If
you or someone you know have been suffering from
inflammation of the joints with pain then read
on. For, you may be suffering from Arthritis.
Arthritis is a medical condition affecting a joint
or joints, causing pain, swelling and stiffness.
There are more than 100 diseases classified as
a type of arthritis or rheumatic disease.
The primary causes of arthritis are:
-
an accumulation of toxins in the
body (from the environment, food, drugs, and
other sources)
-
bacterial and yeast infections
(often due to excessive use of antibiotics)
-
parasites
-
intestinal permeability (undigested
food proteins and toxins cross the intestinal
barrier)
-
physical trauma
-
nerve damage
-
poor stress-coping abilities and
other emotional factors
It is essential to understand the
factors causing arthritis in each person, because
arthritis is never caused by one thing alone,
and no two people have exactly the same causal
factors.
Holistic Approach to Arthritis
Treatment
Holistic medicine offers arthritis sufferers
lasting relief from pain and inflammation.
According to the holistic medicine approach, arthritis
is a disease that results from multiple causes,
many of them with less-than-obvious connections
to the disease or causes not easily detectable.
Skilled holistic medicine doctors take the time
needed to find the root causes of arthritis. Holistic
medicine concentrates its diagnosis and a treatment
plan around a "customized" approach.
Holistic medicine draws upon a wide range
of therapies to help treat, and in some cases
even prevent arthritis:
- Chinese herbal medicine
- Proper diet and nutrition
- Stress reduction
- Detoxification
- Repair of nerves and muscles (through
acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, and exercise)
With holistic medicine, health
is restored to the patient, rather than simply
providing superficial symptomatic relief.
Chiropractic treatments in the medicine
centre
Chiropractic is the third largest health-care
profession in the USA, used by more than 50 million
Americans a year.
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that
focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system
and the nervous system, and the effects of these
disorders on general health. Chiropractic care
is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal
complaints, including but not limited to back
pain, neck pain, a pain in the joints of the arms
or legs, and headaches.
Chiropractic Treatment
Chiropractors, who are doctors of Chiropractic,
practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health
care that includes patient examination, diagnosis
and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic
skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic
and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide
nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
The most common therapeutic procedure performed
by chiropractors is known as “spinal manipulation,”
also called “chiropractic adjustment.”
The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint
mobility by manually applying a controlled force
into joints that have become restricted in their
movement. Manipulation restores mobility, thereby
alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing
tissues to heal.
Chiropractic adjustment rarely causes discomfort.
In many cases, such as lower back pain, chiropractic
care may be the primary method of treatment.
