You may well have been told that you are
suffering from arthritis and been prescribed
anti-inflammatory drugs for the pain.
While these are useful there is a growing
body of evidence that long term use can
not only cause peptic ulcers, which can
be life threatening, but they can also
contribute to an increased risk of heart
attacks and I don’t need to tell
you that they are life threatening! So
is there anything that can be done for
your run of the mill degenerative arthritis
or do you just have to live with it. |
| The
answers to those questions are yes and
no. Most degenerative arthritis is due
to an injury or repetitive strain that
has not been rehabilitated correctly.
If your joint is injured it is overstretched,
this leads to a weakness that on further
occasions gets stretched more, resulting
in damage to the cartilage and a resultant
laying down of bone as your body stiffens
to limit the mobility of that joint. The
surrounding muscles become weaker, knotted
and tender and this pain contributes to
the deep ache of arthritic pain. |
| Simply
by reducing the pain with ice, easing
muscle aches with heat, massage and acupuncture
and gently mobilising and strengthening
the muscles around the joint you can feel
a great improvement in your symptoms and
possibly even slow this process down.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. |
| If
you have an inflammatory arthritis or
metabolic arthritis this needs to be treated
by medication from your GP and a change
in diet could also be of great benefit. |
