times per day, can help reduce inflammation from RA and are best for flare-ups.

  • Medications: Pain severity dictates the best type of pain medications for RA-associated chronic back pain. Painkillers such as aspirin or NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen can do the trick for many patients, while prescription-strength pain relievers can be offered at your doctor’s discretion.

  • DMARDs: So-called disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, or DMARDs, are prescribed to ease pain and can slow the progression of RA, averting pain flare-ups. These drugs work by blocking chemicals released by the body when antibodies attack joints. While they come with various side effects, your doctor can help you manage these since the drugs may lessen damage to bones and cartilage.

  • Spinal injections: Injecting an anesthetic or corticosteroid into the region surrounding RA-associated back pain can lead to significant relief for many patients, Dr. Chang says. And the pain relief can last for weeks or months.

  • Back surgery: Surgery is almost always the last resort to treat chronic back pain, when more conservative measures don’t work. But various surgical procedures can help RA-associated back pain, including spinal fusion, which removes a diseased joint and bonds the surrounding vertebrae. Also possible is surgery to stabilize and realign the spine, reducing pressure on surrounding nerves, Dr. Chang says.

ARTA Helps E-commerce Deliver Superior Shipping Experiences this Season and Beyond

Leave a comment


News Image

ARTA for e-commerce provides instant shipping and service costs from providers at a range of price points, giving sellers ultimate flexibility to provide a better shopping experience for their customers.


NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Today, ARTA, provider of innovative technology and fulfillment solutions for global white glove logistics, is launching ARTA for e-commerce, a single API that streamlines the logistical complications that come with selling high-value, oversized, and/or fragile goods online. Specialty items are the fastest growing e-commerce segment, but most sellers aren’t equipped to fulfill these types of goods. With ARTA for e-commerce, businesses get access to ARTA’s more than 450 logistics providers, allowing for growth via expanded audiences in new geographies and the ability to fulfill any type of specialty items. Moreover, ARTA provides instant shipping and service costs at point of sale, saving internal time and resources and providing a better customer experience.

“Parcel freight companies like FedEx and UPS have made it extremely easy for anyone to sell and fulfill everyday items online. But to ship items requiring white glove services, there wasn’t a similar all-encompassing solution—until now,” said Adam Fields, CEO of ARTA. “ARTA for e-commerce provides instant shipping and service costs from providers at a range of price points, giving sellers ultimate flexibility to provide a better shopping experience for their customers. We’re excited to enable online sellers to meet consumer expectations when selling specialty items, while at the same time bringing operational efficiencies and fueling growth.”

Online sales are predicted to increase by as much as 18 percent this holiday season, and shipping continues to be a critical component of delivering a cohesive and enjoyable shopping experience. Moreover, items requiring white glove logistics and services are the fastest growing e-commerce segment, growing 20 percent year-over-year. ARTA is offering its expertise to help merchants think through their game plan for shipping these items this holiday season and throughout the year:

Plan Ahead: Shipping items requiring specialized handling have longer delivery lead times in general; aside from renting an exclusive truck (at an exclusive price point), there usually isn’t an option for next day delivery. Turnaround time from pickup to delivery could take a week or more. With ARTA, business can provide specific and accurate delivery windows to help their customers order in time for the holidays – during which lead times can be longer.

Plan for Pricing: An increase in shipments around the world during the holidays means that air freight capacity often gets booked up earlier than at other times of the year, and lower supply could mean your items take much longer to ship. In addition, lower supply also leads to higher pricing; air freight rates often peak around the holidays. ARTA for e-commerce can provide quotes at different price points and delivery speeds, so customers can weigh the options and choose the one that works best.

Plan for Partner Support: Specialized items and precious goods often require special packing or crating. Packing/crating, debris disposal, and installation are just a few additional services that can increase overall shipping costs. As many of these services are often carried out by different providers, it can be a lot to manage from an operational and billing perspective. ARTA’s e-commerce API provides all shipping and service costs upfront, billable in a single transaction.

ARTA also offers ARTA for Auctions, which automates shipping for auction houses and auction aggregators and gives more control and visibility over a fragmented supply chain. ARTA has managed shipments to/from nearly 60 countries, and is trusted by thousands of clients all over the world.

About ARTA

ARTA delivers innovative technology and fulfillment solutions for global white glove logistics. ARTA provides a proprietary API and platform that streamlines the shipping of high-value, oversized, and fragile goods requiring extra services from point of sale to delivery. With a single solution, ARTA safely, easily and cost effectively ships high-touch items to more customers in more locations to drive sales, enable opportunities for new categories and expand the global footprint for businesses today.

Why Should Drivers Take Pictures Immediately After An Accident?

Leave a comment


News Image

“Drivers should carefully document the accident scene. Taking photos will support your claims and get the right amount of reimbursement”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains why it is important to take pictures immediately after an accident.

For more info and free car insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-its-recommended-to-take-pictures-after-a-car-accident/

Everyone’s safety is of the utmost importance. Check if everyone is alright and call the ambulance if needed. After making sure that everyone is safe, it is time to document the accident. Taking photos will allow the drivers to gather relevant data about the circumstances of the accident

Taking photos will help drivers:


  • Deal with insurance companies. Being involved in an accident where the other driver is involved, gives you the right to ask for compensation. It is possible that the company of the guilty driver will try to partially blame the victim or refuse to make compensatory payments. In this case, clear photos of the accident can become undeniable evidence that will resolve any dispute. If the company still refuses to pay, talk with a lawyer and provide the photos.

  • Gather crucial info about the circumstances of the accidents. Taking photos of the accident scene, the surrounding area and road conditions will help the authorities determine who and what caused the accident. Specialized criminalists can analyze all details and assemble the bigger picture.

  • Document the injuries. Again, this must be done in order to receive fair compensation. Take photos of injuries, bruises, cuts, burns, lacerations. Make sure to keep all medical receipts.
