ARTHRITIS AND WHAT TO USE
By Peter Rose FSI

Contents include Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis

Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis can affect young people but are more likely to affect us as we get older, it is said that from about the age on 30 we lose about 1% of bone mass a year. Arthritis Care is a charity which supports research and care for sufferers. www.arthritiscare.org.uk   

Arthritis

SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
1)       Pain and loss of mobility
2)       Swellings around infected joints
3)       Redness and stiffness around joints, inflammation.
4)       Feeling of heat in the joint.

DESCRIPTION
This is a generic name for any pain connected with a joint. It can have a variety of causes and can occur at any age. It can be due to a degeneration of the bones, and or the ligaments that connect them. This degeneration can be through wear and tear or due to an “organic” problem with the bones. 

SOLUTIONS
Get blood tests, scans and expert diagnosis
Use of “TENS” machine to control pain
Diet cutting out stimulants and increasing “fish oils”
Glucasomine
Pain killer medication
Acupuncture to relieve immediate pain
Relaxation techniques
Yoga
Exercise, especially walking and swimming

If you have severe Arthritis and have not been able to do any exercise, start very slowly and gradually build up, persevere without over doing it.

Magnetic Support wraps around the affected Joints i.e Shoulder Wraps BWs-1 etc, Neck supports knee supports etc

Magnetic pillow MP-1 and MP-2
Magnetic Overlay MB-1 MB-2 MB-3 and MB-6

Rheumatoid Arthritis

SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
1)       Pain with reduced mobility of the joint
2)       Weakness in the joint especially under any sort of loading
3)       Swelling and redness around the affected joints.

DESCRIPTION
While Arthritis is a disease of joints and bone, Rheumatism is a disease of muscles and tissue, so Rheumatoid Arthritis is a disease affecting both the joint and the tissue around it

SOLUTIONS
The use of Anti-TNF medications have proved very useful but in the UK the governing body for the NHS medications; “NICE” have said that due to the high cost-About £10,000 per patient- these are only to be used if disease modifying agents have failed
Warmth applied locally

Use of “TENS” machine to control pain
Diet cutting out stimulants and increasing “fish oils”

Osteoarthritis

SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
1)       Severe pain in a joint
2)       Loss of mobility
3)       Constant pain even when at rest

DESCRIPTION

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder involving damage to the cartilage covered load bearing surfaces. This can sometimes lead to local deformities of the skeleton. In this form of arthritis there is not so much inflammation. The disease usually affects knees and hips but can affect any joint. Being overweight will increase the risk and severity of the problem

SOLUTIONS
Replacement of the joint with “artificial” ball and socket joints
Get expert diagnosis
Use of “TENS” machine to control pain
Cushioned shows to reduce jarring effect when walking.
Diet cutting out stimulants and increasing “fish oils” reduce weight if necessary
Glucasomine
Pain killer medication
Acupuncture to relieve immediate pain
Relaxation techniques
Yoga
Exercise, especially walking and swimming

Magnetic Support wraps around and directly to the affected Joints i.e shoulder Wraps BWs-1 etc, Neck supports knee supports etc (not Magnetic Bracelets)
Magnetic pillow MP-1 and MP-2
Magnetic Overlay MB-1 MB-2 MB-3 and MB-6
Magnetic Overlays

CONCLUSIONS

Arthritis is one of the most common ailments that affect people. While it is most common in those over 60 years old it can affect any one at any age. Being over weight and under active seems to increase the chance of suffering from it. “Old” injuries, which you may have recovered from and forgotten about, can often be the location for arthritis.
