Highrosis treatment: modern and proven methods

Arthosis is a disease, due to which cartilage is destroyed within the joint. Over time, with arthrosis, serious changes begin, causing the inflammatory process to periarticular tissues. The treatment of arthrosis is mandatory, otherwise the disease will spread to most of the joints of the person, which will lead to disability.

The main signs of the disease

There are several symptoms of arthrosis. When walking, pain appears. But in the initial phase, they show themselves very bad and very often perceive them as fatigue of the legs. In the next phase, the pain is felt with physical effort. And in the next phase, the pain syndrome will even be in a stationary position. If there is a cardiovascular disease, pain will also happen over time.

• If there is a dry crew in the joints, then this is also a sign of arthrosis.
• This creak occurs due to the friction of the joints that are e.
• In the following stages, the creak will become stronger and rude.
• It should be remembered that the usual crew of joints, accompanied by a sound creak, is not a symptom of the disease.
• One of the symptoms is the inactivity of the joints.
• This is due to the muscle spasm, the appearance of subsidiaries on bones and peaks, as well as a decrease in the joint gap.
• At the same time, the joints affected by arthrosis are modified.

Deformed due to the development of growths and peaks. The outbreak of the synovial fluid begins, which presses on the joint from the inside. This increase is associated with the irritation of the joint tissue and is called Sinovite. Sometimes arthrosis is confused with arthritis, but these are completely different diseases. With arthritis, the pain will be during movement and very often during the day. And with arthrosis, the pain is more acute, stronger and does not depend on the hour of the day, as well as on the movement. They can often also occur with a immobilized state.

What are the grades of arthrosis?

In the first phase, evident symptoms cannot occur. These will be minor pains. But pathological changes have already started in the synovial shell. At the same time, the muscles are already weakened, but still maintain their shape. In the second phase, the joints begin to collapse and osteophytes appear (cones and outcrops). The pain becomes more pronounced, although they can be tolerated. A violation of muscle functions begins.

• In the third phase, the deformations of the joint support sites and the axes of the limbs begin.
• The joint bag becomes rude, the ligaments are shorter.
• And this leads to severe pain and chronic inflammation.
• Normal connection points are deformed.
• The muscles also suffer, while they start lengthening, to contract.
• Therefore these violations apply to all relative tissues and immobilize them.

Reasons

It is important to know the causes of arthrosis, since the treatment methods depend on this.The appearance of the disease causes a violation of the metabolism in the joints, due to which the cartilage begins to lose their elasticity. If cracks are formed in the cartilage, then there is a loss of proteoglycans. Doctors note that arthrosis in the elderly and the causes of the occurrence are strictly connected. It is at this age that pressure problems begin, concomitant diseases occur (for example psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis), etc.

The main causes of arthrosis development are considered:

• joint injuries;
• disturbed metabolism;
• overweight;
• Purulent arthritis;
• poor nutrition;
• hypothermia;
• automatic diseases;
• intoxication;
• tuberculosis;
• sexual transmission diseases;
• haemophilia;
• Disease pearls;
• thyroid diseases.

Symptoms

The signs of arthrosis allow to quickly diagnose the disease in the initial stages. With arthrosis, symptoms and treatment are interconnected, since faster the patient begins to be treated, the better. There are several specific characteristics:

1. Crunch. It occurs with any movements, since the bones of the joint rub each other due to the reduced softness of the rotation. With arthrosis, this creaking seems very "dry", which allows you to distinguish this symptom from the signs of other diseases.
2. Pain. Of course, in this case, the patient feels severe pain. With arthrosis, the pain is accompanied by some characteristics. They feel when they make movements and in a state of rest there are no unpleasant sensations. Pain during sleep with joint diseases may appear only with the progression of arthritis. They are painful sensations in different phases that allow you to determine the arthrosis stadium. If arthrosis appeared for a long time, the pain will be felt almost constantly.
3. Bad mobility of the joint. The more arthritis develops, the more arthritis loses its mobility. Consequently, the disease can cause complete immobility of the joints.
4. Joint deformation. It manifests itself in the last stages of the disease.

Non -pharmacological methods

1. Balanced diet, a healthy lifestyle. To prevent the progression of the disease, patients should clearly observe the way of work and rest, eat healthy foods.
2. Today there are special schools to cover the methods for the treatment of arthrosis. Training courses help the patient to adapt to his disorder and fight him successfully.
3. Reduce the load on the joints. If there is an excess body weight, it must be reduced: this will help normalize metabolic processes and also reduce the load on the joints.

4. Medical physical education is carried out in the non -construction phase, performed in the position of lying on the back or session. The gearbox and skiing are very useful.
5. Physiotherapy methods: the effect of heat on the affected area (for example paraffin applications), laser therapy, ultrasound and electric stimulation of the nerves.
6. The use of various exhaust devices. With the damage to the legs, it is recommended to walk with a stick, with the arthrosis of the knee joint, the support wedges are used - Here's how the load on the joints can be reduced and, therefore, reduce the manifestations of the disease.
7. The massage improves blood circulation and helps to restore joint mobility.
8. Artosis patients show a holiday in Resort spa, who has a favorable effect both on the condition of the joint system and on the entire organism as a whole. The recovery in the sanatorium should take place outside the exacerbation phase of the arthrosis, after examining the doctor and taking into account his recommendations.

Medicines

Drug therapy is the main method in treatment. The choice of drugs for the treatment of arthrosis is not so large, all the drugs used can be divided into two large groups:

• Symptomatic medicines influence the manifestations of the disease (painkillers, non -short anti -inflammatory drugs -fans, glucocorticosteroid hormones). When they apply them, the pain and inflammation disappear in a short time, which improves the quality of life.
• CONDROPROTECTORS - Products that restore the damaged cartilage tissue and metabolic processes due to the activation of the bloodstream and stimulate the appearance of new cartilage cells.

Symptomatic agents are designed to eliminate the main manifestations of the disease and are prescribed to patients in the first place. The chondroprotectors contribute to stopping the progression of the disease and should be taken for a long period of time.

The basic principles to get rid of the pathology

The complex treatment of arthrosis of the joints, like any other negative process, pursues 3 main objectives:

1. Impact on the causes that lead to arthrosis;
2. Elimination of negative pathological processes that accompany arthrosis;
3. Elimination of arthrosis symptoms.

On the basis of this, the main treatment areas include:

1. Elimination of serious concomitant diseases;
2. Correction of body weight;

3. Improve the nutrition of joint cartilage;
4. Inhibition of local inflammatory reactions and their consequences - edema of soft tissues and intra -articular accumulation of the fluid;
5. Anesthesia;
6. Joint stabilization and expansion of the volume of movements.

For this purpose, the following methods of treatment for arthrosis are used:

• Pharmacological treatment;
• Physiotherapy;
• Massage;
• Medical gymnastics;
• Folk methods of treatment;
• Surgery.

Treatment with popular remedies

Among the popular remedies, a large number of plants are used in the form of ointments, compresses, scrolls, lotions and some of them can be taken inside. The best effect is achieved from a combination of different plants that have a multidirectional effect: analgesic, anti -infammatory, decongestant, improvement of blood circulation and improve tissue nutrition. Before starting the use of popular treatment, it is advisable to consult a doctor on contraindications.

In the treatment of arthrosis of the knee joint, it was better established:

• Leo tooth flowers (fresh and dry) - can be chewed or infused by them. The barely combined lion flowers are washed and eaten 5-6 pieces per day. In addition, you can pour a spoonful of dried lion tooth with a glass of boiling water and, after cooling, drink a third of glass three times a day. From the flowers, alcohol tincture - half a liter of dark bottle in the upper part is also full of lion teeth, pour vodka or alcohol. Sin in a dark place for a month, then rub the tincture in the painful joint. The course of treatment is 1 month.
• The fine root is used for many diseases to relieve inflammation and pain. It is easier to compress it. To do this, rub the hell, put it on a gauze napkin and close to the painful leg. At the top, the picture is covered with a wool cloth and left all night. Instead of grated mass, you can use plants juice. The compositions do daily for 1 month.
• Aloe has more effects and can be used successfully for arthrosis. Removes pain, inflammation, edema, stimulates recovery processes in the joint, improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow. With serious manifestations of arthrosis, it is possible to apply the sbued leaves from the skin all night. In addition, from Aloe leaves, the garbage is made: 10 large and fleshy leaves of Aloe, scroll through a grid of meat and squeeze through a gauze. Mix the juice resulting from 1/2 cup of honey and 150 ml of red wine. Mix the composition well, pour it into a dark bottle and uses daily for a month.

• Jumps are used in the form of dye. For its preparation, a half -liter bottle is filled at the top with a shab of dry wire grass and poured with vodka. After a month of storage at room temperature, the tincture is filtered, the grass is crushed. The tincture is taken orally (20 drops 2 times a day) or used for compressions. The picture is positioned on a painful articulation at night and isolated with a wool cloth on top. Sabre fish has an anti -inflammatory effect, normalizes the composition of the intra -articular fluid and helps to restore the plasticity of the cartilage.
• A heating compress of salt, dry mustard and sand. Mix all the components, put it on a pan and heat. In hot shape, pour the mixture into a bag of cloth and stick to the sore point, hold down until it is fresh. The procedure removes pain well, improves blood circulation and stimulates recovery processes, but in the acute period this compress is prohibited.
• The compresses from honey with salt are made with severe pain in the joint. To do this, mix 100 g of honey and a tablespoon of salt, put the mass on the fabric and apply on the leg all night. On the upper part of the joint you have to wrap with a wool fabric.

Nutrition

In the treatment of arthrosis, an important condition for rapid recovery is proper nutrition. Doctors prohibit the excess of food so that the patient no longer gains kilos. After all, this is an additional load on the joints.

But it is forbidden to starve, since the full regeneration of the cartilage tissue requires vitamins and trace elements. To reduce the weight, it is necessary to adjust the diet excluding from it.

It is also important to stop drinking alcohol and, above all, beer. Most doctors recommend consuming as much garbage as possible. This is not surprising, since it contains a natural substance as collagen that can improve the elasticity and mobility of the cartilage. Make sure to pay attention to the products containing pyridoxine. These are bananas, potatoes, cabbage and walnuts. With arthrosis, it is necessary to consume as many legumes and herbs as possible (they contain folic acid), as well as eggs, mushrooms, liver products and dairy -caseari (riboflavin is in their composition).

All the main principles of a healthy diet in this disease are the following points:

• It is not advisable to eat heavy food at night;
• You should eat fractionally;

• Make sure to control body weight;
• In a state of remission, after eating, it is necessary to take small walks.

Arthosis is a very common disease and is therefore treated with great success. The main thing is that this will consult a doctor at the first manifestations of the disease and therefore you cannot worry about the complications.

Prevention of osteoarthritis

The prevention of arthrosis due to age and professional overload is to combat premature body aging through rational nutrition, sufficient physical activity and the hardening of the body. It is also necessary to eliminate professional damage as much as possible.

For the prevention of osteoarthritis that occurs against the background of injuries or any diseases, it is necessary to carry out adequate timely treatment of the underlying diseases.
