Arthritis Relief - Is Arthritis
Limiting Your Life?
Osteoarthritis
or more commonly Arthritis affects over 21 million people in the United
States alone and people seeking arthritis
relief accounts for 25% of all visits to primary care
physicians.
Arthritis
is a degenerative condition of the joints caused by the wearing out of
the cartilage that between our bones, this cartilage acts as a cushion
inside the joint to help protect it from injury much like the
suspension in an automobile.
The
destruction or decrease of the
cartilage and the associated joint lubricant (called Synovial Fluid)
which leads to inflammation of the surrounding tissue which results in
joint
pain, what you and I call arthritis. To put it simply Arthritis
is the "wear
and tear"
on our joints due to age.
Arthritis can also be
caused by other factors. Some of these other causes for Arthritis are,
trauma to the joint, following an infection or injury, arthritis can
even be brought on by an abnormality of anatomy. Some foods have also
been linked to the early onset of arthritis.
Types
Of
Arthritis
Other forms of
arthritis
are rheumatoid
arthritis and psoriatic
arthritis,
which are
autoimmune diseases in which the body is attacking itself. Septic
arthritis is caused by joint infection. Gouty arthritis is caused by
deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint that results in
subsequent inflammation.
Arthritis
Relief
Arthritis
relief comes in many different forms, some people who suffer from the
disease look for arthritis relief in the form of pain killers and
these, though being quite effective at providing arthritis relief from
the pain itself, they do nothing about the underlying degenerative
condition.
Other
remedies include natural oils that when massaged into the affected area
provide a warming release from the joint discomfort and pain. And this
form of arthritis relief comes without many of the side effects we
associate with pharmaceutical solutions.
Some
of the newer trends for providing relief from arthritis pain include
the use of extracts derived from shark cartilage and green lipped
mussels. These substances not only provide arthritis relief from pain
they actually can have a therapeutic effect that may halt the progress
of the disease or in some instances may even reverse the condition.

These
extracts can come in the form of a capsule, a powder of even a shark
cartilage liquid. The liquid form of the shark cartilage extracts are
often the most effective way for treating arthritis and providing
arthritis relief. This is due to mainly to the ease of which the liquid
is absorbed by our bodies.
All
these substances are gaining popularity today and do provide arthritis
relief. I even use a version of this treatment for my cattle dog (Bonnie)
who
suffers from Hip Dysplasia which she developed when she was about 2
years old.
Though this condition is not
a genuine form
of arthritis it is a degenerative joint disease and she (Bonnie) does
respond very well to the treatment. I have been
administering the shark extract now for several years and am very
pleased with her results.
