What is arthritis?
What are the risk factors?
Sex – women are more likely than men to develop RA
Family history – if a family member has RA, other family members have increased risk of RA
Smoking – smoking increases risk and severity of RA, especially for those with genetic predisposition for developing RA
Environmental exposure – exposure to asbestos or silica may increase risk of RA
Obesity – those who are overweight or obese may have a higher risk of developing RA
Osteoarthritis:
Age – risk of OA increases with age
Sex – women are more likely to develop OA than men
Obesity – carrying extra body weight puts one at risk for OA through added stress on weight bearing joints and increased fat tissue produces proteins, causing inflammation in and around joints
Joint injuries – injuries from sports or accidents may increase risk of OA
Certain occupations – jobs that place repetitive stress on a certain joint may increase risk of developing OA in that joint
Genetics – some people inherit the tendency to develop OA
Bone deformities – those born with malformed joints or defective cartilage have increased risk of OA
Symptoms
Solutions for arthritis
Our treatments use nerve blocks and trigger point injections in acupuncture points to clear blockages of qi, or energy, restoring circulation to the area and alleviating pain. Herbs and supplements help decrease inflammation, prevent further loss of cartilage, and strengthen the liver and kidney thereby increasing blood flow to the inflicted areas. A healthy diet that includes omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties, and specific exercises (i.e. aerobics, yoga, meditation) help maintain pain relief.
