Many people hear the word "arthritis" and don't know what it means. When they go to their medical doctor, they are told "they have arthritis and here is some drugs.There is nothing you can do".I understand the confusion because no one has explained what arthritis is and how it can be stabilized ,slowed down and maintained like any disease,pain free and without losing what you like and want to do in life.
O.K. this is what is really going on. Joints in your body move. That is their purpose. When a joint gets irritated from a)accident b)structural defects[scoliosis or any genital defect]c)neglect/ no spinal alignments d)poor posture,poor sitting habits,slouching or one sided activity or work, they get inflamed.The joint thinks to itself "If I just don't move, everything will be O.K."
The result is that any joint with this background begins to form a bridge,called a spur, and if in the spine ,the disc begins to wear away from the irritation and with other joints in the body ,the cartilage begins to wear away .This produces more inflammation and eventually you begin to have pain .That pain can be 30 years later. Mostly what people notice is a decrease in their range of motion or very minor ,come and go pain with some activities.You body is giving you signals which is a smart time to begin to address.
My office reverses the irritation with putting the joints into a neutral postion and strengthening the muscles around the joints to create the best joint possible. If one does this habitually ,your joints lives a long and healthy life .If this is not done, the joints wear out faster like a speeding train.
It is your choice how you want to age!!!!
