February 15, 2011 – Dr. Rebecca Risk would like to announce that she is now offering specialized treatment for Lyme disease in her Calgary clinic. Dr. Risk is a chronic disease and Lyme specialist in Calgary and a trained doctor of Chinese medicine.

In recent years Lyme disease has become more known as a very difficult to diagnose and treat illness. Lyme disease is an inflammatory disease spread through a tick bite. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi). Certain ticks carry these bacteria. The ticks pick up the bacteria when they bite mice or deer that are infected with Lyme disease. You can get the disease if you are bitten by an infected tick. Please refer to a Lyme specialist for any further information regarding this illness.

Lyme disease affects different areas of the body in varying degrees as it progresses. The site where the tick bites the body is where the bacteria enter through the skin. As the bacteria spread in the skin away from the initial tick bite, the infection causes an expanding reddish rash that is often associated with "flu-like" symptoms. Later, it can produce abnormalities in the joints, heart, and nervous system. Up to 75 different symptoms can present themselves in an infected patient. Often the diagnosis is very difficult because these symptoms mimic other diseases, such as: Juvenile Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Reactive Arthritis, Infectious Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Fibromyalgia, Raynaud’s Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Interstitial Cystis, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, Fifth Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, scleroderma, lupus, early ALS, early Alzheimers Disease, crohn’s disease, ménières syndrome, Reynaud’s syndrome, Sjogren’s syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, prostatitis, psychiatric disorders (bipolar, depression, etc.), encephalitis, sleep disorders, thyroid disease and various other illnesses.
