Deforming osteoarthritis, or arthrosis of the joints, is one of the most common diseases that is associated with the depletion of cartilage tissue. The disease can occur as a result of various disorders, for example, a malfunction in metabolic processes, as well as injuries. Often people go to the hospital with a disease such as arthrosis of the elbow joint, as well as the hip - these are the most common types.
It should be remembered that a disease can lead a person to disability and disability. But do not be upset, there is a special medicine for the joints, which will be discussed later. Now we should address the causes of arthrosis:
- poor blood supply to the joints;
- elderly age;
- impaired metabolism;
- injuries of various kinds;
- concomitant diseases - hemophilia, arthritis, etc.
Osteoarthritis often appears in people who lead an active lifestyle and do not calculate the loads that they can do. Due to intense physical activity, the joints cannot stand it and the cartilage begins to thin.
To find out how to treat arthrosis, the first thing you should do is consult a doctor. The fact is that the disease can only arise or have a neglected form. If arthrosis has just begun to manifest itself, then at this stage a course of hirudotherapy will be useful, i.e. leech treatment. Usually, six to ten sessions are required to improve the patient's condition.
It is worth noting that some people need to take medicine for the joints in connection with their lifestyle or profession. For example, musicians - pianists, guitarists - can acquire arthrosis due to the frequent playing of the instrument, as a result of which the joints become rough and brittle. Moreover, arthrosis of the hands in the early stages is almost not noticeable. It all starts with harmless clicks in the joints of the fingers, then you can hear sharp loud sounds, which are accompanied by weak pain. Arthrosis of the elbow joint can completely limit the amplitude of flexion of the arm. A sharp pain will also appear.
That is why some people need to take medicine for the joints to prevent the disease. In any case, at the first signs of arthrosis, you need to see a doctor. It may be that the noted symptoms indicate the development of another disease.
A joint medicine that helps prevent or slow the development of arthrosis is called a chondroprotector. The main chondroprotectors are glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. They slow down the process of cartilage degeneration and stimulate its regeneration. There is also a medical device for the treatment of arthrosis, Arthrosustavit. It was used by many patients, most of them got a decent result. With the help of "Arthrosustavit" can significantly improve the condition of patients with arthrosis.
It is important to know that with arthrosis it is desirable to carry out complex treatment. Along with the use of medicines, it is worth wearing special knee pads or orthopedic insoles - this depends on the area of the disease. Massage will be useful, but here it is worth contacting a professional.
