The disease creeps up slowly. It all begins with episodic stiffness or pain in the joints a little, say, squatting, you feel like twinge in his knee. Or painful sensation that you just when descending the stairs. It was during the descent, rather than when lifting. This is the first symptoms of osteoarthritis.
They are almost invisible. It is necessary to give yourself a brief respite, and the pain recedes - you can move on. And later, the pain will emerge, even when you sit on a chair, and increases at night. The disease is incurable, but its development can be halted or significantly slowed down.
There is no single cause, leading to the development of osteoarthritis does not exist. With age, due to changes in metabolic processes cartilage becomes more dry, brittle, cracks, oozes, and sometimes it disappears. All this is defined as "wear and tear" of cartilage.
At the same time changes and bone. At the edges of the joint formed bony outgrowths - osteophytes - "salt deposits." Decreases bone density: because of hormonal imbalance, they lose calcium and become more fragile, so developing osteoarthritis.
Development of osteoarthritis contribute to bruising, fractures, sprains, ligament damage or multiple micro joints. Osteoarthritis - an occupational disease among miners and players (arthrosis of the knee, elbow and shoulder joints), secretaries and weavers (arthritis of small joints of the hands). For osteoarthritis of the knee are overweight and flat, which increases the burden on them.
Flat changing posture of man: the body has an unnatural position and stress on the joints redistributed. If you weigh 80 kilograms, you stood on his feet, his every knee give you a load of 40 kilograms. During a leisurely walk to load is increased 4 times during the run - up to 6 times.
In order not to bring the body to disease, it is necessary in every possible way to eliminate risk factors: lose weight, correct posture and avoid excessive physical activity, alternating with rest of the load. If you need to find the right flat foot insoles. Shoes should be comfortable. Women have to give up high heels, studs. Sometimes it helps to wear knee of the dense elastic tissue. They are removed from the joints of the load.
The natural aging process it is possible to slow down the modern drugs that contain the basic components of articular cartilage. How to get rid of pain? Dull, aching pain in the joints can ease the heat, electrotherapy, acupuncture. On joints must take care not to overload them.
Osteoarthritis of hip, knee and flat feet should be less to run, jump, crouch, lift weights. You should not walk fast pace over rough terrain. No less harmful for a long time to sit and stand in one position, it affects the blood supply to aching joints. Therefore necessary to alternate periods of load with a period of rest: 15-20 minutes load, 5-10 minutes - rest.
Unload the leg joints better lying down or sitting with straight legs. A good way to maintain muscle tone - walking in comfortable shoes for flat terrain at a moderate pace. Daily walks for 20-30 minutes will help you keep fit. The main thing is not to hurry. Optimal sport - swimming. The water from the joints of the body load is completely removed and the muscles work very well. Useful training on simulators and cycling. In winter - skiing: slip also reduces the load on the joints.
I hope these tips are general practitioner with 40 years experience healing patients Valentina Rubanova willing to help as much as possible to avoid an encounter with the "disease of old age."
