A huge number of people suffer from arthrosis, a joint disease. Almost 80% of humanity know firsthand about the unpleasant symptoms that appear with this pathology. When it occurs, the cartilage inside the joint is destroyed, which directly leads to its degeneration. The main clinical symptom of the disease is pain, which is provoked by functional insufficiency of the joints due to deformation. When diagnosing pathology, generalized and localized forms are distinguished. With the first, several intra-articular cartilages are destroyed, and with the second, only one. In the case when the medical history says “osteoarthrosis,” this means that the disease has entered a progressive stage and become chronic. For this disease, risk factors, in addition to genetic predisposition, are:
Also, some unfavorable environmental factors, such as imbalance of the ecological balance and exposure to chemical toxins on the body, can also be prerequisites for the development of arthrosis. They lead to the emergence of a pathological process in the joints and their injuries, or operations performed.
This disease can be primary or secondary. In the first case, the prerequisites for its development are genetic factors, such as congenital defects of the musculoskeletal system and disorders in the composition of cartilage tissue. The secondary form of arthrosis occurs due to joint damage caused by various reasons:
Experts who deal with joint problems note that it is impossible to say unambiguously why pathological changes that provoke the occurrence of arthrosis begin to develop in cartilage. The prerequisites that directly cause the emergence of this process can be very diverse. In addition, recently the trend indicating that this pathology is beginning to rapidly “get younger” is becoming more and more clear. If several decades ago the main category of patients suffering from this disease consisted only of elderly people, today joint diseases are detected in those who have not reached the age of twenty-five, and even in adolescents.
Experts identify about a dozen types of this disease, which have common symptoms, but at the same time differ in the course and characteristics of treatment. The most common types of illness are:
All these forms of arthrosis are a progressive pathology, characterized by the destruction of joints with direct involvement of bone tissue in the process. Untimely treatment of the disease can have irreversible consequences and even lead to disability.
Arthrosis is based on a malnutrition of the epiphyseal (articular) ends of bones due to damage to the vessels supplying blood to them. This leads to the occurrence of aseptic necrosis in them, aggravating joint damage. This situation indicates that the pathology is progressive. The development of the disease is indicated by aching, crunching and aching sensations in the joints. You should also be wary of their periodic swelling and reduction in range of motion. The signs of arthrosis are almost similar to the manifestations of arthritis, but there is a main difference between these diseases - the first is caused by destructive processes, and the second by inflammatory processes. Most often, destructive changes develop in older people in the knee and hip joints.
Arthrosis is characterized by pain that appears on the sly, which occurs only periodically at first, and worsens after a person who has been at rest begins to suddenly stand up or perform physical activity. This pathology, accompanied by inflammation of the tissues and nerve trunks surrounding the joint, is also manifested by the fact that it is accompanied by four main symptoms:
Detected signs of arthrosis should serve as a reason to begin active action. In no case should the identified symptoms be ignored, since the sooner the disease is diagnosed and adequate treatment begins, the greater the chance that the insidious disease will be overcome.
Arthrosis is divided by doctors into 3 separate degrees, the definition of which, provided that the symptoms are known, is a fairly simple task. That is why it is worth finding out what features each phase of the disease has:
If these alarming signs occur, it is necessary to urgently consult a specialist, since effective treatment leading to a slowdown in the progression of the pathology is possible only at stages I, and less often at stages II of the disease. Only during these periods of development of the disease, saving joints from destruction does not pose significant problems.
When identifying this pathology, the leading research method is radiography. Specific signs obtained with its help help in making the correct diagnosis. Specialists pay attention to whether osteophytes have appeared, how flattened the articular surfaces are and whether the joint space is narrowed. Diagnostic studies are carried out using magnetic resonance or computed tomography.
But these methods have a significant disadvantage. They are informative only when arthrosis has entered the final stages of its development and joint deformation is progressing. This disease can only be detected in the early stages using the radionuclide method. At this time, it is the most informative due to the fact that due to significant changes that have occurred in the synovial fluid, its ability to release and absorb radionuclides is impaired.
In order to diagnose arthrosis, which is in the initial stages of development, a biopsy of the articular cartilage is used and a puncture is taken from it. In order to obtain general information about the state of the body and identify pathologies accompanying arthrosis, laboratory tests are also carried out - protein fractions, general clinical blood test, sugar level, rheumatic tests, etc. Detection of concomitant diseases with this disease is necessary, since it often turns out that it is precisely the triggering factor for the development of the disease.
Therapeutic measures for arthrosis, manifested by progressive dystrophy of the joints, are aimed at restoring their mobility, stopping the development of pathology, preventing the occurrence of complications and reducing the pain syndrome accompanying the disease. Recovery takes a long time. Each patient is given an individual treatment regimen, which includes not only medications, but also appropriate non-drug medications. All methods of complex therapy for arthrosis are divided into 3 groups:
Surgical intervention for this disease is prescribed only when drug therapy has failed. There are several types of such treatment:
The method of surgical intervention for this joint pathology is chosen by a specialist. To prescribe it, information such as the age, general health of the patient and the results of examinations is required.
The consequences that can be caused by the development of this disease depend on the age and general condition of the patient, as well as the form and location of articular lesions. Primary arthrosis has fewer clinical manifestations and a more favorable course. The severity of secondary ones is aggravated by the patient’s injuries or his history of diseases. The most dangerous type of disease is considered to be damage to the hip joint, which almost always leads to disability. This pathology is worst in old age. The prognosis of the disease regarding the complete elimination of the changes that have occurred in the joint is unfavorable, since in an adult, restoration of cartilage is impossible. But if adequate therapy is used for many forms of arthrosis, it is possible to almost completely restore joint function and eliminate pain.
Preventive measures for arthrosis are aimed at eliminating the factors that provoke its occurrence and treating concomitant conditions that affect the degenerative process occurring in the joints. The main recommendations for preventing the disease are the following:
Excess weight overloads the joints of the lower extremities. Even if an obese person does not yet have problems with the musculoskeletal system, sooner or later they will certainly arise.
Modern progress (cars, computers, fast food) has given rise to a disease that was previously unknown to humanity - physical inactivity is a scourge for joints.
A sedentary lifestyle has a very negative effect on muscle tone, blood circulation, and the condition of all joint tissues. Sometimes weight increases even with a normal lifestyle, which is due to age-related and hormonal changes in the body. This trend needs to be caught in time and nipped in the bud.
Prevention of arthrosis and osteoarthritis involves a combination of various therapeutic techniques:
Preventive measures should not be remembered when the disease has already made itself known; they should be taken against the background of absolute health. This is the only way to prevent arthrosis of the joints, which is very difficult to treat.
Basic preventive actions to prevent arthrosis:
To prevent arthrosis of the knee, ankle, hip and other joints, a person’s life must be full of movement.
Healthy joints do not need to be burdened with static loads that require great effort (lifting barbells and other heavy objects). It is best to visit the pool, go jogging, walk a lot and go skiing.
These measures help fight excess weight and strengthen not only the musculoskeletal system, but the entire body as a whole. Improving blood circulation in the periarticular tissues provides cartilage tissue with all the necessary nutrients and prevents its destruction.
But the loads should be moderate. Prevention of arthrosis can turn into a provoking factor if:
Therefore, before you start preventing arthrosis, you need to consult with your doctor. Loads in each individual case are selected individually.
What works for one person can cause significant harm to another. If during exercise the patient begins to feel discomfort, exercise should be stopped.
Gymnastic joint prevention is very simple to perform and does not require the help of an instructor. Since water reduces the load on the joints, it is recommended to visit the pool at least twice a week.
An important factor in prevention is the correct daily routine. Constant lack of sleep, overeating and rare walks in the air have a very negative impact on the condition of the entire body and on the joints in particular. Without noticing it, a person slowly but regularly loses his health.
If all these conditions are met, many diseases will “pass by”, and some that already exist will disappear.
Joints need warmth, it’s not for nothing that grandmothers sitting on benches, even in summer, do not part with warm socks and gaiters. The old generation knows from their own experience that joints do not like cold. You can keep warm well with knee pads. You can make them yourself (you will need dog hair for this) or purchase them in a store.
There are sports knee pads that not only warm the joint, but also fix the knee, supporting it.
Joints should be protected from any kind of injury. Professional athletes are well aware of what post-traumatic arthrosis is. Excessive loads during training invariably lead to microtrauma of joints, sprains, partial or complete ruptures of ligaments.
As long as a person is in excellent physical shape, the tone of the muscle tissue allows the joint to be securely fixed, so problems are often simply invisible. But after completing a sports career, the muscular frame weakens significantly, looseness appears in the joints, aching pain and crepitus appear.
Pain with post-traumatic arthrosis of the joints is the most intense. That is why you need to protect your joints from any injuries and excessive stress.
Following these recommendations will allow you to protect your joints from arthrosis and many other problems after many years.
It is quite difficult to characterize the disease arthrosis of the joints unambiguously. This name brings together a whole group of pathological changes that affect articular cartilage, subchondral bone, adjacent ligaments and the muscular corset. Such processes lead to the appearance of degenerative changes that can provoke stiffness of the limbs. In the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), the disease arthrosis has a different name (osteoarthritis). It belongs to the class ICD-10 (MOO-M99)/MOO-M25/M15-M19. The disease code according to ICD-10, in which bilateral damage to the same joint is diagnosed, is designated M16-M19. And, accordingly, damage to the hip joint has code M16. Arthrosis of the knee joint - M17, arthrosis of the wrists and heels - M18. Knowing what ICD-10 code a particular disease has, doctors can more easily navigate the collection of medical history and prescribing the necessary treatment.
It is difficult to understand how dangerous arthrosis of the joints can be, which the video clearly describes, without knowing the anatomical features of such a motor unit. A video or a detailed story from specialists will help you study the structure. What is a joint? This is a knot that connects two articulating bones (this is clearly visible in the photo). It provides movement of the limbs. The shape of large and small joints, the range of mobility, and the ability to withstand a certain threshold of physical and mechanical load are determined by genetic predisposition. But if you take care of the main joints from a young age, you can prolong their maximum safety.
In order for the articulation of bones to function normally, there must be a layer between them that ensures unhindered sliding. It is synovial fluid (also known as a biological lubricant). The joint capsule is responsible for the tightness of the joint cavity. The mucous membrane of this capsule produces a biological lubricant. It provides nutrition to the articular cartilage while allowing the two articulating bones to glide as freely as possible. There are many joints in the human body. Each of them provides a certain type of movement, which is why the anatomy of the moving nodes differs from each other. The amplitude of movements is determined by the structure of the nodes, the characteristics of the ligamentous apparatus, and the muscles that provide attachment to the bones and tendons.
When arthrosis of the joints occurs (the video once again proves this), the cartilage tissue is the first to be involved in the pathological process. It is made up of cells called chondrocytes. They are constantly involved in the synthesis of collagen (responsible for the elasticity and strength of cartilage) and substances that form the cartilage frame. But in cartilage tissues there is another type of cell (chondroclasts). Their function is exactly the opposite of that of chondrocytes. If the two antipodes work harmoniously, the joints adapt well to the highest types of mechanical and physical stress. As soon as the balance is disturbed, pathological processes develop, leading to arthrosis. As can be seen from the description, arthrosis is not a deposition of salts, but a complex degenerative-dystrophic process.
The disease can develop for various reasons. There are several of them, it is advisable to identify only the most common of them:
In any case, no matter what form progresses, the symptoms of joint disease are the same: first, clearly visible swelling appears, then pain, which appears with increased physical activity or at a certain time of day (at night, for example, or in the morning in the form of stiffness of the limbs). When the described pathology enters the chronic stage of development, pain becomes a constant companion of a person. The diseased joint turns red, swells greatly, and then becomes deformed. Severe cases of arthrosis almost always lead to complete immobility of the sick person. Because of this, arthrosis is considered dangerous.
Arthrosis of the joints, which the video talks about, is systematized in different ways:
Various names for the pathology - asteoarthrosis, osteoarthritis, arthrosis deformans - are one disease. Different names help clarify and indicate the cause of the development of the disease being described.
Pain cannot just appear. There are usually reasons for this, which must be diagnosed and treated. Most often, pain is a sign of destruction of cartilage tissue, instead of which connective tissue, which has completely different functions, then begins to grow.
The second, no less common reason is bone growths, which limit the mobility of the limbs, as well as shortening of muscles and ligaments, which occurs as the body ages.
And finally, a common cause of pain is inflammatory processes that can be caused by microbes that enter the joint through the lymph or blood flow. Therefore, in order to avoid all these problems, you need to carefully take care of your skeletal system and carry out prevention of all these diseases, which often lead to disability.
There are quite a few reasons why joints are destroyed. Such reasons include poor nutrition, frequent exposure to dampness and cold, poor environment and bad habits.
Very often, joint diseases are infectious in nature, and also occur due to impaired blood circulation in the extremities. Also, joints can suffer due to injuries and frequent stress.
There are many reasons for such problems. This means that the symptoms will be different. The main ones include:
Bursitis can be caused by infections affecting the joint due to abrasions, bruises and other injuries. This disease is characterized by inflammation of the joints and accumulation of fluid in them. The most common joints affected by bursitis are the shoulder, elbow and knee joints.
Symptoms of this disease can be pain, fever, swelling in the affected area, general malaise, nausea, etc.
Bursitis is treated with rest, painkillers, Vishnevsky ointment, etc.
To treat the joint in specialized institutions, the following methods are used:
Calcium is the basis of bone tissue. Without normal levels of this macronutrient in the body, it is impossible to have healthy joints. In bones, like in any other tissues of the body, a continuous process of renewal occurs. New cells replace old ones.
In this case, calcium is used, which enters the body with food. By the way, vitamin D is needed to absorb this macronutrient, so when choosing foods or artificial supplements for your diet, you need to increase the amount of this vitamin.
There are a lot of sports supplements to help ligaments and cartilage. The best ones are glucosamine supplements. This substance in the body is responsible for the production of emergency protein, which “patches” damaged cartilage tissue.
Take glucosamine in courses of 6-8 weeks 2-3 times a year. Daily dosage 1500 – 2000 mg.
Another building protein of cartilage tissue is called chondroitin. It is not as popular among sports nutrition manufacturers as glucosamine. But you can also find supplements based on it to restore joints.
The chondroitin molecule has an important task. It brings water to the joints.
If the joints do not receive the required amount of water, they will quickly wear out. I take preparations with chondroitin (made from pork, shark and whale cartilage) during periods of heavy physical activity, 800-1200 mg daily in the morning and afternoon with meals.
Regular physical activity helps to prolong the youth of joints. There are a lot of exercises to strengthen the moving parts of the musculoskeletal system.
Traditional medicine can offer many remedies for the treatment of joints.
If you have arthrosis, you need to eat foods that contain collagen in large quantities. This fibrillar protein is the basis of cartilage tissue.
Jellied meat is the champion in terms of the content of this substance. Therefore, for arthrosis and to prevent joint diseases, you need to include this legendary dish in your diet.
For sore joints, you can use honey-based products. For this purpose, honey massage of sore spots is used. For greater effect, they can be preheated with a heating pad. After 10 procedures, the pain should go away.
Honey tincture is another popular remedy used to treat the problems described. To prepare it, you need to mix half a glass of radish juice, a glass of honey, half a glass of vodka and a tablespoon of table salt.
This tincture should be taken daily before bed, 50 ml and rubbed into sore joints.
Gelatin is a good alternative to pork cartilage, which not so long ago was widely used to restore cartilage tissue. But, unlike gelatin, excessive consumption of such cartilage is harmful to the body.
It has been found that this product can increase blood cholesterol levels. Gelatin has not had this side effect.
Many people suffer from vitamin deficiency, especially in winter, when foods rich in vitamins for strengthening bones are practically removed from the diet.
The result is inflammatory processes, frequent injuries and sprains of ligaments, muscles and bones. That is why doctors recommend medications containing substances for joints.
List of prescribed vitamin preparations:
An ordinary mummy will help strengthen your joints. It has proven its effectiveness not only in replenishing the necessary components, but also in the treatment of fractures and bruises.
Shilajit contains a lot of useful biologically active substances. The supplement can be used both internally and topically.
Various ointments and creams are prepared from it. Shilajit has shown greater effectiveness when used internally.
The product must be taken in the morning. For this purpose, the medicine is purchased at the pharmacy in the form of tablets.
Before use, the capsule must be dissolved in a tablespoon of water or washed down with milk. For external use, it is enough to dissolve 5 g of the component in liquid and dilute all 10 g of honey.
The resulting mixture is applied to the affected area. The duration of therapy is 5 days.
Antibiotics are used to treat inflammatory processes in joints. For example, Minocycline.
This drug quickly and effectively acts on the source of the disease, helps relieve swelling and a feeling of stiffness. In addition, the active substances included in Minocycline slow down the destruction of cartilage.
This remedy is indicated for inflammatory or infectious arthritis.
Modern medicine offers a number of drugs that promote joint health. They come in various forms - tablets, capsules, injections...
Intravenous drugs Corticosteroids are a group of hormonal drugs. They are effective against edema, have an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect.
The most commonly used medications from this group are:
This is a non-hormonal remedy that prolongs the youth of joints by compensating for lubrication. We are talking about a rather expensive treatment, however, at the same time, it is the most effective. The price of an ampoule of the drug is about 4,000 rubles.
Oral medications are more convenient to use, and their effectiveness is not inferior to injectable medications. The most common medications are as follows.
Medicine to strengthen bones or vitamins?
1. Combined preparations with collagen. Now there are many drugs that are aimed at strengthening the skeleton, used both during the rehabilitation period and for the prevention of fractures. One of these is “Collagen Ultra”. This medicine for strengthening bones has the following properties:
2. As a medicine to strengthen bones, mineral-organic and vitamin complexes containing minerals and vitamins to strengthen bones are often used. These include, for example, Gemmos, Vitaltsius, Emmos and others.
Herbs and certain vitamins can help increase bone density and strengthen joints.
Joint and bone pain causes a lot of inconvenience to a person. This is due to calcium deficiency in the body and lack of essential nutrients. You can cope with the problem by using medications and performing physiotherapeutic procedures. You can supplement complex treatment with proper nutrition. To restore joints and bones, you need to resort to the help of mucopolysaccharides. These components are the basis of the intercellular composition of connective tissue. They are found in bones, cartilage and ligaments. Their main function is the formation of synovial fluid. Mucopolysaccharides include hyaluronic acid. It helps retain free fluid and makes connective tissue elastic. An important component is chondroitin sulfate. Most dietary supplements include these substances. You can get them not only by taking medications, but also through proper nutrition. During the cooking process, you need to follow one rule: do not remove bones, tendons and cartilage from meat and fish products. These parts are rich in mucopolysaccharide content. They are present in sufficient quantities in jelly and fruit jelly, which are based on gelatin. It is necessary to supplement the diet with foods high in calcium and phosphorus. The deficiency of these components can be compensated by eating mussels, shrimp, herring and mackerel. Raw vegetables are rich in vitamins. Without their sufficient content in the body, the synthesis of cartilage tissue is impossible. When preparing salads, they should be seasoned with vegetable oils. To prevent the accumulation of salts in joints, it is necessary to drink purified and mineral water. For the benefit of your own health, you will have to give up meat, smoked meats and dried fish. It is important to steam all foods and not fry them. To summarize, it is worth noting once again the components without which the normal functioning of the body is impossible:
Compliance with the basic rules in preparing a daily diet is the key to a healthy life. Proper nutrition will not only strengthen the body, but also avoid weight gain.
Sports medicine pays close attention to the treatment and prevention of joint diseases. Athletes experience heavy loads and the first ones to “ask for help” are their joints.
The ancient Greek sages noted: “We are what we eat.” This statement has not lost its relevance in the 21st century.
It has been noted that boxers and textile workers tend to develop arthrosis of the joints of the hands. Farmers and basketball players have knee joints.
Tennis players and workers who use jackhammers have shoulders. In other words, those joints that bear the maximum load in everyday life suffer the most.
However, it is dangerous not in itself, but because it leads to regular microtraumas, due to which the intra-articular cartilage begins to crack and thin over time.
The weight of the body puts pressure on the supporting joints - the hips and knees, as well as on the joints of the spine.
And the more excess kilograms a person has, the higher the load and the correspondingly higher the risk that the intra-articular cartilage will begin to wear out ahead of time.
In addition, adipose tissue impedes the flow of blood to the joint, and therefore its nutrition. By the way, excess weight not only increases the risk of arthrosis, but also worsens the course of the disease - joint destruction progresses faster.
Intra-articular cartilage is 80% water, and aging of the body is associated with loss of moisture. When its content in cartilage decreases, it becomes less elastic and resilient, and therefore can no longer provide shock absorption during movement and smooth sliding of the bones of the joint relative to each other.
As a result, the risk of microtrauma to the joint increases not only with increased, but even with habitual load.
In addition, with age, the renewal of all tissues, including cartilage, slows down, but the process of cell destruction, on the contrary, is activated. This, even without additional risk factors, leads to accelerated wear of the cartilage.
Not only dynamic loads are dangerous for joints, when a person, for example, works a lot physically, but also static ones, when he stays in one position for a long time.
Therefore, those who sit in an office chair most of the day and move little in their leisure time suffer from arthrosis quite often.
This is due to a decrease in blood supply to the joint, which in this case is practically inactive.
Without receiving enough nutrients, intra-articular cartilage recovers more slowly.
Fractures, dislocations, as well as ruptures or tears of the meniscus, and sprained tendons can subsequently lead to arthrosis.
Moreover, it can develop either almost immediately after the injury or years later. In some cases, the cause of this is direct damage to the intra-articular cartilage, against the background of which the metabolism in its tissue may change.
In others, long-term use of plaster or orthoses that deprive the joint of movement. Without working as nature intended, it does not receive proper nutrition, and this also leads to premature wear of the cartilage.
The characteristics of metabolism and the strength of cartilage tissue are determined genetically. But there is no evidence that the predisposition to arthrosis is hereditary. The only exception is arthrosis of the joints of the hands.
The tendency towards it is passed down through the female line, from mother to daughter. By the way, women suffer from this type of arthrosis 10 times more often than men.
1. We can’t do anything about age and heredity, but the influence of other “threats” can be reduced. Follow safety precautions when working and playing sports to avoid injury.
Be physically active, but don't overdo it. Eat a healthy diet to avoid gaining weight.
2. If you experience joint discomfort, be sure to consult a doctor - this will prevent the progression of arthrosis.
The deterioration of cartilage tissue is irreversible: there is no treatment method that would restore it to its original healthy level. However, the destruction of the joint can be stopped - for this, drugs from the group of chondroprotectors are used. They contain the substance chondroitin sulfate, which suppresses the activity of enzymes that contribute to the destruction of cartilage, and also participates in the construction of cartilage tissue. Another substance included in chondroprotectors (both alone and in combination with chondroitin sulfate) is called glucosamine.
It stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid, which is responsible for the hydration of cartilage, reduces pain and improves joint function.
3. Treatment with chondroprotectors is most effective at the first and second stages of arthrosis, but these drugs are also used at the third stage. But on the fourth, when the cartilage is practically destroyed, the only way out is endoprosthetics - replacing the joint with an artificial one.
This intervention has a number of contraindications and side effects. Therefore, it is better not to bring the joints to such a state and start treatment on time.
Arthrosis is destructive processes in the joints, which are united by a common feature - depletion of articular cartilage. Unlike arthritis, these diseases can develop without inflammation.
In our clinic, treatment of arthrosis gives positive results in more than 90-95% of cases. We are talking about stages 1-3 of the disease. At the last, 4th stage, surgery is required. Our techniques help speed up recovery after prosthetics and make it more comfortable.
Arthrosis in Eastern medicine
In Eastern medicine, all joint diseases are considered signs of a disorder in the body's basic system, which is called Bad Kan (Tib.) or Kapha (Ayurved). Diseases of this system have the greatest depth, so they are difficult to cure. However, the practice of our clinic shows that they are completely curable. But on one condition! It is necessary to influence the cause of the disease, and not just its symptoms.
Arthrosis is associated with fluid and hormones
The Bad Kan system is called basic because it creates the foundation of the entire organism. In particular, it is responsible for all fluids and hormonal regulation. Fluids also include synovial lubricant. It is located in the joint cavity and ensures unhindered gliding. If it is not enough, the cartilage surfaces begin to rub against each other. This leads to their destruction and the development of arthrosis.
The hormonal factor plays an important role in this, since any disorder of the Bad-kan system affects all its components. Therefore, when treating arthrosis, we take measures to restore the hormonal balance of the body.
Metabolism is the basis of the Bad-kan system. Its disruption, both general and local, in the joint is the direct cause of arthrosis. A general disorder means a slowdown in metabolism and the accumulation of “cold” in the body. All arthrosis is treated as a “cold” disease.
Local disruption is a slowdown in the process of cartilage renewal. The reasons for this may be different, but most often - impaired blood supply and decreased collagen synthesis. As a result, articular cartilage wears out faster than it can be restored. Arthrosis develops.
The liver and kidneys also need to be treated.
Collagen is required for normal renewal of articular cartilage. This complex protein compound is the main material of connective tissues. The liver plays an important role in its synthesis. Liver sluggishness does not only lead to the accumulation of “coldness”. It directly affects joints that do not receive enough collagen.
The health of the knee, ankle, hip and other joints of the legs depends on the functioning of the kidneys. This paired organ controls the movement of blood in the legs and pelvic area. With kidney problems, blood flow is disrupted, and congestion provokes the development of arthrosis.
There is only one way to cure arthrosis - to activate the natural restoration of joints. No medications will help with this, so they are not used in our clinic.
We use complex treatment with herbal medicine and oriental procedures. They not only improve the condition, but provide lasting and long-lasting results and stop the destruction of joints.
(pain relief, comprehensive diagnostics)
To heal joints, it is necessary to eliminate the cause of the imbalance in the Bad Kan system. The consultant doctor at our clinic determines it using three main methods of oriental diagnostics. The first is a detailed interview with the patient.
Poor nutrition, exposure to cold, dampness and lack of physical activity are the most common causes of imbalance in the Bad Kan system. The doctor can judge the degree of this imbalance based on external examination data - skin, mucous surfaces, tongue. Consecutive pressing on the “signal” bioactive points provides information about the functioning of the digestive system.
The third stage is to examine the pulse on the patient’s wrists. By feeling the pulse at 6 points, the doctor receives information about the functioning of the internal organs. This is basic information that is supplemented by hardware diagnostics. For arthrosis, this is usually an MRI.
In the images obtained using magnetic resonance imaging, the doctor sees not only the degree of narrowing of the joint space, but also the condition of the articular cartilage, soft tissues, blood vessels, joint capsule, nerves, and ligaments. This gives a complete picture of the disease.
If the patient comes with severe inflammation and pain, the doctor alleviates these symptoms. Nonsteroidal or hormonal agents are not used. Acupuncture gives a much better effect. Additionally, massage and manual therapy of the joint can be used. These methods help relieve the sore joint. Pain relief is also necessary to reduce muscle tension and relieve spasm around the joint.
(elimination of the causes of joint destruction)
For arthrosis, the doctor warms up the joint area along the bioactive points with a wormwood cigar. Another method of warming up is to point several cones of slowly burning wormwood or coal. These methods give a good effect of improving metabolic processes. Warming up each point is usually performed for 1-2 minutes (up to 4-5 minutes). There is no burn left after it, only slight redness of the skin.
Next, the doctor warms up distant points on the meridians of the body. This has the overall effect of improving metabolism. Moxibustion therapy has a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive system, liver, and kidneys. But the main result of the procedure is the activation of restoration processes and the body’s defenses. The total duration of the session is 20-40 minutes.
Acupuncture for arthrosis relieves joint pain. This procedure reduces inflammation. The insertion of needles does not cause any pain or discomfort. After insertion, the needles are left in place for 20-40 minutes. Impact on bioactive points of the liver increases collagen production, and impact on the kidneys improves blood movement in the legs and blood supply to the joints.
Manual therapy and massage for arthrosis facilitate joint movements, reduce stress and improve blood flow to the joint. Movement in a joint with arthrosis is necessary so that it is properly supplied with blood. This is also necessary so that the healing components of herbal medicines are actively supplied to the joint.
For arthrosis, Tibetan herbal remedies are prescribed. They contain a complex of bioactive substances of natural origin. Some of them have a chondroprotective effect - they protect cartilage tissue from destruction and help their restoration. Others increase the level of heat in the body, eliminate inflammation, activate tissue renewal processes, and improve the properties of synovial fluid.
The use of medicinal leeches combines procedural and biochemical effects. This method is called hirudotherapy. Bioactive substances of leeches provide a restorative effect, improve blood flow and circulation, and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Leeches are used near the diseased joint.
Along with oriental methods, a comprehensive session may include shock wave therapy. This procedure “accelerates” the blood in the joint area and enhances its nutrition. An additional therapeutic effect is achieved with the help of mud applications and kinesiology.
The duration of a treatment session is on average 1.5 hours. The course of treatment is from 10 to 15 treatment sessions with an interval of 1 day. The results of arthrosis treatment are assessed using a control MRI image. It shows widening of the joint space, increase in volume, thickness and restoration of the integral structure of the articular cartilage. This means that the destruction of the joint has stopped and its restoration has begun.
After completing the course of treatment, patients at our clinic note the following results:
increasing the volume of flexion-extension and rotational movements, improving joint mobility,
reduction or disappearance of joint pain.
Complex treatment prevents complications and the transition of arthrosis to a more severe stage. In most cases, it is possible to reduce the degree of arthrosis (from 2 to 1 or from 3 to 2). Restoring the normal, balanced state of the Bad-kan system improves the health of the body as a whole. The symptoms of concomitant metabolic disorders, excess weight, immune disorders, allergies, bronchopulmonary chronic diseases, and endocrine disorders are reduced.
These results do not disappear after completing the course of treatment, but persist for a long time or forever (subject to the doctor's recommendations).
A 49-year-old woman came to our clinic for help with a complaint of severe pain that she felt in her knees. The pain intensified in damp weather, when walking (especially on stairs). Crunching and creaking in the joint indicated arthrosis. After conducting an examination, the doctor determined sluggish liver function, increased body mass index (89 kg with a height of 169 cm), slow metabolism, and chronic bronchitis. MRI of the joints showed destruction of cartilage tissue and narrowing of the joint spaces of the 2nd degree of arthrosis.
After a course of treatment (3 herbal remedies, 14 complex sessions), MRI showed an increase in the joint space and restoration of the articular cartilage to the 1st degree of arthrosis. The pain in the knee joints has gone. The stiffness in my knees has disappeared. Weight decreased by 8 kg, chronic bronchitis went away.
1. What exercises are good for joints?
Joints need movement. Shock loads are harmful for them - running, jumping, skiing. Swimming and walking, on the contrary, are beneficial. The best option is physical therapy. Your attending physician will create an individual course of exercises for you. Their daily implementation will not take much time and will serve as a good prevention of arthrosis.
2. What is better for joints, heat or cold?
For arthrosis, heat is beneficial, but for arthritis it is contraindicated. Exposure to cold aggravates Bad-kan diseases, so cooling is contraindicated for joint diseases. Heat treatment should be carried out by a doctor. Only in this case will it be beneficial and guaranteed to be safe.
3. What traditional medicine helps best with arthrosis?
In folk medicine for arthrosis, warm compresses, rubbing, hot baths and herbal mixtures are used. The capabilities of each of these methods are limited. They can temporarily alleviate the condition, but do not affect the cause of the disease. Therefore, they cannot replace treatment.
What is arthrosis of the hip joint
Synonyms: coxarthrosis, deforming arthrosis of the hip joint, osteoarthritis of the hip joint.
Osteoarthritis of the hip joint is a concept that includes all degenerative diseases of the hip joint. arising for various reasons (joint dysplasia, joint injury, diseases associated with metabolic disorders, some infectious diseases, overload, exposure to toxic substances and radiation, etc.) characterized by a common progressive course, destruction of articular cartilage, pain syndrome and dysfunction of the joint .
Since hip dysplasia is more common in women, and also due to the greater resistance of cartilage to stress in men, women suffer from arthrosis of the hip joint more often than men. The risk of developing coxarthrosis increases with age. Thus, in 70-80% of people aged 70 years, signs of arthrosis are detected.
Causes of development of arthrosis of the hip joint
A significant risk factor for the occurrence or acceleration of arthrosis of the hip joint is excess weight (obesity).
In cases where the cause of the development of arthrosis of the hip joint is not known, they speak of primary or idiopathic coxarthrosis. Primary arthrosis of the hip joint (coxarthrosis) usually develops in older age, on average after 50-60 years, and is often bilateral.
In cases where the cause of the disease is known, we speak of secondary arthrosis of the hip joint. This type of coxarthrosis is more common at a younger age and is usually unilateral. In most cases, the cause of coxarthrosis is unknown.
There are various reasons for the development of arthrosis of the hip joint:
Symptoms of arthrosis of the hip joint
The main symptom of arthrosis of the hip joint is pain in the area of this joint when walking. Coxarthrosis is a chronic disease that develops over several years. Like any chronic disease, arthrosis of the hip joint develops with periods of exacerbation, when the pain syndrome increases sharply - activation of arthrosis and remission.
The pain is associated with mechanical overload - walking. It often appears in the morning (after sleep) or after a long period of sitting, these are the so-called “ starting pains ”. The pain disappears after short movements, such as walking.
Usually the pain is localized in the groin area, or along the outer thigh (trochanteric region), in the buttocks, along the front surface of the thigh with radiation to the knee. Depending on the intensity of the pain syndrome, restriction of movements in the joint is formed. It is worth noting that restriction of movement is initially associated with painful muscle tension, and subsequently with contraction of the joint capsule.
Due to the development of pain, a gait disturbance is formed - as a rule, the patient avoids painful movements. Subsequent development of arthrosis of the hip joint leads to more severe disorders . formation of persistent contractures, shortening of the limb.
Diagnosis of arthrosis of the hip joint
Clinical diagnosis of hip arthrosis includes:
Instrumental arthrosis of the hip joint diagnosis:
Clinical and laboratory tests for differential diagnosis of arthrosis of the hip joint:
If there are medical indications and there are referral quotas, our center performs operations using funds allocated under the program for the provision of high-tech medical care (HTMC)
Treatment of arthrosis of the hip joint
The overall goal of treating hip osteoarthritis is to reduce pain . maintaining or improving mobility in the joint, slowing the progression of arthrosis and improving the “ quality of life ” of the patient. The main thing in treatment in the early stages of the disease is to eliminate the so-called “ risk factors ”. For example, unilateral violation of the axis of the lower limb, excess weight or metabolic disorders.
Requires the patient to change lifestyle and habits. The most commonly used medications for the treatment of arthrosis of the hip joint are:
Physiotherapeutic treatment of arthrosis of the hip joint is currently very diverse and includes:
Use of orthopedic structures:
Surgical treatment for arthrosis of the hip joint is used when conservative treatment is ineffective in advanced stages of the disease. Among the surgical methods for treating arthrosis of the hip joint, depending on the etiology, clinical and radiological picture, and other factors, the following are used:

prospects for the treatment of coxarthrosis
There are many “promoted” and advertised methods of treating coxarthrosis . Total advertising offers a lot of miraculous remedies that guarantee healing. Please, just pay, and you will be healthy tomorrow! Unfortunately, most often such advertising solicitations are a hoax. There are not many treatment methods that really help with coxarthrosis. And we will look at most of them in this book. But you need to understand that it is unrealistic to cure coxarthrosis in any one way, even the best one. The disease should be treated comprehensively.
Is it even possible to overcome coxarthrosis without surgery? Official medicine says unequivocally - no. Charlatans also say unequivocally - yes, it is possible. The truth, as always, is in the middle.
I assert with absolute confidence that using a set of measures, it is possible to cure coxarthrosis of the first stage . Of course, this is not easy and requires significant joint efforts between the doctor and the patient, but it is possible.
It is more difficult to answer the question about the treatment of coxarthrosis of the second stage . Of course, it is impossible to completely cure it, because with arthrosis of the second stage, not only the cartilage of the joint is damaged, but also its bones - they are noticeably deformed. And it is clear that it is almost impossible to return deformed bones to their former shape.
But on the other hand, it is possible to significantly improve the condition of the patient’s joints by increasing the nutrition of cartilage tissue using special methods, improving blood circulation in the joint and spreading the articular ends of the bones apart, that is, expanding the joint space. This is entirely within our power.
And although we will not be able to return the diseased joint to its original shape and ensure ideal sliding of the cartilage surfaces, we can at least make sure that the pain decreases and the mobility of the joint improves. It becomes possible to postpone the operation indefinitely, or even avoid it altogether. But I repeat that this will only happen if the patient himself is very, very determined: he is ready to do special gymnastics and do not forget to undergo a course of maintenance treatment every six months.
A case from the practice of Dr. Evdokimenko. I have already described this case several times in my books as a very illustrative example. About ten years ago, a forty-five-year-old man, a professional tennis player, now working as a player coach, came to see me. He entered the office, limping heavily and with difficulty shifting from one foot to the other.
Based on the characteristic gait, I immediately suspected bilateral arthrosis of the hip joints, which was confirmed by examination, and later by x-ray. Before our meeting, the man had been ill for four years, but all these years, unfortunately, he was mistakenly treated for a non-existent herniated intervertebral disc (doctors thought that the pain in his legs was a consequence of spinal damage). For four years, the destruction of the hip joints came to an extreme point. Arthrosis of the right one has reached the second stage, and the left one has passed it. Typically, such an intermediate option is designated as stage II-III.
Having analyzed everything thoroughly, I told the patient that the best way out of the situation would be surgery. But, having learned that after the operation he would no longer be able to play tennis professionally or actively train, the man categorically refused to undergo surgery. However, he was ready to make any sacrifices and any work in order to avoid surgery and continue to do the work he loved.
Faced with such determination from the patient, I agreed to take on an almost hopeless task, as it seemed to me then - to treat such advanced coxarthrosis. We selected special therapeutic exercises for the patient and planned the treatment for the years ahead. Since then, he visits my office every three months, and we conduct 3-4 treatment sessions; Every six months, the patient undergoes a course of drug therapy - he takes medications to nourish the articular cartilage - and every other day he does gymnastics for 40 minutes.
And you know what's surprising? 15 years have passed since the beginning of our joint work, and the condition of the patient’s joints not only did not worsen, but improved significantly - contrary to the classical schemes, according to which in 15 years he should have completely become disabled.
Instead, the man continues to confidently play tennis, although with coxarthrosis this sport is absolutely contraindicated - they think so, and they think so correctly, because jumping and jerking worsen the condition of the hip joints. Even more surprising is that, despite constant tennis training, my patient’s pain practically disappeared, and movement in the right hip joint was almost completely restored, and in the left the range of movement increased significantly. That is, now the man feels like an almost complete person physically.
Coxarthrosis - symptoms, degrees, treatment
With coxarthrosis of the third stage, the situation is much more complicated. As already mentioned, in the third stage of arthrosis, only a minimal thinned layer of inferior cartilage tissue remains in the hip joint, and the articular area of the femoral head is severely deformed.
Most doctors in such a situation will tell the patient (and most likely they will be right) that there is only one way out - surgery. And only 10-20% of patients, endowed with enormous willpower and perseverance, who really want to prevent surgical intervention in their body, will be able, with great effort, to avoid surgery on the joint.
Of course, they are unlikely to be able to cure their badly damaged joint. But such stubborn patients can, with the help of gymnastics, some types of physical therapy and medications to strengthen bones, stabilize the condition of the diseased joint and reduce pain. Simply put, the condition of the joint itself will remain almost the same, but the condition of the bones, blood vessels and muscles surrounding the diseased joint will improve. Due to this, the load on the affected areas of the joint will decrease, and the pain will cease to intensify, or even weaken altogether.
As a result, a person who, for some reason, categorically does not want or cannot agree to surgery (say, because of age or because of the poor condition of the heart and blood vessels) will have the opportunity to at least sleep and sit normally, free from unbearable “pain.” peace." And even if he cannot live and move perfectly as before, he will most likely be able to walk short distances: albeit a little, even with the help of a stick or cane, but walk.
A case from the practice of Dr. Evdokimenko. Patient Sergei Vasilievich came to me for a consultation from a small Kuban town. Just by the way Sergei Vasilyevich, with a characteristic limp, entered the office, it became clear that he had severely advanced coxarthrosis. And so it turned out: on the x-rays it was clearly visible that the arthritic destruction of Sergei Vasilyevich’s hip joint had already reached stages III-IV. That is, treating him with therapeutic methods, in my opinion, made no sense.
I was forced to tell Sergei Vasilievich that the best solution in his case would be joint replacement surgery. However, Sergei Vasilyevich explained to me that even if I did not prescribe any treatment, he still would not perform the operation. Firstly, because endoprosthetics are too expensive, and he does not have that kind of money. Secondly, in their regional hospital such operations began to be performed only recently, the technologies have not been developed, and complications occur quite often. And most importantly, as Sergei Vasilyevich put it, “he doesn’t want to walk with a piece of iron in his leg.”
After it became clear that I would not be able to convince the patient, I offered him the only alternative “half-option”. I recommended that the man use a cane when walking and advised him to properly “pump up” the muscles of his sore leg with gymnastics in order to relieve the load on the damaged joint. He also prescribed special bone-strengthening medications to stop further destruction of not even the joint, but at least the bones surrounding it. In addition, “bone-strengthening” drugs were supposed to reduce bone pain, which often accompanies advanced arthrosis. But I did not prescribe drugs to restore joint cartilage to the patient, realizing that it was too late to save the joint cartilage.
I explained all this to Sergei Vasilevich. And he honestly admitted that he has little faith in the effectiveness of therapy at this stage of arthrosis, and I prescribe treatment solely in order to somehow make his life easier. With that we parted. I was almost sure that there would be little benefit from the proposed events. But Sergei Vasilyevich was able to surprise me. He came to see me again a year later and told me that he had been treated with drugs to strengthen bones, and most importantly, he did gymnastics every day, “without absenteeism,” for an hour a day.
And now he feels better not by 10-20%, as I predicted, but by 70-80%. The “rest pain” went away completely, and when walking the pain decreased greatly. Moreover, Sergei Vasilyevich was able to reduce even these decreased pains even more by placing a thick insole under the sore shortened leg while walking and using a comfortable cane when walking.
Naturally, Sergei Vasilyevich did not grow a new joint during this time, nor did his cartilage recover. There is still virtually no mobility in the hip joint. He still has difficulty putting on socks and tying his shoes. But at least he lives practically pain-free, goes to work and takes care of his garden again. At the same time, the main effect, according to Sergei Vasilyevich, was achieved through gymnastics. And therefore the man is not going to “slow down”. He is confident that with the help of our exercises he will be able to strengthen his leg so that it will withstand even more severe loads.
To be fair, it should be noted that the example of Sergei Vasilyevich is largely an exception to the rule, although far from the only one. The exception, of course, is with a plus sign. But there are exceptions with a minus sign. For example, there have been many cases when a patient came to an appointment with a seemingly mild stage of arthrosis. And I, naturally, hoped to achieve good results in the process of his treatment. But the result in the end turned out to be worse than expected.
This usually happened in cases where the development of coxarthrosis was accompanied by some aggravating circumstances, but more often in cases where the patient either did not punctually carry out the prescribed treatment, or “scraped” during gymnastics or did it incorrectly (for example, too sharply, energetically ). Thus, the reality of recovery or improvement in well-being largely depends on the punctuality and perseverance of the patient himself. Good results in the treatment of arthrosis can be achieved only with those patients who, from the very beginning, are committed to serious independent work and strive with all their might to avoid surgery.
You may ask: is it worth making such efforts to do without surgery? Undergo treatment twice a year, do special gymnastics. Isn’t it better to suffer once (that is, to have an operation), and then live a normal, carefree life? Well, let's think together and now talk about joint replacement surgery:
Surgical treatment of arthrosis of the hip joint

All articles by Dr. Evdokimenko
Osteoarthrosis, arthrosis deformans - these are all variations of the name coxarthrosis of the hip joint, which is a pathological disease of the hip joints, characterized by their destruction.
Coxarthrosis is a fairly common disease that occurs most often in middle-aged and elderly people as a degenerative-dystrophic pathology of the hip joint.
At the onset of the disease, the supply of cartilage weakens due to disturbances in the properties of the joint fluid. Due to lack of nourishment, the joint begins to become thinner, unable to withstand friction during movement. The distance between the bones begins to decrease, eventually it disappears completely, and all the pressure falls on the bones themselves, resulting in deformation.
There are two types of coxarthrosis:
Primary coxarthrosis appears most often in older people and for no specific reason. The reason for this is that the joints begin to deteriorate due to old age. With primary coxarthrosis, doctors also often diagnose damage to the knee joint (gonarthrosis), as well as damage to the spine (osteochondrosis).
Secondary coxarthrosis can occur as a result of a number of diseases or injuries.
Types of coxarthrosis vary depending on the location of the degenerative processes of the joint:
The causes of coxarthrosis can be identified as follows:
People whose activities involve constant walking, running or professional sports are more likely than others to experience joint problems due to increased stress on the joints.
Damaged joints can cause cartilage atrophy and contribute to bone deformation, which can subsequently lead to the development of coxarthrosis.
The risk of coxarthrosis increases in people with congenital abnormalities of the joints, as well as hereditary diseases that affect metabolism, the density of cartilage tissue, fragility of skeletal bones, etc.
Infectious diseases and inflammatory processes affecting the density of bones and cartilage, atrophy of muscles and ligaments, metabolic disorders, hormonal disorders, etc. (osteoporosis, osteochondrosis, arthritis, diabetes mellitus, Perthes disease).
Also, at present, one of the predisposing factors for the development of coxarthrosis is prolonged stress. Against the background of stress, the level of corticosteroids in the blood significantly increases, which reduce the biosynthesis of the natural “lubricant” of the joints - hyaluronic acid. With its deficiency, the cartilage becomes thinner and cracks, which leads to degenerative changes in the joint.
Depending on the stage of development of the disease, there are three degrees of development of coxarthrosis, each of which is characterized by its own symptoms:
Patients complain of periodic pain in the hip joint and thigh, which can sometimes radiate to the knee. Pain in the hip joint occurs during walking and other physical activities, but subsides after rest. The joint is mobile, there are no gait disturbances, and therefore patients often do not attach much importance to the existing symptoms.
The pain does not subside even at rest. The pain radiates to the knee and groin area. The pain does not improve after physical activity, and after prolonged physical exertion, such as running or even just walking, the person begins to limp. The mobility of the joint is limited, the muscle strength of the limb weakens.
Constant severe pain in the joint and lower limb, which does not subside even at night, causing patients to complain of sleep disturbances. The joint is practically immobile, atrophy of the muscles of the thigh, lower leg, and buttocks is observed, which leads to displacement of the pelvis and shortening of the diseased limb, which is why patients begin to limp and are forced to use a cane while walking.
Most often, people come to us already at the second and third stages of the disease, preferring to dull the pain with analgesics and self-medicate, which is fundamentally wrong. After all, the disease is much easier and faster to cure at an early stage of development.
Treatment of coxarthrosis cannot be delayed, because in the early stages of the disease its further development can be prevented by restoring cartilage tissue.
This is only possible with the help of full-fledged work on the nearby muscles and ligaments, which provide the cartilage with the necessary microelements.
Treatment of coxarthrosis without surgery is possible! Our method helps in recovery after operations and severe injuries, and it also helps to get rid of coxarthrosis in the early stages.
The course of treatment consists of several stages:
Each patient undergoes a consultation with our doctor. During the consultation, the doctor conducts a clinical examination and muscular-articular diagnostics, identifies problem areas and causes of pain, and also answers the patient’s questions and issues a conclusion and recommendations.
Reception is carried out by highly qualified specialists:
• doctor of exercise therapy and sports medicine;
2. Drawing up an individual program.
After the consultation, the doctor selects the optimal method of recovery and writes an individual program for the patient based on the data obtained during the examination. Treatment of coxarthrosis is carried out under constant supervision by a doctor and certified instructors, so the treatment program can be adjusted during the treatment of coxarthrosis.
3. Exercises using rehabilitation equipment.
A special set of health-improving exercises has been developed, with the help of which:
— biochemical processes are normalized, nutrition in the joint and surrounding ligaments and muscles improves;
- increased blood flow to the sore spot;
— the proliferation of osteophytes and the development of contracture in the joint are prevented;
— damaged muscles and periarticular structures are restored in the postoperative period;
- motor function of the joint is restored;
- nearby tissues become healthier.
By performing certain exercises on specialized decompression equipment, the patient (using solely his own strength) gets rid of excruciating pain and restores his motor functions.
The Healthy Back clinics successfully use programs for drug-free treatment of coxarthrosis.
After a therapeutic course of classes, our patients forget what numbness of the limbs, pain and spasms are like! Many years of experience proves that if the patient has coxarthrosis, this type of treatment gives a long-term positive result.
