Deriving from the Greek words of inflammation, joint and bone Osteoarthritis is a chronic condition involving the joints that is caused by the breakdown of cartilage and other joint tissues usually due to bone deterioration. Although it can occur in any joint in the body it predominately affects the weight bearing joints such as the hips and the knees, and less frequently the ankles, shoulders, wrists and hands. It usually starts in one area and develops in other areas as the condition progresses.

Men tend to develop this condition at an earlier age then women, but statistically in the United States a whopping 90% of the population over the age of 40 has some aspect of osteoarthritis in their weight bearing joints.

How is Osteoarthritis Treated:
There are numerous treatments both conventional and alternative that are geared towards relieving the pain and inflammation of the affected joints. Many health practitioners combine different forms of treatment to enhance the curative or palliative effect. The most radical is surgery, replacing the diseased joint with an artificial substitute.

Other conventional treatments include:
 ▪  NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) drugs to relieve the pain and inflammation
 ▪  Physical therapy
 ▪  Psychotherapy to treat the ongoing depression associated with this condition

Alternative treatments include:
 ▪  Diet as a healing agent and weight reduction
 ▪  Mineral and nutritional Supplements
 ▪  Therapeutic touch/Reiki
 ▪  Magnetic Therapy: 5-20 half an hour sessions depending on severity of condition
