What is it?What is the difference?
There is an arthrosis disease, but there is arthritis.Their names are very similar, these diseases are striking the same organs-the joints, but the very foundation of these ailments is still different.What is the difference?
What is arthrosis
One of the main characteristics of this disease is the lesion of cartilage tissue in the joint.With any arthrosis, there is aching pain in the area of the affected joint, swelling may appear.
At the same time, the cartilage ceases to cope with the load that is on it, and it begins to collapse more than that manages to recover.
As a result, the cartilaginous layer between the bones, which provides normal sliding of the articular surfaces of the bones, does not cope with its function, begins to collapse, and any movements are accompanied by pain.
What is arthritis
This is a chronic inflammatory process in the joints.Arthritis is caused by serious disorders in the nutrition of the joint.Often accompanied by swelling of the sick zone.
Symptoms of arthritis and arthrosis have a significant difference.
Arthrosis does not have in its symptoms of "volatility".Simply put, the inflammation that arose in one joint is extremely rarely switched to another joint, leaving the former alone.
With arthritis - a "flying" character can be traced.
The difference between arthritis and arthrosis is in the nature of the pain.
With arthritis, the pain subsides when a person is actively moving, with the exception of morning pain.
With arthrosis, stiffness in the morning passes in a short period of time, while moving the joint "cries".
Anti -inflammatory drugs of non -steroid type used in the treatment of arthritis can eliminate pain only for a while.Arthritis may stop showing himself, but then attack with renewed vigor.
With arthrosis, the reasons why the articular cartilage begins to collapse, metabolic disorders, excess weight, and a decrease in the blood flow of the joint may become.
Nevertheless, the most common cause is not the standard load on the joints.
In body-oriented therapy, somatic massage techniques are used, which relieves tension in the muscles and joints that carry a double load due to a sore joint.
Balancing of muscle compounds is carried out, which take on the function of the defender.They need to help release tension, relax.
The soft manual technique of relaxing connective tissues near the joint contributes to the increase in blood flow and the supply of oxygen.The joint "begins to breathe."

There is an opportunity to feel better, free yourself from tension, find contact with your body.
And, of course, this is only part of the path.
