For osteoarthritis patients who are often plagued by great pain, This significantly improves the quality of lifeEven months after the end of therapy, many sufferers report less pain from their osteoarthritis.

Another treatment that can permanently relieve the symptoms of arthrosis is the natural volcanic mud pack. The pack is heated to 46 to 48 degrees and then applied to the painful joints. The interaction of the substances contained in it with the heat results in the tissue and muscles being relaxed.

Diagnosis: Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is diagnosed using an X-ray, ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. The latter can detect early signs of wear and tear and differentiate between four levels of severity depending on the damage to the cartilage. However, the visible changes do not necessarily provide information about how severe a patient's pain is, as pain can be reduced by building up muscle around the affected joints.

Severity of osteoarthritis

• Grade I: Discoloration and softening of the cartilage can already be seen.
• Grade II: The MRI makes the rough surface and small cracks visible.
• Grade III: A crater-shaped defect can already be identified that extends to the bone.
• Grade IV: The cartilage has completely disappeared and the exposed bone can be seen.

History of severity

When pain first occurs, the medical history is initially based on questions. The doctor will ask when the pain occurs and how it manifests itself. It is also important to find out when they first appeared and whether there are previous illnesses in the patient's family or whether there was an accident or an operation that could have caused the changes. In addition, the doctor analyzes the patient's gait and mobility and checks the range of motion of the joint as well as pain, swelling and other changes.

Osteoarthritis: Minimize risk factors

Both the development of osteoarthritis and its progression can be prevented or slowed down by taking appropriate measures. If you have a family history, please note the following points:

• Avoid extreme sports as this puts disproportionate strain on the joints.
• Get into the habit early on of avoiding one-sided movements or consciously correcting them.
• You should also pay attention to your weight to protect your joints.
• If you have congenital misalignments, you should correct them in good time, for example with orthopedic insoles.
• Make regular exercise an integral part of your daily routine: special postural gymnastics or physiotherapeutic treatments give you exercises that you can then do yourself at home. This systematic muscle building will permanently relieve the strain on your joints.

Exercise

Even if your osteoarthritis is already very advanced, exercise is essential because this is the only way to maintain full or partial mobility. In addition to building muscle, regular exercise also produces synovial fluid, which is essential for joints and cartilage. The synovial fluid, also known as synovial lubricant, supplies the cartilage with nutrients and acts like a shock absorber during fast movements. In interaction with muscles and ligaments, this effectively protects against incorrect and overloading of the joints. Ideally, you should integrate healthy movement sequences into your everyday life.

In addition, there are various joint-friendly sports such as swimming, cycling or Nordic walking, which will help you stay fit and flexible for a long time. Swimming is particularly ideal because you can train in the weightlessness of the water without putting any strain on your joints. However, pay attention to correct, healthy movement sequences here too. The same applies to Nordic walking: this sport is only beneficial to your health if you master the technique correctly.

Nutrition

With the right diet, you can prevent inflammation in the body and generally become healthier and fitter. A high proportion of abdominal fat in particular promotes the development of inflammation, a circumstance that can have a negative impact on osteoarthritis. Joint inflammation promotes the breakdown of cartilage and should therefore be avoided. Various foods are particularly beneficial for osteoarthritis: Make sure you consume high-quality proteins, carbohydrates and lots of fruit and vegetables. Because these plant-based food components have an anti-inflammatory effect. Foods rich in vitamins and calcium are also recommended. Also make sure that you consume as much unsaturated fatty acids as possible and generally eat a diet rich in fiber. However, avoid saturated solid acids and hydrogenated fats as well as very fatty cheese as much as possible. Coffee, alcohol and meat also have harmful effects.
