Arthritis Ayurvedic Treatment in Surat

Definition:

Arthritis is an inflammatory condition of the one or more joints that causes swelling, pain, tenderness and joint stiffness.

What is Arthritis?

• A joint is where two or more bones meet, such as in the shoulders, knees, elbows and fingers. Joints hold bones and allow them to move freely within limits.
• Most of the joints are surrounded by capsule. The capsule is filled with synovial fluid that helps to lubricate the joint.
• The ends of the bones within a joint are lined with cartilage. This cartilage allows bones to glide over one another as they move. Cartilage is a firm but flexible connective tissue. It protects the joints by absorbing the pressure and shock when moving and putting stress. A reduction in the normal amount of this cartilage tissue causes arthritis.
• Arthritis can affect any joint but is most common in knees, hands, wrists, feet, ankles, shoulders and lumbar spine. Some joints naturally wear down with age that’s why arthritis is extremely common in people older than 50 years.

Causes:

• Age: Happens naturally as age – a lifetime using joints can eventually wear down cartilage cushioning.
