OSTEOARTHRITIS
Most people over the age of 35 have at least some wear and tear in their joints, but that doesn’t mean that it has to cramp your style…
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis, and it affects almost all of us as we age. OA usually has a gradual onset and tends to begin after the age of forty. The knees, hips, fingers and spine are the most susceptible joints. This type of arthritis will affect one or only a few joints at a time, and usually won’t symmetrically affect both sides of the body at the same time (although that is possible). This is a degenerative condition that tends to worsen over time, especially with increased use of the affected joints.
How does it happen?
Most commonly, bouts of OA result from an injury to the joint, which causes some local damage that the body fails to properly repair. Unlike rheumatoid arthritis, the joint deterioration in OA is due to faulty or deficient repair of bone and cartilage in the joint. This can be due to lack of the essential nutrients required for repair, or due to faulty sensory and repair mechanisms in the body.
Signs and Symptoms
Osteoarthritis causes stiffness and joint pain on motion. This stiffness is typically worse upon first movement in the morning and after long periods of rest. Initially, there is no inflammation or swelling present in the joint, but as the damage progresses the joint may become inflamed and deformed. Muscles around the joint can spasm, joint mobility may decrease and there may be a grating or grinding feeling on movement. The pain eventually becomes constant and occurs even when the affected joint is at rest. In the majority of cases OA will appear in only one place and will not be symmetrical on both sides of the body. For example, a single joint in a finger can be affected without any other joints or fingers having a problem. When the arthritis is more widespread and symmetrical, it is more likely an inflammatory condition called: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
Conventional Treatment
Medical doctors will often recommend non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to help manage the pain associated with OA. Side effects of some of these drugs include: gastrointestinal bleeding, stomach ulcers, heart attacks and liver problems. Some of these medications, especially the NSAID group can actually accelerate the degradation of joint tissue and worsen the arthritis over time. More potent drugs called corticosteroids are sometimes recommended for arthritis. These will be medications like cortisone and prednisone. While they are effective at relieving discomfort in the short term, these drugs can cause loss of bone mass in the long-term. To help reduce this effect, many doctors will inject cortisone directly into the joint space to localize the therapy. Another common injection therapy involves directly injecting viscous fluid into the joint capsule to help bolster the fluid cushion (synovial fluid) between the bones. This is a temporary fix that reduces friction while the fluid lasts, before the body can reabsorb it back into the circulation.
Diet
The standard North American diet is deficient in the minerals necessary for proper joint repair; therefore it is not surprising that osteoarthritis is a common concern in today’s society. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can naturally provide the nutrients that our bodies need to rebuild our joints. Drinking plenty of water (at least 8 cups a day) can help to ensure that adequate joint fluid is always present, which prevents bone from directly contacting bone in the joint. In today’s society, most people’s diets also cause their tissues to be acidic. In order to buffer the acid in the tissues, essential minerals are stripped from the body, including those in the joints. An Alkaline Diet will help to prevent worsening of symptoms and maintain a proper mineral balance in the joints.
Topical Treatments for OA
Topically, juniper or St. John’s Wort oil can be rubbed into the joints to help reduce pain and relieve stiffness. Topical application of MSM has also been shown to help relieve arthritis pain. Joint creams and tablets with homeopathic remedies like rhus-t, arnica, and sulphur may also be helpful. Hydrotherapy with hot compresses or baths can also provide symptomatic relief. Alternating hot and cold treatments can help to bring down swelling and clear away some of the toxic build-up. Applying ice on the affected joints after strenuous activity can also help to prevent further joint damage by reducing inflammation.
Supplements for Reducing Pain and Inflammation
There are a number of supplements that can help to reduce inflammation in the joint and provide nutrients to allow the body to repair the previous damage. Fish Oil helps to reduce inflammation and provides the essential fatty acids required to keep the joint tissues flexible and strong. Herbs such as: Curcumin, Bromelain, and Boswellia can all help to reduce the underlying inflammation caused by joint degradation. Devil’s Claw is an herb that is particularly successful at reducing inflammation in degenerative conditions as well.
Supplements for Improving Joint Function
Glucosamine and Chondroitin work well together to help provide the body with the building blocks required for joint repair. Vitamin C, and Collagen can also provide essential building blocks for the body to repair the tissues. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) can also provide elasticity and flexibility to the joint cartilage, further helping to reduce joint degradation.
