Arthrosis is a condition of joints that have been found for years.Its main symptoms are pain and limitation of movements.Arthrosis is widespread -arthrosis is ill from 10 to 15% of all residents of the earth.It is impossible to cure arthrosis, as well as old age, but to pay attention to this process is to expand your "youthfulness" and move without any problems!
All arthritis are divided into primary and secondary.
Primary arthrosis is a disease that is naturally found due to age -related cartilage changes.Arthrosis may develop early or late in life, due to hereditary predisposition, metabolic disorders, increased loads of joints associated with working conditions or excess weight.The age of arthrosis has just been younger and the disease develops at the age of 30-40.At the same time, women experience 2.5 times more often than men.In most cases, 30% of people already have changes in funds for 50 years, and at the age of 60, some manifestations of arthrosis appear to almost everyone and the field difference is no longer possible.
Secondary arthrosis is the result of once affected injury.It can develop at any age.
Arthrosis Development Mechanism
Usually, the surface of the joint is absolutely evenly, smooth and supple.They move freely, thanks to the joint fluid, the role of lubrication.At the same time, the surface of the joint, due to its elasticity, slightly returns to the highest pressure areas, distributes the load, will make it more homogeneous and work, like shocking.With arthrosis, a cartilage that covers the surface of the joint.It loses smoothness and elasticity.In some places with arthrosis, the cartilage becomes thinner and degraded, in some it grows and changes, losing a normal structure.Small cartilage fragments appear in the articular fluid, and the articular fluid itself changes and quantity.
The manifestations of arthrosis
Initially, due to the decrease in the amount of joint fluid, the normal effect of the joint is impaired and the pain appears during movement.Usually, they arise after intense physical work, go by, if you give a joint rest, but come back, you just have to update the load.At the same time, or a little later, the joint begins to get an injury at night.The soft tissues surrounding the joint are infected, they are "swelling" and excessive fluid may appear in the joint.Disclosure.The result of sluggish inflammatory reaction.This is due to its own joint tissue modification.Now the fabric is not native.It becomes changed - stranger!And it is good if the immune system does not start "attack" such tissue.Otherwise, the process moves into the category of autoimmune arthrosis.If the disease progresses, there is a limitation of movements, first due to pain, then due to the growth of a changed cartilage, which deforms the joint and does not allow it to move normally.
Arthrosis is a chronic disease.Sometimes the disease can occur over the years, only from time to time it recalls itself, and in some cases it develops within a few months at a severe stage.It should be remembered that, first of all - in any course, arthrosis does not suddenly appear and secondly - if the disease is not treated, its symptoms increase over time, interfere with life, deteriorate the quality of life, and sometimes cause disability and immobility.
The prevention of arthrosis
It is impossible to prevent arthrosis!But protect yourself from its quick appearance and progression ... it is possible and necessary and necessary!It is necessary to exclude joint damage and excessive loads.Moderate load is useful because it improves blood supply and joint nutrition.For the prevention of arthrosis, any rhythmic repetitive movement is well suited: walking, skis.Those who have excess weight should reduce body weight to reduce joint loading.Normalization of metabolic processes slows down the development of arthrosis, so you need to treat endocrine diseases timely and properly.
Treatment of arthrosis
If you notice joint pain after loading, short -term sensation of gravity and severity, crunchy joints, limitation of mobility, or other signs of arthrosis, it is necessary to consult a physician as early as possible, who will determine the degree of the disease and determine the proper treatment of arthrosis.In addition, it is necessary to figure out whether this is really arthrosis.Similar symptoms may appear with arthritis, which, unlike arthrosis, is inflammatory and treated by another method.
The choice of treatment for arthrosis depends on which joint affects the diseases, how to express symptoms and cartilage changes.In the early stages of the disease, conservative methods of treatment are used: physiotherapy, massage, therapeutic mud and anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -remedies.Although non -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -pain remedies, they should be taken very carefully.Using regularly, they affect the functioning of the liver, alter the blood composition and may cause ulcers to the stomach and intestines.Thus, the preference should be given to homeopathic and non -sticky methods that work longer and do not disturb the functioning of the body systems.
Medicine still cannot make the changes that have already occurred in the funds.At the same time, during timely -tested treatment, it is possible to significantly reduce or complete pain and restore mobility.The sooner the treatment begins, the easier it is to prevent unpleasant consequences of the disease.In some cases, when the disease has already developed, it is not possible to eliminate pain and return to the mobility of the joints.
