AUTOIMMUNE DISORDER RELIEF IN CHAMPLIN
What are the stages of autoimmune disorders?
Stage One : Positive antibody tests to a body tissue with no symptoms in that tissue.
For example, if we determine a patient has a positive antibody test to connective tissue and
does not have joint pain they are in stage one. We would make them aware of the symptoms they need to watch out for. These include joint pain and inflammation which are indications that they have moved into stage two.
STAGE Two: Positive antibody tests to a body tissue with symptoms being experienced in that tissue.
Each major tissue tested for immunity has symptoms associated with it when it advances to stage two. For example thyroid has fatigue and weight gain, brain may have balance and depression. We make sure that our patients know the symptoms associated with their autoimmunity to prevent it from worsening.
STAGE Three: Positive tests for antibodies plus symptoms, with evidence of the destruction of that specific body tissue.
Examples of this are patients who have thyroid issues who develop a goiter or patients with rheumatoid arthritis who experience joint destruction.
There are more than 100 autoimmune diseases; here are common ones that respond well to functional medicine.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Lupus
Multiple Sclerosis
Celiac disease
Scleroderma
Addison's disease
Pernicious anemia/atrophic gastritis
Diabetes mellitus, type 1
Hashimoto’s autoimmune thyroiditis

Schedule a 30 minute one-on-one consultation to review your history with Dr. Tim Bertsch and see if you are a candidate for his autoimmune program.
“My path to chiropractic care began early—at just seven years old, I was a patient at this very clinic. For my family, chiropractic has always been our first choice for health care, which profoundly influenced my views on wellness and fostered a deep respect for the body’s natural healing abilities. I am passionate about helping all types of athletes return to their favorite activities, supporting expecting mothers in achieving their ideal labor and delivery, and guiding babies and children through all stages of growth and development. As a chiropractor, I’m committed to empowering others to take control of their health and experience the transformative benefits of chiropractic care.”
