Arthritis joint disease is an inflammatory joint disease that can manifest itself both in its own form( infectious arthritis) and in conjunction with other diseases( internal disease).
The peculiarity of the structure of tissues causes the excellent response speed of joints in a certain process of action on mediated and various direct effects. In many cases, this disease begins to manifest itself with exudative synovitis, in which all elements that form:
- cartilage are subsequently involved;
- bone;
- ligaments;
- synovial membranes;
- articular fluid.
Three types of arthritis are distinguished by the nature of the disease :
- Acute - characterized by severe and regular pain, which indicates the presence of an inflammatory process in the body.
- Subacute - characterized by less severe pain in the joints, but all the same indicates that the body has an inflammatory effect.
- Chronic. This form of the disease proceeds gradually, is characterized by pain in the joints during movement. The inflammatory process itself is almost invisible.
If we take into account the types of arthritis in terms of lesion volume, then we can divide the disease into :
- monoartart - i.e.inflammatory process in one joint;
- oligo arthritis;
- polyarthritis( several joints are involved).
Arthritis of the joints is accompanied by pain that is spontaneous in nature. It is most pronounced at night. Prevent a small pain after several joint movements.
The very violation of the joint is also manifested by tissue changes. This change is expressed in varying degrees, perhaps in the form of pain, which interferes with the movements of a person, or the complete immobility of the joint.
Also one of the symptoms of arthritis is redness and swelling, a change in body temperature of a person that is noted in an acute form of the disease. With decreasing body temperature, neurodystrophic arthritis is observed, which is marked by the cyanotic skin of .If the deformity of the joint itself is observed, this is a consequence of changes in the soft tissues of a person, contractures and subluxations.
For the treatment of arthritis, complex therapy is used that is directed at :
- to reduce inflammatory reactions, including medicamentous and physiotherapeutic agents and compresses;
- treatment of the underlying pathological process of the disease;
- restoration of the functionality of the joint. Here you can include: massage, therapeutic gymnastics, manual and kinesitherapy;
- changes the immunological and general reactivity of the suffering person from arthritis.
