Arthrosis is accompanied by degenerative changes in the tissues of the joint. This leads to deformation of the joint and disruption of its functions. Therefore, treatment of arthrosis should be aimed at maximizing the restoration of the original structure of the joint and normalizing its activity.
Complex treatment of joint arthrosis, like any other negative process, has 3 main goals:
Based on this, the main areas of treatment include:
For this purpose, the following methods of treating arthrosis are used:
The choice of one or another treatment method for arthrosis depends on the stage and severity of the process. It should be noted that degenerative changes in arthrosis are irreversible. And the main goal of treatment is to preserve the structure and function of the joint and prevent complications.
Perhaps this is the most widely used treatment method, during which drugs of various groups are used. Anti-inflammatory drugs, both steroidal (Dexamethasone, Diprospan) and non-steroidal (Diclak, Voltaren, Indomethacin) effectively eliminate inflammation and pain in arthrosis. A steroidal anti-inflammatory drug is injected into the joint cavity, where it exerts its effect at the local level, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used in combination in the form of tablets, ointments, and injections.
Chondroitin is a biopolymer that is part of cartilage and joint fluid. The most important component of chondroitin is glucosamine. These two substances, glucosamine and chondroitin, are included in many medications and dietary supplements used for arthrosis.
However, anti-inflammatory drugs do not play a major role in arthrosis. The best medicines for this disease are chondroprotectors. After all, they are the ones who restore cartilage tissue damaged during arthrosis. This is a fairly extensive group of drugs, the main forms of release are ointment (Chondroitin, Chondroxide, Chondroflex) or tablets (Sruktum, Chondroitin Complex, Artron Chondrex). To achieve the desired effect, these drugs must be taken in a continuous course for 2 months or more.
Nowadays, qualitatively new varieties of chondroprotectors have appeared, made on the basis of hyaluronic acid, which is part of connective cartilage tissue and intra-articular fluid. These are Synvisk, Fermatron, Ostenil. Injections of these medications are given directly into the joint cavity. The course of treatment contains from 3 to 5 injections. Then a year later it is repeated again.
This is what a puncture of the knee joint and intra-articular injection of medication looks like
In order to restore cartilage, in addition to chondroprotectors, complexes of vitamins D, A, C, group B and minerals - calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, chromium - can be used. Strengthening blood microcirculation in the tissues of the body also helps improve metabolism at the local level. For these reasons, Pentoxifylline and Trental are administered intravenously.
Treatment of arthrosis with folk remedies involves the use of natural products of natural plant or animal origin through locally applied ointments and rubs.
Below are ways to use these products:
It should be noted that traditional medicine mainly eliminates the symptoms of pain and inflammation, but has virtually no effect on the restoration of joint tissue. Therefore, traditional medicine for arthrosis cannot be considered as a self-sufficient treatment method.
During physiotherapeutic procedures, inflammation in the joint is eliminated, local metabolic processes are accelerated, and the strength of the joint tissue and its elastic properties are increased. For this purpose, magnetic therapy, UHF, paraffin, and ozokerite are indicated.
Recently, qualitatively new hardware techniques have been developed, through which arthrosis is treated with laser or ultrasound. The effect in these cases is more pronounced and occurs faster. In addition, portable devices have recently appeared, thanks to which ultrasound and laser therapy sessions can be carried out at home. To do this, it is enough to fix the device on the problem joint for 15-20 minutes. However, this treatment method may have contraindications, and therefore, before using the device, you should definitely consult with a physical therapy specialist.
Physical therapy is designed to stabilize the joint, strengthen nearby muscles and increase range of motion. Considering that arthrosis most often affects the hip and knee joints, recreational gymnastics is designed to involve the lower extremities. This plan shows leisurely walking, static loads with lifting, bending and spreading the lower limbs in a lying position.
Impact on various muscle groups in arthrosis. Types and sequence of exercises
Swimming pool exercises have a positive effect on arthrosis. At the same time, running, cycling, sports games, dancing and other intense activities that lead to pain are contraindicated for arthrosis.
All of the above conservative methods are not effective in advanced stages of arthrosis, when the articular cartilage and underlying bone are almost completely destroyed.
As a rule, this is observed in large joints - the knee and hip. In these cases, the problem is solved surgically - the destroyed joint is replaced with an endoprosthesis. In the recovery period after surgery or a course of conservative therapy, recovery at climatic or mud resorts is indicated. Sanatorium treatment should be combined with proper nutrition, excluding fats, easily digestible carbohydrates, sugars and other foods that contribute to weight gain.

Protocols for the treatment of arthritis, arthrosis
The purpose of the stage: clinical recovery, improvement of general condition, reduction of pain and restoration of movement in the joints.
Duration of treatment: 7-10 days (depending on the activity of the process).
M05 - M14 - inflammatory polyarthropathy (RA, gout, etc.)
Definition: Arthropathy is a secondary damage to the joints against the background of various pathological processes. It can be either inflammatory (arthritis) or degenerative-dystrophic (arthrosis).
3. Acute, often recurrent reactive polyarthritis (for nonspecific infections - streptococcal, yersinia, chlamydial, etc.).
5. Inflammatory-degenerative lesions of joint structures - microcrystal deposits (exchange microcrystalline arthropathy).
2. Excessive load on the joints (microtraumatization), heavy physical labor.
3. Genetic predisposition, especially among blood relatives.
- articular manifestations (pain in the joint at rest and during movement, swelling, deformity);
- extra-articular lesions: fever, asthenia, intoxication, ring erythema, subcutaneous rheumatic nodules, etc.
List of main diagnostic measures:
1. Anamnesis collection (presence of risk factors in the anamnesis).
2. Objective examination (patient’s condition, degree of activity of the process, course, etc.).
List of additional diagnostic measures:
1. X-ray of the affected joints.
Eating a balanced diet that includes foods high in polyunsaturated fatty acids such as fish oil, calcium and vitamins, especially vitamin D (reduces the risk of osteoporosis) and folic acid (reduces serum homocysteine levels).
Maintaining ideal body weight.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory derivatives of propionic acid: ibuprofen in tablets 200 mg, 400 mg - 2-3 times a day or in courses of 2-3 weeks, 1 tablet at night.
Local treatment: ointments and gels for external use indomethacin, diclofenac, chondroitin sulfate, Chondroxide ointment 3-4 times a day on the affected joints.
List of essential medications:
2. Indomethacin ointment.
3. Diclofenac, ointment.
4. Chondroitin sulfate, ointment.
Criteria for transfer to the next stage of treatment.
Transfer to the inpatient stage of treatment: in case of severe joint inflammation, recurrent course, development of complications, need for endoprosthetics of the joint (joints).
Unloading the joint is achieved by maintaining bed rest, creating support during movement (using a cane or crutches), temporarily immobilizing the limb and limiting physical activity on it.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed internally and externally in the form of applications as painkillers. When inflammation develops, glucocorticoids are additionally prescribed, which have a strong anti-inflammatory and anesthetic effect. For persistent and severe pain, especially associated with radicular syndrome, joint blockades with anesthetics are performed.
To maintain joint rest, muscle relaxants are prescribed - muscle relaxants. surrounding the joint.
Chondroprotectors - substances capable of restoring the structure of cartilage - can slow down the development of the pathological process, prolong the functional activity of the joint and prevent or delay surgical intervention. Medicines are taken both inside the body and injected directly into the joint cavity.
Physiotherapeutic techniques (ultrasound, DDT, amplipulse, acupuncture) are used to normalize blood circulation in the joint area, improve its nutrition, increase its functionality of the bone joint, and to combat muscle atrophy.
Sanatorium-resort treatment includes the use of climatic natural factors in combination with mud therapy, treatment with hydrogen sulfide and radon baths and hydromassage.
Physical therapy is indicated at all stages of arthrosis development and involves performing exercises without pain and with a gradual increase in load. Physical activity strengthens the muscular corset of the joints and spine. corrects the position of the limbs and pelvis, improves posture. Additional activities have a beneficial effect: massage, traction, swimming and manual therapy.
In case of ineffectiveness of conservative therapy and severe, disabling, damage to the knee and hip joints, surgical treatment methods are used - arthroscopic operations, osteotomy (removal of bone growths) and total replacement of joints with endoprostheses. Techniques such as cartilage transplantation, cell therapy and others are being actively developed.
For arthrosis of the intervertebral joints, an operation is performed to install an interspinous spacer (distractor), which unloads the joints and expands the spinal canal and intervertebral foramina through which the nerve roots emerge.

Arthritis is inflammation of a joint. If several joints are inflamed, the disease is called polyarthritis . Arthritis occurs for a variety of reasons - physical overexertion, hypothermia, injuries. Arthritis can be caused by various infectious diseases that have nothing directly to do with the joints - for example, intestinal infections or inflammation of the bladder or kidneys. In this case, the disease is called reactive arthritis. Very often the cause of arthritis is rheumatism. Arthritis usually causes swelling and pain in the affected joints. In the initial stages of the disease, pain occurs only in certain situations - during movement, physical activity or at certain times of the day - for example, at night or in the morning. When arthritis becomes chronic, the pain can become constant, the inflamed joint turns red, swells, becomes deformed, its function is impaired, sometimes to the point of complete immobility.
Arthrosis is a chronic joint disease accompanied by changes in cartilage tissue. The more correct name for arthrosis is osteoarthritis . It is believed that with arthrosis, it is not inflammatory, but degenerative processes in the articular cartilage that prevail, the metabolism in the joint is disrupted, its elasticity is lost, the cartilage becomes thinner and therefore every movement causes pain. Due to pain, mobility in the joint is limited. Arthrosis is accompanied by inflammation of the tissues surrounding the joint, impaired blood supply and nutrient flow. Among the characteristic manifestations of arthrosis, it should be noted the occurrence of pain during physical activity and its subsidence at rest. Limitation of joint movement is also observed . crunching when moving, muscle tension in the area where the disease is located, progressive deformation of the joint, accompanied by the appearance of swelling. The most common are knee arthrosis (gonarthrosis) and hip arthrosis (coxarthrosis) . which is associated with a large load on these joints.
Treatment of arthritis and treatment of arthrosis using traditional medicine methods is currently very complex and ineffective.
In the treatment of arthritis and arthrosis, anti-inflammatory drugs are used - based on aspirin and its derivatives and painkillers. They are of little use to the joints, but they destroy the gastrointestinal tract very effectively and can cause bleeding.
In addition, various ointments are used - apizoron, butadione, voltaren, diclofenac - these are also anti-inflammatory drugs, but for external use. Therefore, they do much less harm than those taken in tablet form.
Metabolic disorders and salt deposition anti-gout drugs are used . allopurinol, allomaron, milurite.
Metabolic disorders in the joint lead to its demineralization - to restore the mineral composition of cartilage tissue, mineral preparations containing calcium are used - Vitrum, Centrum, Unicam.
Now let's look at why all this doesn't help.
Firstly, modern medicine does not even train specialists who would treat arthritis and arthrosis. There is no specialist in medicine who treats only joints - an arthrologist. Those. theoretically, such a specialist can be found in a directory, but practically, he does not exist. And who treats joints? - Yes, anyone. Surgeons, neurologists, orthopedists and rheumatologists also deal with joints. In general, everyone and no one.
Secondly, the treatment of arthrosis is based on completely incorrect premises. It is believed that degenerative disorders in the joint arise not due to inflammation, not due to an imbalance in the acid-base balance in the body, but due to... degenerative disorders. Those. For some reason, the nutrition and blood supply to the cartilage is disrupted, then the joint fluid disappears, the cartilage becomes thinner, and the bone is exposed.
Again, it is believed that all these processes are irreversible and therefore there is only one way out - endoprosthetics - i.e. replace your joint with an artificial one.
All these are misconceptions - that is why the treatment of arthrosis is currently so ineffective.
There are five prerequisites that I have developed for myself and which guide me in the treatment of arthritis and arthrosis:
Inflammation always accompanies both arthritis and arthrosis. Without relieving the inflammatory process, it is impossible to normalize the metabolism in the joint.
Pain in an arthritic joint is caused by spasmed muscles. They do not allow the joint freedom of movement, the ability for oxygen, nutrients and minerals, and even medications to penetrate to the cartilage. It's like a closed door - until the muscle spasm is relieved - medicines and minerals will remain behind the door.
In order to cure arthrosis, you need to wash the salts out of the joint .
In order to achieve a treatment effect that lasts for many years, it is necessary to normalize the acid-base balance. When the body is oxidized, if the acid-base balance is not restored, the body will again and again utilize the remaining acids in the form of salt deposits in the joints (see section “You are not sick - you are oxidized”)
All processes in the joint are partially or completely reversible - when inflammation in the joint, muscle spasm is removed and the acid-base balance is normalized, the joint begins to receive oxygen, nutrients and restore its mineral metabolism.
I know how to treat arthrosis. I say this with the pride of a doctor, through whose hands (literally) hundreds of patients with arthritis and arthrosis have passed (cured). The method of relieving muscle spasms is working with your hands on the points and giving energy, so probably a piece of my self remains in every patient with arthrosis who is cured.
I use two methods in the treatment of arthrosis:
The patient first uses an ionizer and a set of microelements to flush out salts from the joint, relieve inflammation, restore mineralization of the joint, and then, if the joint remains incompletely mobile, I conduct two or three sessions to relieve muscle spasms
Or first I release the muscles, and then the patient undergoes follow-up treatment with the help of a device and a set of minerals to wash out salts from the joint and mineralize the cartilage tissue.
Both the first and second treatment options are so effective that they are perceived as a miracle. How many patients came to see me on crutches or with a cane, with lengthy medical histories, with radiographs and the words: “Doctor, they told me, only surgery.”
And these same patients left after 2-3 sessions with radiant faces, WITHOUT CRUTCHES, sometimes even forgetting their plump forms on my table.
Watch the results of treating patients with arthritis and arthrosis in the videos below. Usually I see patients in Kyiv for 10 days every two months and during this time I manage to cure 6-7 patients. Not everyone can be filmed, but we try to show the dynamics of movement restoration in at least one or two patients from beginning to end. After each appointment, we put new videos on the site - come to Kyiv for treatment!

Results of treatment of arthrosis in Med. Center Aschbach February 2013
Methods for treating arthrosis and healing joints are varied. The traditional approach is to combine drug therapy with physiotherapeutic procedures; physical therapy and gymnastics are required. A significant role is given to massage, manual therapy, diet therapy, and sanatorium-resort treatment. Traditional medicine offers recipes for compresses, rubbing, wraps, decoctions and infusions for oral administration. There are other methods that still have experimental status. These include the method of Professor Neumyvakin. Cleansing the body and normalizing biochemical processes helps get rid of various ailments. In particular, Neumyvakin Ivan Pavlovich developed the treatment of joints.
Doctor of Medical Sciences and full member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences Ivan Neumyvakin is known as one of the founders of space medicine. According to Professor Neumyvakin, the treatment of most diseases does not require the use of synthetic drugs. Almost everyone can improve their own body health. Today, many of Dr. Neumyvakin’s achievements are used in the health centers he created - “Focuses of Health”, where one doctor and several nurses work. The treatment center using the Neumyvakin method simultaneously serves about 30 patients, their rehabilitation takes no more than 3 weeks.
The method of treating joints according to Neumyvakin can be used at home, its components:
Doctor Ivan Neumyvakin considers the body a complex bioenergetic system capable of self-regulation. In his opinion, the development of arthrosis is caused by:
There are different recipes that allow you to normalize metabolic processes, stimulate blood circulation and enrich tissues with oxygen. The most widely known is treatment with hydrogen peroxide using the method of Professor Neumyvakin.
Neumyvakin developed his treatment method based on the results of research by Charles Farr. Experiments confirm the beneficial effects of peroxide on the body, in particular on the joints.
Once in the body, the peroxide is broken down into water and atomic oxygen under the influence of the enzyme catalase. The latter is an important source of energy necessary for many processes occurring in the body. Thanks to active oxygen:
Professor Neumyvakin recommends treating joints with peroxide by combining different methods:
Oral administration should be carried out strictly according to the scheme, diluting peroxide in 2 tablespoons of water and gradually increasing the concentration. Drink the solution three times a day, half an hour before meals.
Intravenous drip administration of peroxide should be carried out by a qualified specialist. A peroxide solution with a reduced lead content is used (shelf life - 15 days). 3% peroxide is diluted with saline solution, start with 2 ml and bring to 10 ml of peroxide per 200 g of saline solution. For 1 week, droppers are given every other day, the next week - once every 3 days. Sometimes 3–5 procedures are enough for a course of treatment; in severe cases, 15–20 are required. In emergency situations, a peroxide solution (0.3–0.4 ml per 20 ml of saline) is slowly injected into a vein with a syringe over 2 minutes. For compresses, dilute 2 teaspoons of peroxide in 50 ml of water, moisten a cloth folded in 4 layers, apply it to the projection area of the joint and wrap it up. After an hour, remove the compress and lubricate the affected area with baby cream.
Enemas with peroxide can be done at home, but under the supervision of a physician. In this way, the body is cleansed of waste and toxins. An enema with peroxide is preceded by a cleansing enema, for which you can use clean water or water with salt, ascorbic acid, or apple cider vinegar. A ready-to-use peroxide solution (200 ml bottle) is heated in a bathhouse to body temperature and administered using a disposable system, removing the needle and lubricating the end of the tube with petroleum jelly. The solution is supplied at a rate of 60 drops per minute. Peroxide is used not only to treat joints, but also for rinsing the nose, ears, gargling, mouth, and treating the skin.
When starting treatment with hydrogen peroxide, you need to consider a number of points:
If oral administration of peroxide causes stomach discomfort or other unpleasant sensations, you should limit the single dose to 3-5 drops. The appearance of skin rashes indicates the body is being cleansed of toxins and does not require discontinuation of treatment. An increase in temperature after intravenous administration is also normal.
According to Dr. Neumyvakin, treatment with peroxide should be combined with diet correction. It is necessary to adhere to a plant-based diet, eliminate spicy seasonings, limit salt intake, and give up alcohol and smoking. Academician Neumyvakin recommends starting the treatment of joints in the knees, hips, and other large and small joints by cleansing them with a decoction of bay leaves. 4–6 g of dry leaf is boiled in 300 g of water for 6–10 minutes, infused for about 5 hours. In the morning, drink a tablespoon of the decoction with a break of 2-3 hours, take it for 3 days, repeat the course after a week. More than one patient who treated joints using this method confirms its effectiveness.
The useful tips presented in Neumyvakin’s books and speeches will help improve the digestion process, strengthen the immune system, and launch regeneration processes in the body. First of all, the doctor advises drinking at least 1.5 liters of clean water per day (this is how much is excreted from our body per day). We are talking specifically about water; tea, coffee, juices cannot replace it. But you should not drink water while eating, because of this the concentration of gastric juice decreases, food is not completely digested and rotting processes in the gastrointestinal tract begin, and the functioning of the immune system is disrupted. You can drink no later than 10–15 minutes before meals and no earlier than an hour after. But food needs to be chewed very thoroughly so that it turns into liquid.
Regular baking soda will help cleanse the blood, thin it, prevent or eliminate acidification of the body, due to which bones lose calcium and are destroyed. It is advisable not to stop treatment after the symptoms disappear, but to carry it out regularly in courses, taking breaks.
Treatment with soda is contraindicated for late-stage cancer, stomach ulcers, significant deviations of its acidity from the norm, diabetes mellitus, and pregnancy. Treatment with soda and treatment with peroxide should be carried out separately.
The Neumyvakin method also involves physical activity, which is especially important for diseases of the joints of the limbs and spine. Neumyvakin’s opinion about the spine as one of the organs on which the health of the body as a whole depends is known. Incorrect posture, curvature of the spine, osteochondrosis and spondyloarthrosis can lead to headaches, pain in the heart, joints, and reproductive disorders. Therefore, it is extremely important to strengthen the muscles that support the spinal column and stimulate all its sections. This is facilitated by the simplest exercise shown in the video. To perform it, you need a cylindrical plastic bottle filled with water.
The professor also developed a health-improving technique of squats, which helps to activate blood circulation in the lower part of the body and eliminate stagnant processes in the ankle and knee joints. The exercise is performed near a support, for example, a tree. You need to hold on to it so that your hands are at the level of your navel. When squatting, do not bend your arms, move your back back, and do not lean forward. Only the legs bend at the knees. First, squat only 10–15 cm, over the course of 2–3 months, move on to deeper squats and increase their number to 100. Thanks to this training, blood pressure is normalized, muscles are strengthened, the correct stereotype of movements is formed, and the risk of spinal injuries is minimized.
Neumyvakin’s technique is a set of measures to activate the body’s own reserves. Getting rid of toxins, normalizing metabolic processes, and regular feasible stress on muscles and joints make it possible to achieve stable remission in patients with arthrosis. It is important that the result is achieved without expensive medications and procedures.
I have deforming arthrosis of both knee joints with impaired walking function. My hip joints and ankles are already hurting. I have been undergoing treatment for 6 years. I tried everything, including injections into the joints. At first it helped, but now nothing helps. I take handfuls of painkillers, otherwise the pain is unbearable. Doctors say I need surgery, but I don’t have the opportunity. Is there anything else that can be done to treat the joints without surgery? Koryakina Tatyana Petrovna, 52 years old, Taldykorgan.
Deforming arthrosis is a serious problem: it occurs in every fifth person on earth. With age, our body wears out, its cells, tissues and organs age - human health naturally changes. The joints are the first to react to age-related changes; inflammatory and non-inflammatory diseases arise in them: arthritis and arthrosis. In the case of arthrosis, we are dealing with changes in the tissues that model the joint, the basis of which is cartilage and its cells - chondrocytes.
Cartilage lines the surface of the bones that form the joint and makes walking easy and painless. Over time, chondrocytes lose their elasticity, some of them “die” due to injuries, chronic diseases, inflammatory processes, others are replaced by connective or bone tissue cells, sclerosed, changing the shape and configuration of the surface of the cartilage. In this case, the cartilage becomes thinner, changes its density, and in some places disappears completely, exposing the bone, which grows, trying to compensate for the loss of cartilage, but lacking its elasticity, causing pain with any movement. From here follow the three main principles of treatment of deforming arthrosis: pain relief, protection of the joint, preservation of its function.
To effectively treat the disease, you must first of all know the type of arthrosis.
Deforming arthrosis is divided into post-traumatic, that is, secondary, and metabolic, that is, age-related. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis is the result of trauma. Metabolic deforming arthrosis occurs due to disruption of metabolic processes in the body, this is the result of diseases such as, for example, gout or rheumatoid arthritis.
Experienced orthopedists, rheumatologists, surgeons and diagnosticians at the Ikhilov Complex clinic will help you forget forever about the unpleasant consequences of arthrosis. They skillfully use minimally invasive, bloodless methods of joint replacement, arthroscopic methods of diagnosis and treatment.
Today, doctors at the Ichilov Complex clinic use the most modern and effective methods of treating arthrosis, allowing their patients to quickly return the joy of movement without pain. The main emphasis of these specialists is on the use of minimally invasive, organ-saving interventions. Among the methods of treatment of arthrosis in Israel, the following are used:
Intra-articular injection of synovial fluid endoprostheses
They are injected directly into the joint to protect articular cartilage from destruction, as well as to stimulate its recovery. It is used in complex therapy for the treatment of arthrosis, arthritis, osteoarthrosis, osteochondrosis, joint inflammation, and joint injuries.
Intra-articular blockades, joint punctures
Blockades are one of the most popular and effective types of therapeutic interventions, which bring a noticeable effect in the near future after their implementation. Therapeutic blockades are used mainly for therapeutic purposes in combination with other methods of treating diseases of the nervous system and dystrophic-destructive diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
Reflexology (acupuncture, acupuncture)
Imagine that you need to contact someone by phone. To do this, you dial a certain combination of numbers. Likewise, a reflexologist, in order to “get through” to some organ of our body, uses needles on certain points of the body and provides it with the necessary information.
This is the introduction of drugs of natural origin into biologically active points of the body or directly into the site of the disease. The procedure is therapeutic; it allows you to nourish and restore damaged structures. For the procedure, special disposable micro-needles are used, which minimize possible discomfort. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, pharmacopuncture is well tolerated by both adults and children of any age.
The essence of the method is that a metal ball with a diameter of 1-2 mm, made of copper, steel, silver or gold, for example, is applied to a certain point on the body, fixed with an adhesive plaster and begins to lightly massage with rotational movements.
Treatment of hemorrhoids with the Proxon device
Treatment of hemorrhoids without surgery. In most cases, one procedure is sufficient. Sclerotherapy + ultrasound.
Hirudotherapy (treatment with leeches)
Plasmolifting™ - treatment of joints, arthritis, arthrosis!
Orthoplasma™ is a new method of treating joint diseases!
Joint diseases - arthritis, arthrosis, coxarthrosis - occupy one of the leading places among pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. The causes of these ailments are varied: injuries, infections, increased physical activity, metabolic disorders. The fact that pathological changes begin to occur in the joint tissues is signaled by symptoms such as pain of varying intensity, limitation of movement, stiffness and swelling.
Until recently, it was believed that the treatment of joint diseases could be mainly only symptomatic, since the natural restoration of cartilage tissue is almost impossible. Traditional methods of treatment temporarily eliminated the symptoms of the disease without fighting the cause of its occurrence, and this was a problem for medicine.
The revolutionary method of treating joints Orthoplasma™ gave people with sore joints hope for a complete restoration of the musculoskeletal system without heavy drug treatment and surgery!
Orthoplasma is the latest treatment method, which is based on the already known Plasmolifting technology, but does not repeat this technique. Unlike plasmolifting, which has long been successfully used in the treatment of dental, gynecological, urological diseases, as well as in cosmetology, Orthoplasma is intended exclusively for the treatment of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system.
The essence of the method is treatment with platelet-rich blood plasma. The main function of platelets containing growth factors is to participate in metabolic processes and tissue restoration, which is what the action of the method is based on. Increasing the concentration of platelets in the affected area greatly accelerates the natural regeneration of cells. The faster this process, the more pronounced the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects become.
The Plasmolifting™ procedure itself consists of the following steps:
Today, there are innovative methods for treating arthrosis. A chronic disease that leads to dystrophic transformation of articular cartilage is called arthrosis. It leads to changes in bone tissue and does not spare joints . Therefore, it only needs professional treatment. Arthrosis is one of the first to affect the knee joints, and then gradually rises higher and goes down. Therefore, hip joints and big toes are added to the knees.
There are several symptoms of arthrosis. There is pain when walking. But at the initial stage they manifest themselves very weakly and are very often perceived as leg fatigue. At the next stage, pain is felt during physical activity. And at the next stage, the pain syndrome will be even in a stationary position. If there is a cardiovascular disease, then when the weather changes, pain will also be felt.
If there is a dry crunch in the joints, then this is also a sign of arthrosis. This crunch occurs due to friction of worn-out joints. In subsequent stages, the crunching will become louder and rougher. It must be recalled that the usual cracking of joints, accompanied by a ringing crunch, is not a symptom of the disease. One of the symptoms is joint stiffness. This is associated with muscle spasm, the appearance of bone growths and spines, as well as a decrease in the joint space. In this case, the joints affected by arthrosis are modified.
They become deformed due to the development of growths and spines. The synovial fluid begins to expand, putting pressure on the joint from the inside. This increase is due to irritation of the joint tissues and is called synovitis. Osteoarthritis is sometimes confused with arthritis, but these are completely different diseases. With arthritis, pain will occur during movement and most often during the day. And with arthrosis, the pain is sharper, stronger and does not depend on the time of day, as well as on movement. Often they can occur even in an immobilized state.

If you believe general statistics, then every seventh person on Earth is susceptible to a disease such as arthrosis. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that affects the articular cartilage. As the disease progresses, deformation of the diseased joints begins. In European countries, arthrosis is one of the main causes of disability.
In addition, joint disease can significantly affect the economic development of countries, identical to the initial economic downturn. This happens due to the fact that significant amounts of money are spent on the treatment of arthrosis. In addition, the working capacity of the population and, accordingly, overall labor productivity are significantly reduced. It is now possible to track the rapid growth and progression of the disease among the population. Thus, the whole of Europe (both residents and employers) expects the speedy development of new drugs that will be much more effective than existing ones.
Arthrosis can be caused by several different reasons, but most often the disease is promoted by infectious processes, specific allergic reactions, and disturbances in the functioning of the immune system. The main impetus for the progression of the disease is the natural wear and tear of the joints. Bad habits (smoking, unhealthy overeating), a sedentary lifestyle, and excess weight can provoke further development of arthrosis. In particular, you should not lose sight of the possibility of a genetic predisposition to joint disease.
We can separately distinguish “occupational arthrosis”: it develops due to many years of monotonous loads on the same muscles and joints. This may affect professional athletes and people whose job involves constantly performing the same physical activities.
The symptoms of any arthrosis are practically the same: pain is felt in the joint, especially when moving, stiffness is felt, as if something is preventing you from moving. You may also notice swelling around the affected joint, mild redness, and increased body temperature in the area. In rare cases, arthrosis may be accompanied by fever and general weakness in the body. It should be remembered that if such symptoms appear, it is best to immediately consult a doctor and follow all his recommendations.
In Europe, there are entire associations and scientific communities of doctors that develop confirmed and practice-tested recommendations for complex treatment. Such recommendations are usually called treatment protocols. They have their own standards, and they serve as a certain guideline in treatment for other doctors. Protocols have their own specific classification:
There are drug and non-drug treatments for arthrosis. Since arthrosis is usually an infectious disease, its treatment involves the widespread use of various antibiotics. In order to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in arthrosis, various ointments (based on diclofenac) help. In addition, you can make the simplest compresses using blue clay and various combinations of herbs. In order to restore cartilage tissue, you need to take the following medications:
There are also methods for treating arthrosis, in which the use of medications is not key. Special therapeutic physical exercises are very helpful in relieving arthrosis. Most of all, you need to focus on exercises in lying and sitting positions. Exercises in the pool will be very useful, but strictly under the supervision of a specialist.
A complex of non-drug treatment: thermal procedures, massages, mud treatment, ultrasound and magnetic therapy should be selected individually for each patient, depending on the characteristics of the disease. A good, proper massage can help in the treatment of arthrosis, because massage manipulations restore blood circulation around the affected joint.
Doctors also recommend acupuncture as an auxiliary procedure (if the patient refuses medication for one reason or another). Treatment with homeopathy and dietary supplements is also beneficial. Progress is achieved due to the fact that dietary supplements contain fatty acids that help restore cartilage tissue.
In any case, it should be remembered that each body is individual and, before trying any treatment, especially drugs that have not been used before, it is worth consulting with a doctor to avoid the possible consequences of intolerance to a particular type of drug or dietary supplement.
In case of acute advanced arthrosis, in most cases, doctors give a referral for surgical intervention, that is, replacing a joint through surgery with an artificial one. However, modern European developments have proven that there are similar cases in which it is quite possible to do without surgery. In Germany, an ultra-modern method of treating arthrosis using magnetic resonance therapy has been developed: this is a computer-controlled device. With the help of magnetic resonance, on the basis of which it works, the patient's metabolic rate increases, which contributes to the restoration of cartilage tissue.
This technology has received a patent and, according to permission, is widely used in medical centers in Israel. This treatment is most effective if the patient has arthrosis of the joints of the arms and legs. The treatment protocol using magnetic resonance therapy consists of one-hour daily sessions for 10 days. After this, the body is left alone for several months, then the following check is carried out: if a noticeable improvement is observed, then after a year it is recommended to undergo a course of such therapy again.
In addition, in Germany they began to develop new drugs that will treat arthrosis by initially preventing the destruction of cartilage tissue. Research is based on the introduction of monoclonal antibodies obtained from animal blood into the patient’s joint fluid. The possibility of creating such a drug in tablet form is currently being developed to make it widely available to the population.
A drug called MabThera has been successfully tested in the UK and has already been approved by the National Institutes of Health. This drug is created on the basis of special elements that can block damage to cartilage and bone tissue. The European treatment protocol with this drug very successfully cures severe, almost advanced stages of arthrosis.
In Italy, another medicine was developed based on elements that compensate for the deficiency of glucozymine, the main “building material” of cartilage tissue and bones. The problem is that the older a person gets, the less of this substance the body produces. Thus, the joints become thinner and there is constant pain when moving. The developed drug is called “Triaste” and in most cases guarantees recovery within a few months.
Already, according to the forecasts of European experts, by 2022 a significant improvement in the protocol for the treatment of arthrosis is expected, an increase in the quantity and quality of drugs, a reduction in their cost and widespread availability for all segments of the population.
