HOMEOPATHY & ARTHRITIS FACTS
· Arthritis
is considered to be a leading cause of disability in the world. · Joint pain
is a common symptom that may be a manifestation of a variety of rheumatic
disorders, including those related to inflammation, cartilage degeneration,
crystal deposition, infection, and trauma. · There are
around 170 rheumatic diseases, but all have one common feature: they usually
affect the joints. · Some of
these diseases affect small joints, some large joints and in some joints of
spine get affected. Besides joints, they may also involve related structures
like muscles, tendons, and bursa (small bags of lubricating fluid that
separate two or more muscles and tendons). · Some common
joint disorders include Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid
arthritis, Gout, Cervical
Spondylosis, Ankylosing
spondylitis and Infective
arthritis. · Common
presenting symptoms are i.e. pain, stiffness, swelling, limitation of
movement, weakness and fatigue. · Immediately
meet your doctor if : 1. Arthritis is seriously
affecting the quality of your life. 2. Symptoms are not
relieved even after treatment. 3. Your joint pains wake
you up at night. 4. Your pain is so severe
that you can walk only a short distance. 5. Your X-rays show
significant damage in the joint. · Monitoring
of Arthritis - Monitoring of the disease from time to time is a must to know
the progress of disease. It can be done with the help Blood tests and
X-ray. · Control
body weight - People who are 20% or more over their normal bodyweight tend to
have more problem with their arthritis. Excess bodyweight puts an extra
strain on the weight bearing joints (like knee, legs, feet and spine) and
increases the pain. · EXERCISE
AND ARTHRITIS - Exercising forms an integral part of the arthritis control
plan and also helps in lifting your spirits. It helps to maintain normal
muscle strength, joint structure and function of joint. · Some tips
for exercising include: 1. Before starting an
exercise program always consult your doctor and get an individualized
exercise plan made for yourself. 2. Identify the type of
exercise you feel more comfortable with. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes. 3. If doing exercises for
the first time, do it for 10-15 minutes and then gradually increase the
duration. Moreover, always do some 'warm up' exercises (like gently
stretching your body) before starting. 4. Brisk walking is
considered to be the best exercise. Aerobic exercises like jogging, swimming,
cycling are also very beneficial. 5. Cool down for 5-10
minutes after doing the exercises. Do this by continuing your exercise at a
slower pace. 6. Do not overdo the
exercises. Avoid any jerky movements during exercise. 7. Avoid exercising
during flare-ups. 8. Stop exercising
immediately if you have sudden pain in the joint, severe pain in chest,
severe breathlessness, dizzy feeling or sick feeling in the stomach. HOMEOPATHIC APPROACH · The goals of
treatment are to relieve pain, maintain joint function, prevent joint
deformity and prevent complications. · Reports of
joint pain and tenderness in any type of joint disease are influenced by the
patient's emotional state and pain threshold. · There is no
single specific remedy for all the cases of Arthritis, as homeopathy treats
" MAN IN DISEASE NOT DISEASES IN MAN". HOMEOPATHY goes into your
deep study, by considering your immediate sufferings, your past illnesses,
your hereditary tendencies and family history, your emotional status as a
whole - during illness and otherwise, your reactions and behavior while under
stress your liking and disliking in food, drink, temperature, weather etc.
and many more things which comprise the constitution of the individual to
select an appropriate remedy to stimulate immune system as a whole. Therefore
it becomes important to individualize each and every case at its merits and
set parameters of improvement accordingly. · With
CONSTITUTIONAL HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT, as the auto regulatory processes
normalize, the destruction or degeneration processes are gradually stopped
and the repair processes in our body are enhanced, resulting in healthy
joints in a healthy individual, i.e. IN A HOLISTIC WAY. · Parameters
of improvements are 1. General improvement
-Improvement in general health and associated complaints of general nature
i.e. sleep, stamina, spirit etc. 2. Improvement at joint
level - Increased capability, strength and mobility i.e. Clinical improvement
in disease can be evaluated by INCREASE IN THE FREEDOM experience in the
joint movement, increased ability to walk, diminished pain and discomfort at
work involving particular joint etc. The quality of life improved, though
subtle to evaluate but is an important tool for assessment of improvement.
Increase in movements can be measured by noting down range or degree of
angles. 3. Improvement in Lab
Tests - Periodic x-rays and blood tests can help substantiate the
improvements.  Copyright
