What is Rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy body tissue causing chronic inflammation.

This form of arthritis affects more than joints as it can also damage other systems of the body such as the skin, eyes, lungs, heart, and blood vessels. (Bone erosion and joint deformity are caused by painful swelling of the joint lining and is not associated with wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis.) The actual cause of rheumatoid arthritis is still unknown.

However, genetics is thought to play a part (although genes don't actually cause the disease, genes can make you more susceptible to environmental factors — such as infection with certain viruses and bacteria — that may trigger the disease). The disease typically starts in small joints such as fingers and toes and progresses to the wrists, knees, ankles, elbows, hips, and shoulders.

Symptoms generally occur in the same joints on both sides of the body and include:
-Tender, warm, swollen joints
-Joint stiffness that is usually worse in the mornings and after inactivity
-Fatigue
-Fever
-Weight loss

Things to keep in mind:
-women are more likely to develop the condition than men
-can occur at any age, but most commonly between ages 40 - 60
-family history can increase the risk
-smoking increases risk and disease severity
-environmental exposures such as asbestos or silica may increase the risk
-obesity increases risk

Using safe, natural and holistic approaches, like the ones we use here at Holistic Health & Chiropractic of Frankfort, have been life changing for so many people.

Thank you to all for the birthday wishes, it means a lot.

My answer to the tree marriage proposals…
No, no, and I’ll think about it.

And to that one person, who asked me about that one thing (you know who you are)…
Buy me a bottle of bourbon and I’ll think about it. I need motivation to make bad decisions…. 🙄🤣

What is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis, also called degenerative arthritis, is the most common form of arthritis. Cartilage is a firm, slippery tissue that supports smooth joint motion. Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage on the ends of bones wears down over time leaving bone rubbing on bone. Osteoarthritis can damage any joint in the body, however, joints in the hands, knees, hips, and spine are more frequently affected.

Common symptoms which develop over a long period of time:
-pain in the joint during movement
-joint tenderness when pressure is applied
-stiffness following periods of inactivity
-loss of range of motion
-grating sensation with use of joint
-bone spurs can form around the affected joint

Common risk factors:
-risk increases with age
-women are more likely than men to develop the condition
-carrying extra body weight stresses the joints
-sports injuries
-certain occupations with repetitive stress on a joint

Pain is commonly associated with the loss of cartilage causing bone to rub against bone. However, there are other conditions which may cause pain.

Bone microfractures occur when cartilage is lost placing stress on the bone resulting in bone bruises or tiny fractures. Osteophytes, or bone spurs, are small bony growths that can occur on the sides of joints. Joints are lined with a membrane or liquid called synovial fluid to help joints move smoothly. When this lining becomes inflamed, too much fluid can build up leading to synovitis. Joint pain often leads to being more inactive which leads to muscle weakness. Weak muscles will place additional stress on joints. Ligaments are bands of tissue connecting bones together. Damage to ligaments is also common with osteoarthritis.

One name... many faces…

Arthritis is not a single disease, but a term referring to various conditions of joint pain or joint diseases. Arthritis affects people of all ages, genders, and race and is the leading cause of disability in America as more than 50 million adults and 300,000 children have some type of arthritis. There are actually over 100 different types of
arthritis and related conditions. The most common types include: - rheumatoid arthritis (RA) -psoriatic arthritis (PsA) -fibromyalgia -gout -lupus with osteoarthritis (OA) being the most common.

Unfortunately, one of the most common forms of treatment for osteoarthritis is also one of the worst things you could do for this condition and that is taking NSAIDS or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Although these medications are designed to reduce inflammation, which they do in the short term, in the long term they actually increase oxidative stress (a fancy way of saying inflammation throughout the whole system). This increase in oxidative stress interferes with the formation of cartilage… the very tissue needed to repair the joints.

Just because popping some pills is easy… just because everyone is doing something doesn’t mean it’s the best way to help this condition. And if you are using NSAIDS to alleviate your arthritic pain you maybe making the problem worse and worse and worse.

Using safe, natural and holistic approaches, like the ones we use here at Holistic Health & Chiropractic of Frankfort, have been life changing for so many people.

In fact, we’ve been helping people with arthritis for over 26 years using many methods like chiropractic to keep the arthritic joints mobile, acupuncture to reduce systemic stress and inflammation, and nutritional supplements and diet to reduce joint inflammation and provide the necessary nutrients to heal and rebuild joint tissue.

If you, or someone you know, suffers from arthritic pain feel free to reach out and schedule an appointment. We will do our best to get you back to your busy life. CALL (815) 469-7472 or visit our website NOW to schedule your consultation today!
