Treatment of Osteoarthritis That You Ought to Know

Better known in medical terms as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease it is another popular form of Arthritis that originates due to breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage within the bones.
Over 20 million people around the world, generally occurs to men after the age of 45 and above and in the case of women 55 and above.
Patients suffering from Osteoarthritis go through excruciating pain that inculcates the affected part and at times the pain tends to spread towards the surrounding region.
Hands, feet, spine, and large weight-bearing joints are the ones that are commonly affected.
Medically speaking, with age the water content within the cartilage grows along with the decrease in the protein make up of the cartilage.
Ultimately the cartilage tends to deteriorate by flaking and they form tiny crevasses.
In extreme cases it has been found that, there is total loss in the entire cartilage that cushions the bone joints resulting in immense pain and swelling.
Researchers and doctors alike have found Osteoarthritis to be hereditary and secondly one may find Osteoarthritis with people suffering from obesity, repeated trauma or surgery to the joint structures, gout, abnormal joints at birth (congenital abnormalities), diabetes, and other hormone disorders.
There are two ways of treating Osteoarthritis, one is the surgical and another is the non surgical way.

Surgical treatments like Osteotomy, Joint replacements, Chondroplasty, Arthroscopy etc are done by a lot of patients now a day to treat Osteoarthritis.
Osteotomy is a more conserved form of surgery.
With Osteotomy the entire joint loading mechanism can be altered.
Thus it eliminates the pain to a large extent and is very effective with patients having knee Osteoarthritis.
Joint replacement surgery is for those in their advanced stage of Osteoarthritis.
Chondroplasty is also quite popular but lack in efficacy in certain ways.
Arthroscopy removes fragments of loose cartilages thus preventing pain.
Nonsurgical method of treating Osteoarthritis is the Rotational Field Quantum Magnetic Resonance Technology, shortly known as RFQMR.
This procedure uses a device that is totally computer controlled.
It is known as Cytotron.
This device focuses a RFQMR beam on the joint that is affected.
These beams affect the dynamicity of the cells in those areas and cause them to generate and activate.
This stimulates growth of cartilage.
This treatment enhances mobility and flexibility.
This treatment is practiced in clinic and has been successful in cases over 500.
