Arthrosis is a joint condition that occurs with natural courses.The main symptoms are pain and movement limitations.Extensive arthrosis - arthrosis of pain from 10 to 15% of all inhabitants of the earth.It is not possible to cure arthrosis, such as old age, but paying attention to this process in time is to expand your "youth joint" and move without problems!
All arthrosis are divided into primary and secondary.
The main arthrosis is a disease that is naturally caused by age -related changes in the cartilage.Arthrosis can develop earlier or longer in life due to hereditary tendencies, metabolic disorders, increased burden on joints associated with excess working conditions or weight.The age of arthrosis has recently become younger and the disease has grown at 30-40 years.At the same time, women experience 2.5 times more often than men.In most cases, 30% of people have a change in joints by 50 years, and at the age of 60, certain manifestations of arthrosis appear in almost everyone and differences in the field are absent.
Secondary arthrosis is the result of injuries ever suffered.It can grow at any age.
The mechanism of development of arthrosis
Usually, the surface of the joints is true, is true, smooth and elastic.They move freely, sliding thanks to the liquid together that plays the role of lubrication.At the same time, the surface of the joints, due to its elasticity, bends slightly in places of the highest pressure, redistributing the load, making it more uniform, and functioning, such as shock absorber.With arthrosis, the cartilage covers the surface of the joint change.He lost his smoothness and elasticity.With arthrosis in some places, the cartilage becomes thinner and low, in others -it grows and changes, losing the normal structure.Small cartilage fragments appear in the articular fluid, and the articular fluid itself changes as and quantity.
Manifestation of arthrosis
Initially, due to the decrease in the amount of joint fluid, the normal operation of the joints was disrupted and the pain appeared during movement.As a rule, they arise after intensive physical work, pass yourself, if you give a break together, but back, you just have to continue the burden.At the same time, or a little later, the joints begin to hurt at night.The soft tissues around the joints are inflamed, they are "swollen", and excess fluid may appear in the joints.Efuri.The result of a slow inflammatory response.It is caused by self -renovation of tissue.Now the fabric is not original.It became changed - strangers!And it would be nice if the immune system didn't start to "attack" such a fabric.Otherwise, the process of entering the category of autoimmune arthrosis.In the event of the disease, there is a limit to movement, first due to pain, and then-and due to changing cartilage growth, which changes the shape of the joints and does not allow it to move normally.
Arthrosis is a chronic disease.Sometimes this disease can occur for years, only from time to time reminding itself, and in some cases develop before severe stages in a few months.Keep in mind that, first -where -where the course, arthrosis does not appear -seconds, and second -if the disease is not treated, the symptoms increase over time, interfere with life, worsen the quality of life, and sometimes lead to defects and immobility.
Prevention of arthrosis
It is impossible to prevent the appearance of arthrosis!But to protect yourself from its rapid appearance and development ... it is possible and necessary and necessary!It is necessary to exclude excessive injury and burden on the joints.Moderate load is useful as it increases blood supply and eats joints.For the prevention of arthrosis, any of the appropriate rhythmic movements: walking, skiing.People with excess weight should lose weight to reduce the burden on the joints.Normalization of the metabolic process slows down the development of arthrosis, so you need to treat endocrine disease in a timely manner and eat properly.
Arthrosis treatment
If you see joint pain after burden, feeling of severity and short stiffness, complexity in the joints, mobility limitations or other signs of arthrosis, it is necessary to consult a doctor as early as possible, which will determine the level of disease and prescribe appropriate arthrosis treatment.In addition, it is necessary to determine if it is true of arthrosis.The same symptoms can appear with arthritis, which, unlike arthrosis, has inflammation and is treated by other methods.
The choice of treatment for arthrosis depends on the joints affecting the disease, how to express symptoms and changes in the cartilage.In the early stages of the disease, conservative treatment methods were used: physiotherapy, massage, therapeutic mud and anti -inflammatory drugs.Although anti -steroidal medications significantly reduce pain, they must be carefully taken.With normal use, it affects liver function, changes blood composition, and can cause the appearance of ulcers in the stomach and intestines.Therefore, one should give priority to homeopathy and non -Drug methods that act longer and do not violate the functioning of the body system.
Medicine has not been able to change the changes that have occurred in the joints.At the same time, with timely treatment, significant decrease or removal of pain and mobility recovery is possible.Early treatment begins, it is easier to avoid unpleasant consequences of the disease.In some cases, when the disease has developed, it is impossible to eliminate pain and restore joint mobility, the destroyed joints are removed by surgery, replacing surgical endoprosthesis.
