Treatment of Arthrosis: modern and proven methods

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

The main signs of the disease

There are several symptoms of arthrosis. When walking, the pain appears. But in the early stage, they are very bad and often perceive them as leg fatigue. In the next step, the pain is felt with physical effort. And in the next step, pain syndrome will be even in a stationary position. If there is a cardiovascular disease, the pain will also be felt with the climate.

  • If there is a dry crisis in the joints, this is also a sign of arthrosis.
  • This crisis occurs due to the friction of the joints that are and.
  • In the next stages, the crisis will become higher and rude.
  • It should be remembered that the usual articulation crushing, accompanied by a sound crisis, is not a symptom of the disease.
  • One symptom is joint inactivity.
  • This is due to muscle spasm, the appearance of bone and peak growth, as well as a decrease in joint gap.
  • At the same time, the articulations affected by arthrosis are modified.

They are deformed due to the development of growth and peaks. The explosion of synovial fluid begins, which presses the joint inside. This increase is associated with articular tissue irritation and is called synovitis. Sometimes arthrosis is confused with arthritis, but these are completely different diseases. With arthritis, pain will be during movement and most of the time during the day. And with arthrosis, the pain is more acute, strong and not depending on the time of day, as well as the movement. Often, they can occur even with an immobilized state.

What are the degrees of arthrosis?

In the first stage, no obvious symptoms can occur. These will be small pain. But pathological changes have already begun in the synovial shell. At the same time, the muscles are already weakened, but still maintain their shape. In the second stage, the joints begin to collapse and the osteophytes (cones and growth) appear. The pain becomes more pronounced, although they may be tolerated. A violation of muscle functions begins.

  • In the third stage, the deformations of the support sites of the joints and the axes of the limbs change.
  • The joint bag becomes rude, the ligaments are shorter.
  • And this leads to intense pain and chronic inflammation.
  • The normal connection points are deformed.
  • The muscles also suffer when they begin to stretch to hire.
  • So these violations apply to all joint tissues and immobilize them.

Reasons

It is important to know the causes of arthrosis, as treatment methods depend on it.The appearance of the disease causes a violation of joint metabolism, because the cartilage begins to lose its elasticity. If cracks form in cartilage, there is a loss of proteoglycans. Doctors observe that arthrosis in the elderly and the causes of the occurrence are very closely connected. It is at this age that pressure problems begin, concomitant diseases occur (eg psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis), etc.

The main causes of arthrosis development are considered:

  • joint injuries;
  • disturbed metabolism;
  • overweight;
  • purulent arthritis;
  • MAn Nutrition;
  • hypothermia;
  • Automatic diseases;
  • intoxication;
  • tuberculosis;
  • sexually transmitted diseases;
  • hemophilia;
  • Affects diseases;
  • Thyroid diseases.

Symptoms

Signs of arthrosis allow to quickly diagnose the disease in the early stages. With arthrosis, symptoms and treatment are interconnected, because the faster the patient begins to be treated, the better. There are several specific features:

  1. CRANCH. It occurs with any movements, since the bones in the joint masted due to the reduction of the softness of rotation. With arthrosis, this crisis sounds very "dry", which allows you to distinguish this symptom of signs from other diseases.
  2. Pain. Naturally, in this case, the patient feels intense pain. With arthrosis, the pain is accompanied by certain characteristics. They are felt in making movements and, in a state of rest, there are no unpleasant sensations. Pain during sleep with joint disease can appear only with the progression of arthritis. These are painful sensations at different stages that allow to determine the stage of arthrosis. If arthrosis appeared for a long time, the pain will be felt almost constantly.
  3. Low articulation mobility. The more arthritis develops, the more arthritis loses its mobility. As a result, the disease can cause full immobility of the joints.
  4. Joint deformation. It manifests itself in the last stages of the disease.

No -Drug Methods

  1. Balanced diet, a healthy lifestyle. To prevent disease progression, patients should clearly observe the way of work and rest, eat healthy foods.
  2. Today there are special schools to cover arthrosis treatment methods. Training courses help the patient adapt to their illness and fight it successfully.
  3. Reducing the load to the joints. If there is excess body weight, it should be reduced - this will help normalize metabolic processes and also reduce load in the joints.
    4. Laser Therapy Treatment
  4. Medical Physical Education is performed in the non -construction phase, performed in the position of lying on the back or sitting. Switching and skiing are very useful.
  5. Physiotherapeutic Methods: The effect of heat on the affected area (eg paraffin applications), laser therapy, ultrasound and electrical nerve stimulation.
  6. The use of various discharge devices. With damage to the legs, it is recommended to walk with a cane, with knee joint arthrosis, the supporting wedges are used - this is how the joint load can be reduced and therefore reduces the manifestations of the disease.
  7. Massage improves blood circulation and helps restore joint mobility.
  8. Arthrosis patients show spa resort vacations, which has a favorable effect, both on the condition of the joint system and throughout the body as a whole. Recovery in the sanatorium should occur outside the stage of exacerbation of arthrosis, after examining the doctor and taking into account their recommendations.

Medication

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

  • Symptomatic medications affect the manifestations of the disease (painkillers, non -inflammatory drugs -naines, glucocorticosteroid hormones). In applying them, pain and inflammation disappear in a short time, which improves the quality of life.
  • Condropoprotectors - Products that restore damaged cartilage tissue and metabolic processes in it due to the activation of blood flow and stimulate the appearance of new cartilage cells.

Symptomatic agents are designed to eliminate the main manifestations of the disease and are prescribed for patients first. CondoProtectors contribute to interrupting disease progression and should be taken for a long period of time.

The basic principles of getting rid of the pathology

The complex treatment of joint arthrosis, like any other negative process, pursues three main objectives:

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

Based on this, the main treatment areas include:

  1. Elimination of serious concomitant diseases;
  2. Body weight correction;
    3. Knee pain
  3. Improve the nutrition of joint cartilage;
  4. Inhibition of local inflammatory reactions and their consequences - soft tissue edema and intraarticular fluid accumulation;
  5. Anesthesia;
  6. Joint stabilization and expansion of movement volume.

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

  • Drug treatment;
  • Physiotherapy;
  • Massage;
  • Medical gymnastics;
  • Folk treatment methods;
  • Surgical intervention.

Popular Remedies Treatment

Among the popular remedies, a large number of plants is used in the form of ointments, compresses, scrubbing, lotions and some of them can be taken inside. The best effect is achieved from a combination of several plants that have a multidirectional effect - analgesic, anti -inflammatory, decongestant, improving blood circulation and improving tissue nutrition. Before starting the use of popular treatment, it is advisable to consult a doctor about against -indications.

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

  • Lion tooth flowers (fresh and dried) - they can be chewed or infused with them. Newly common lion tooth flowers are washed and consumed by 5 to 6 pieces daily. In addition, you can pour a tablespoon of dry lion teeth with a glass of boiling water and, after cooling, drink one third of a glass three times a day. From the flowers, the alcohol tincture is also made - half liter, a dark bottle at the top is filled with lion teeth, pour vodka or alcohol in it. Sin in a dark place for a month and then rub the tincture in the painful joint. The course of treatment is 1 month.
  • The thin root is used for many diseases to relieve inflammation and pain. It is easier to make compresses from it. To do this, rub the hell, put it in a gauze napkin and pressed right in the painful leg. At the top, the compress is covered with a wool cloth and left all night. Instead of grated pasta, you can use plant juice. Compresses do daily for 1 month.
  • Aloe has several effects and can be successfully used for arthrosis. Removes pain, inflammation, edema, stimulates the recovery processes in the joint, increases blood circulation and lymphatic flow. With serious manifestations of arthrosis, you can apply the leaves removed from the skin all night. In addition, from aloe leaves, the trash is made - 10 large and fleshy leaves of Aloe, roll through a meat grinder and squeeze by gauze. Mix the resulting juice of 1/2 cup of honey and 150 ml of red wine. Mix the composition well, pour it into a dark bottle and use daily for a month.
    • Neoprene bandage
  • Sables are used in the form of dye. For its preparation, a half liter bottle is filled at the top with a dried swamp saber and spilled with vodka. After one month of storage at room temperature, the tincture is filtered, the grass is squeezed. The tincture is taken orally (20 drops 2 times a day) or used for compresses. The compress is placed in a painful joint at night and isolated with a wool cloth on top. Knowledgefish has an anti -inflammatory effect, normalizes the composition of intraarticular fluid and helps restore the plasticity of the cartilage.
  • A compress of salt, dry mustard and sand. Mix all components, put it in a baking dish and heat. In hot shape, pour the mixture into a cloth bag and secure to the painful point, hold until cool. The procedure removes pain well, increases blood circulation and stimulates recovery processes, but in the acute period it is prohibited, this compress is prohibited.
  • Honey compresses with salt are made with intense pain in the joint. To do this, mix 100 g of honey and a tablespoon of salt, put the dough to the fabric and apply to the leg all night. At the top of the joint, you need to wrap with a wool fabric.

Nutrition

In the treatment of arthrosis, an important condition for rapid recovery is proper nutrition. Doctors prohibit too much to eat so much so that the patient does not gain extra pounds. After all, this is an additional load in the joints.

But it is forbidden to starve, as the total regeneration of the cartilage fabric requires vitamins and screening elements. To reduce weight, you should adjust the diet excluding fat and flour products.

It is also important to stop drinking alcohol and especially beer. Most doctors recommends consuming as much waste as possible. This is not surprising as it contains a natural substance as a collagen that can improve cartilage elasticity and mobility. Be sure to pay attention to products that contain pyridoxin. They are bananas, potatoes, cabbage and nuts. With arthrosis, you need to consume as many legumes as possible (they contain folic acid) as well as eggs, mushrooms, liver and dairy (riboflavin is in its composition).

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

  • It is not recommended to eat heavy food at night;
  • You must eat fractionally;
    • Arthrosis of the fingers
  • Be sure to control body weight;
  • In a state of remission, after eating, it is necessary to do small walks.

Arthrosis is a very common disease and is therefore treated very successfully. The main thing is that this will consult a doctor in the first manifestations of the disease and then you cannot worry about complications.

Arthrosis prevention

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

For the prevention of arthrosis that occurs in relation to the background of injuries or diseases, it is necessary to perform proper treatment of underlying diseases.
