Cartilage tissue, consisting of cells and intercellular substance, has increased elasticity. For clarity, it can be compared with a soft sponge that separates durable surfaces. It is important to remember that such a “sponge” is saturated with joint fluid, which is released at the time of excessive load on the joint and lubricates it abundantly. When the load is removed, this fluid is absorbed, and the process is repeated again. In a healthy joint, only smooth cartilaginous tissue surrounds it, helping it to function efficiently.
Under normal conditions, chondrocytes are smooth and even, ideally suited to joints and bones in overall dimensions, but this does not always happen. Withering of the body is accompanied by degeneration. This means that cartilage is subject to an irreversible aging process. It loses its former elasticity, dries and becomes more loose. As a result, this surface of the cartilage tissue begins to crack and gradually collapse. During the course of this pathological process, the productivity of all tendons, ligaments and muscles significantly decreases. In this case, the joint is deformed, losing its former flexibility, and becomes painful.
However, there are a number of pathologies that are a consequence of cartilage tissue disorders. They can occur even at a relatively young age, requiring immediate medical treatment. The reason for the progression of the latter is exorbitant physical stress on the body, overweight, sedentary lifestyle. But not everything is so sad, because with a timely response, it is possible to restore cartilage tissue in a medical way.
Diseases associated with a violation of the integrity of the tissues of the joints proceed unnoticed, gradually forming extensive foci of inflammation. Moreover, one should not forget that such progressive anomalies are accompanied by an unpleasant pain syndrome even at rest. Such dysfunction of the body can lead to more serious consequences, and pain is only the beginning of upcoming problems. However, timely treatment can not only stop the disease at an early stage, but also restore the joints to their previous working capacity.
A detailed examination, the use of modern research methods (ultrasound, MRI and NMT, etc.) allow the specialist to make the correct diagnosis and prescribe a productive treatment regimen that includes drugs to restore cartilage tissue. These include Arthroglycan, Chondroxide, Teraflex, Chondra and others. The action of these chondroprotectors is aimed not only at eliminating pain and visible symptoms, but also at restoring cartilage tissue after the disease. But such medicines, as well as the possibility of their use in rehabilitation treatment should be coordinated exclusively with a competent specialist. experienced, qualified.
Despite the use of new types of drugs in the treatment, one should not forget that proper nutrition remains an important element in the effective effect on cartilage. It provides for special diets in the diagnosis of various diseases of the joints, in which the cartilage tissue loses its pristine properties. A good effect is demonstrated by green tea, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, vegetable oil, asparagus, since their use significantly accelerates the restoration of cartilage tissue. In addition, an individual motor regime is also important , which normalizes the patient's daily mobility in each clinical case.
Today, a huge number of dietary supplements have been developed, the action of which is aimed at updating the cartilage tissue, as well as its timely protection from destruction. But, one way or another, the use of all medications must be agreed with the doctor.
