Arthritis Treatment Overview

We use this title because not all arthritis treatment is, shall we say, enjoyable. If you suffer from the painful effects of this
debilitating condition though, very little can seem worse. The pain is often so
severe that the simplest movements can cause anguish and even tears. But, there
are treatments to help arthritis. Can they cure it? That is still to be seen,
but many have shown to be effective in fighting off the pain. First, there are
many different types of arthritis. The causes of each will help to determine the
treatment. But, here, we will talk mainly of the treatment options available and
then those that are quite possibly the best at treating rheumatoid arthritis.

The symptoms of any arthritis start with pain. There is pain in the joints in a
way that limits the amount of movement a person has. Now, remember, as well,
that arthritis can strike any individual, not necessarily just older people. So,
if a child stops using a limb complaining of pain, a doctor should be seen. On
top of this, if symptoms of pain are accompanied with fever a doctor should be
seen immediately as this can be a sign of a deadlier arthritis known as septic
arthritis. In all cases, arthritis is an inflammation in the joints. The problem
in rheumatoid arthritis is that, in trying to deal with the inflammation, the
immune system ends up attacking the cartilage in the joints. The end result is
pain and lessened use of the effected joint.

In order to stop this process,
arthritis treatments
can be anything from surgery to medications. There are some good notes about
medications, but in the end, they can not resolve the entire problem, only mask
the pain for a while. Surgery is invasive and costly. Physical treatment is
available and has shown good progress in helping some patients. There are also
herbal remedies that have shown good signs of helping as well. There is one
product that we would like to mention in a little more detail. What is so unique
about this product, though, is that it is a natural treatment that can be taken.

In the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in particular, collagen type II can be
just as good as a cure to some individuals. This natural substance is actually a
main component of cartilage itself. But, no injections are needed because this
is an oral treatment. You will take a pill, in other words. There are many
reasons why this medication works including the fact that it has an absorption
rate of 70 to 90 percent. This means more of it is used and fewer doses are
needed. There are other reasons why it works so well.

For instance, the immune system has a component of cells in the intestine called
the GALT. This is where proteins are recognized as food or "friend" and
therefore not treated as allergies or sensitivities by the digestive system.
When collagen type II is ingested, the GALT recognizes this amino acid as a
friendly protein. This action switches off the immune system's attack on
collagen elsewhere in the body as in arthritic joints. Instead of the immune
system fighting the inflammation and destroying the remaining good material, the
Galt simply tells it to stop. And, probably the most important aspect of this
natural arthritis treatment [http://jointadvance.herbsareus.com/index.php] is that it can also help to rebuild the damaged and
destroyed cartilage. The combination of these two factors can help to restore a
normal way of life.
