Tips to Prevent Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis of the hip
Osteoarthritis of the hip
Osteoarthritis occurs due to normal wear and tear in a joint or due to a trauma of the joint such as typically experienced by sportsmen and women.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and typically affects the larger joints of the body such as knees and hips. It is however not limited to only the larger joints.

In the injury or wear and tear the cartilige of the joint is worn away or degraded resulting in friction of  the opposing bones of the joint. 

Inflammation sets into the joint often accompanied by an accumulation of fluid such as the commonly known "Water on the Knee".

Mild to excrutiating pain may be experienced in the affected joint.

Tips for Preventing Osteoarthritis

1) Avoid contact sports or sports where there is a constant "jarring" of the joint. Those minor injuries that you experience while playing sport will come back to haunt you in your later years.

2) Ensure sufficient calcium intake to keep your bones at optimum strength. As you begin to get older it may be wise to have constant bone density checks.

3) Partcipate in exercise so as to keep your muscle strength at a high. The supporting muscles around a joint remove stress from the joint and help to act as a cushion in the case of impact on the joint. Muscle dystrophy (loss of muscle) increases joint stress and could accelerate osteoarthritis.

4) Watch your weight!! Excess weight results in increased joint stress. Certain activities result in as much as 5 times more weight stress being placed on a joint.

ie 10 Lbs of excess weight could result in as much as 50 Lbs of weight strain being placed on your knees when walking down stairs. The use of a quality diet pill such as Phen375 will help you to reduce the strain on your joints as well as improve muscle tone.

Treatments for Osteoarthritis

Treatments for osteoarthrits are pretty much limited to management of pain and inflammation. In the occasional case a doctor may recommend surgery such as joint replacement or joint bracing.

In nearly all cases anti-inflammatories (NSAID's) are prescribed to reduce the inflammation of the joint. Typically the anti inflammatories do help reduce the swelling and pain but often result in more serious afflictions due to the negative side effects.

NSAID's are fast becoming the leading cause of peptic ulcers and have been indicated in an increased risk of strokes and heart attacks, kidney and liver problems as well as gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients prescribed NSAID's are soon on handfuls of additional medication to control the negative side effects of the NSAID's.
