Complex prevention of arthrosis or art of joint conservation

The person does not suspect about the existence of joints until they begin to express themselves ultimately with pains, mournful creaking, crunching, clicks or "jamming"( which is always not up to the time).

And along with the surprised realization that it's no longer possible to easily and carelessly jump on one leg, playing "classics", the woman is sad about the past youth, and to the man - the annoyance that some barriers now have to be bypassed, rather than skipping overon the move.

After visiting the doctor, the patient learns a lot about himself: that he is all joints, and the painful condition of those that hurt, is called "arthrosis".

Recognizes and about what he can face further neglect of his health.

In such a situation it is important to draw the right conclusion: now you can forget about the full restoration of the joints condition - to save what is left.

Three "whales" of joint health

Because the expression "anxiety about the safety of joints" is only a panic, the best in this case is the decision to master the art of saving joints.

The main "whales" on which the health of each joint and the entire musculoskeletal system relies are:

• attention to oneself;
• physical culture;
• proper nutrition.

The beaten concepts include careful observation of oneself with the study of movements that are learned from childhood - but are incorrect, habitual - but not physiological in nature, and some are simply dangerous.

It is their persistent repetition from an early age and led to premature wear of the joints, and now for the re-training you need concentration on what you do and how you do. This is the attention to yourself and culture( physical, henceforth largely therapeutic).

No less banal notion of "proper nutrition" - is again a concentration. But not on what should be abandoned - on the contrary, listening to the true needs of the body, understanding what it really needs.

Not an abstract concept of "vitamins", but a concrete one: a carrot, an apple at a time when the hand is habitually reaching for a piece of fatty, with blood, a piece of roasted meat.

Exempted from the burden of a heavy and dallying meal, the body itself will ask for movements and prompt the exercises necessary to maintain vitality.

So closes the great ring of wisdom of life, healthy and light for both joints and the whole body.

Supporting measures

Other important points for the prevention of arthrosis and other joint diseases:

• studies necessary to understand the finer needs of the body( determination of the mineral and trace elements in blood and tissues by laboratory and X-ray methods);
• drug correction of "distortions" in metabolism;
• physiotherapeutic and balneological procedures;
• ecological tourism;
• special methods of influence on the body( massage, yoga, fitness and similar techniques).

There are many methods of general healing of the joints and spine, and with a sincere desire and stubborn desire to find a lost balance( in the metabolism and literal, because the joints are the balance) and the restoration of the state of the cartilage tissue in full is possible.

After all, the mysterious word "arthrosis" is nothing more than a degeneration( degeneration) of the cartilage. Of which are articular bags and a thick layer of which are covered heads - the end of sliding adjacent to each other adjacent bones that form the joint.

Without its "repair", the slipping of bones with each passing day will become increasingly difficult and painful, causing tears and fury, until it stops completely, having previously passed through the stage of arthritis - inflammation of the internal and then - and external articular structures.

Gonarthrosis: "gonu" means "knee"

The peculiarity of the knee joint is its unusually high loading, because with prolonged forced balancing on one leg, the entire weight of the body presses on a very small area - the tibia.

Given that sometimes it also has to make jumps, you can appreciate the incredible wear resistance of this joint.

Another difference from the other joints is the presence in the front of a powerful bundle of a large sesamoid bone - the kneecap( knee cap), capable of dislocating to the outside or inside or even fracture.

When this dislocation becomes common, the joint is damaged by a much smaller force application. It not only "folds and folds" too easily, but it also acquires excessive mobility - it swings to the left and to the right and can even unnaturally strongly rotate around its longitudinal axis.

Therefore, to prevent arthrosis of the knee joints, patellar injuries and twisting movements should be avoided when the femoral head turns around its vertical axis with the tibialis fixed( as if a ski is worn on the leg).

In order to preserve the health of the knee joints, too deep squats should be avoided and the position in this position takes too long, avoiding clamping of the vascular nerve lines passing under the knee( the habit of sitting with one leg resting on the leg also leads to the same negative result).

Arthrosis of the foot joints

Given that the foot is a "spring", forming two arches: longitudinal and transverse, it is very important to preserve the integrity and integrity of the properties of its joints.

To do this, you should carefully avoid trying to "flatten" it. Arthrosis of the foot joints causes walking in shoes with high heels and in shoes without backs.

The most famous and common pathology of the foot is the "bone"( valgus deformity of the foot), resulting from a long walk "on tiptoes", which leads to wearing shoes on the "hairpin" of excessive height.

The habit of constantly walking "on heels" leads to a weakening of the tone of the Achilles tendon - the feet do not spring when walking, but "slap" on the floor, which leads to heel bone injuries.

Wearing shoes without backs leads to flat feet - the arch of the foot "flattenes" both along and across, and the body experiences unnaturally strong shocks during walking and running.

And, on the contrary, walks barefoot are extremely useful both for relieving fatigue of the joints of the feet, and for returning to the rightful place the center of gravity of the body.

Massed impact on the joints of the hands

By the number of formed articular joints, the upper limbs-hands are champions among all parts of the body.

And thanks to the incredibly witty design of the elbow joint, it is possible to carry out the most complex movements: here there is a joint serving the extension-flexion, and allowing one bone to roll-describe the semicircle around the other.

On the degree of freedom of small joints of the brush, the most perfect robot can only dream.

But the thinner and more complex the structure of the system, the higher the susceptibility to its destruction. After all, damage to the thinner vessels and nerves that ensure the life of the joints of the hands and fingers is much easier than analogous structures on the legs or body.

Therefore, for the operation of these joints, a stumbling block can be both elementary regular supercooling-overheating, and vibration from the operation of the pneumatic tool, as well as their injuries, and the excessive voltage required in precision work and art( playing the violin).

Prevention of arthrosis of small and large joints of the hands is to protect against all these numerous negative effects.

Arthrosis of the shoulder: what is silent Diskobol

Who, if not the athletes, throwers, is better than others who knows what the pain in the shoulder is, "flying away" along with the missed projectile: the disc, the spear, the ejected core?

But in everyday life, the overload on the shoulder joint can be very significant, whether it is lifting the weight up from the shoulder level or carrying something uncomfortable and large in the lowered hand, pushing a heavy cabinet during repairs, or the same action with a car stuck in the mud.

The situation is even worse when holding or lifting the weight is accompanied by a sharp jerk. Stretching of the joint capsule reaches a limit at this point, but after acute pain has passed, the victim usually returns to the previous work.

None of the treatment of speech usually comes before the "special" case( when the removal of the hand from the body becomes completely impossible, not speaking of raising it).

For arthrosis of the shoulder, you can come after falling on your side to the exposed hand, and as a result of a fracture or dislocation in the shoulder joint, and as a result of daily work with an elongated and retracted hand( as in a plasterer, painter, mason)(actual for athletes, "rolls").

Given that arthrosis of the shoulder joint is always a trauma, in order to prevent it, one should avoid getting into similar situations.

Hip joint: such dependent "suspension"

The complexity of the hip joint and the high degree of load on it is due to the design features: the thigh head enters the acetabulum of the pelvis at the side and at an angle widely open to the bottom.

Despite the mighty muscles that fix the thigh, its head is able to dislocate from its intended socket quite easily, and without such a dislocation it never goes away - coxarthrosis develops( "coke" is the "thigh").

The same result is given by the states when, while sparing the injured knee, the patient "falls" while walking, with all the weight of the body resting on the hip joint( "duck walk").As a result of this load, the joint simply "burns", breaking down and requiring prosthetics.

Very popular "settle" in the hip joint is the spread of hematogenous infections: tuberculosis, brucellosis, rheumatism, psoriasis, requiring treatment with special preparations.

Prevention of damage and development of arthrosis of the hip joint is to avoid traumatic effects on the joint bag and unnormal unnatural load.

Everything starts in the head

Summing up:

1. Prevention of arthrosis of all joints should begin from a small age by training children the correct biomechanics of movements for to prevent possible injuries - the causes of the disease.
2. Regardless of the design of the joint and its function, with the development of any of its pathologies should adhere to a clear plan, which includes mandatory primary consultation and subsequent close cooperation with a specialist.
3. If the cause of arthrosis is a hematogenous infection, treatment with an infectious disease doctor will be required, if tuberculosis is at the phthisiatrician( no treatment will not have success treatment).
4. To determine the cause of arthrosis and the degree of damage caused to them, a scrupulous diagnostic "investigation" is needed, during which the cause often turns out to be of a completely different nature than previously thought( up to the metastasis of cancer in the pelvic bone and scapula).
5. Immaculate adherence to the recommendations of the doctor during the examination and treatment by the patient is obligatory, the assistance of the patient to the efforts of the attending physician facilitates many times the search for the cause of the pathology.
6. Refusal to offer in-patient examination and treatment significantly complicates the process of treating the disease.
7. No modern medicine is able to replace the patient's own efforts to bring his body to order. Therefore, strict adherence to prescribed diet, motor regimen and rhythm of life must be carried out rigorously.
8. Without reviewing patients with many of their own life positions, treatment of success will also not be available.
