What is this?What is the difference?
There is an osteoarthritis disease, but there is arthritis.Their names are very similar, these diseases strike the same organs - the joints, but the very foundation of these ailments is always different.What is the difference?
What is osteoarthritis
One of the main characteristics of this disease is the lesion of the cartilage fabric in the joint.With any osteoarthritis, there are painful pain in the area of affected joint, swelling may appear.
At the same time, the cartilage stops facing the charge there, and it begins to collapse more than that which manages to recover.
Consequently, the cartilaginous layer between the bones, which provides a normal shift in the joint surfaces of the bones, does not face its function, begins to collapse and all movements are accompanied by pain.
What is arthritis
It is a chronic inflammatory process in the joints.Arthritis is caused by serious disorders in the nutrition of the joint.Often accompanied by swelling of the sick area.
Symptoms of arthritis and osteoarthritis have a significant difference.
Arthrosis does not have in its symptoms of "volatility".In simple terms, the inflammation that appeared in a joint is extremely rarely transferred to another joint, leaving the first one.

The difference between arthritis and osteoarthritis is of the nature of pain.
With arthritis, pain disappears when a person is actively moving, with the exception of morning pain.
With osteoarthritis, the stiffness in the morning passes in a short period of time, while moving the "cries" joint.
Anti-inflammatory drugs of the non-steroid type used in the treatment of arthritis can only eliminate pain for a certain time.Arthritis can stop showing itself, but then attack with renewed vigor.
With osteoarthritis, the reasons why articular cartilage begins to collapse, metabolic disorders, excess weight and a decrease in the blood flow of the joint can become.

The gentle manual technique for relaxing connective tissues near the joint contributes to the increase in blood flow and oxygen supply.The "starts to breathe" joint.
The manual stimulation technique, the "alarm clock" from the start of the muscles attached to the rear, along the spine, has a beneficial effect on the lymphatic system.The lymph works like a drainage system, cleaning the body of toxins and eliminating the large suspended particles between tissue space, as well as the supply of hormones, proteins and lymphocytes to all cells.
There is an opportunity to feel better, to free yourself from tension, to find contact with your body.
And, of course, this is only part of the path.
