YOUR JOINTS

Body Joints

A joint is any connection between two bones. It consists of bones, muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and a lubricating fluid all enclosed by a tough joint capsule. Joints are classified according to how they connect to each other (structure). Fibrous Joint is joined by fibrous connective tissue, Cartilaginous Joint is joined by cartilage, and Synovial Joint is not directly joined. By the degree of their mobility, joints can be classified as Synarthrosis Joint, which permits little or no mobility like the skull; Amphiarthrosis Joint, which permits slight mobility like the vertebrae; and the Diarthrosis Joint, which permits variety of movements such as the shoulders, hip, elbow, and the knee. Another classification of joints is based on their biomechanical properties. Simple Joints have two articulation surfaces such as the shoulder joint and the hip joint. Compound Joints have three or more articulation surfaces such as the radiocarpal joint. Complex Joints have two or more articulation surfaces and an articular disc or meniscus such as in the knee joint.

The primary functions of joints are to provide motion and flexibility to the skeletal frame and to act as shock absorbers. Another major function is protection. Ligaments, an important part of the joints, prevent dislocation and excessive movement that might cause breakage in your body. They support many internal organs, including the uterus, the bladder, the liver, and the diaphragm. These aspects directly affect your lifestyle and productivity. The condition of your joints must not be taken for granted since in a course of a day, joints are used to the maximum. Every movement your body makes involves a joint activity. Like a machine, joints are subjected to the inevitable "wear and tear" process, thus, needing a serious maintenance.

Components

Knee Anatomy

  • Articular Cartilage is a covering found in the end of each bone. It is a tough material that cushions and protects the ends of the bones. Arthritis develops when it begins to wear out.

  • Synovial Membrane is the synovial sac around each joint that protects the joint and secretes the synovial fluid. Synovial fluid serves to protect the joint, lubricate the joint, and provide nourishment to the articular cartilage.

  • Bursa is a small sac that is not part of the joint but is near the joint, which contains a fluid that lubricates the movement of muscles.

  • Muscles are elastic tissues able to change length. They allow for motion at the joints.

  • Tendons are fibrous cords that attach muscles to the bones. Unlike muscles which expand or contract, the tendons are unable to change length. However, as the muscle moves, the tendon to which it is attached also moves.

  • Ligaments are much shorter fibrous cords located around the joints binding bone ends together. They provide for the stability of a joint and hold the adjacent bones in proper alignment.

  • Meniscal Cartilage is a type of specialized tissue found in every joint in the body. It is a C-shaped piece of cartilage located between the major weight bearing bones of the knee, which acts to ensure stability, lubrication, nutrition, and shock absorption.
Factors Affecting the Degeneration of your Joints
  • Age - As you age, the cartilage wears down and becomes thinner. It changes from being smooth to being fissured, which causes it to get damaged easily. Aging causes cartilage to lose water, subjecting it to higher risks of injury from repetitive motion and stress.

  • Earlier injuries and inflammation – Incidents such as having twisted an ankle, falling on your wrist or having suffered from any sports injury when you were younger contribute to future joint condition. These minor injuries cause low levels of inflammation that affects the actual biomechanical structure of the cartilage. The cartilage at the place of injury is later destroyed.

  • Loss of muscle mass – Your muscles lose mass as you age. The joints absorb more of the shocks that occur everyday, which makes it more susceptible to damage. When you reach the age of 30, you begin to lose 3-5 percent of your muscle mass per decade. Upon reaching 50, this muscle mass decline increases to 1-2 percent per year.

  • Being overweight – Exceeding the recommended weight for your body built also degenerate your joints. Your joints have to carry more than their normal capacity. In the long run, this could be extremely detrimental to the cartilage, especially in areas such as the knees and ankles.  Excess weight was significantly associated with an increased risk of rapid cartilage loss. For a one-unit increase in your BMI (Body Mass Index) than what is advisable to your body built and height, the odds of rapid cartilage loss increased by 11 percent. This cartilage loss directly depletes your overall joint health. For every one pound of weight lost, there is a four pound reduction in the load exerted on the weight-bearing joints in the body, particularly the knee.

  • Overuse of Joints - Overuse of a particular joint because of occupation or sports speeds up joint damage. For instance, playing tennis regularly can lead to overuse of the elbow joint and lead to “tennis elbow” which signals the beginnings of joint deterioration.

COMMON JOINT INJURIES


Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles Tendonitis

This injury is caused by an inflammation in the Achilles tendon, the largest tendon in the body found right at the back of the ankle. The inflammation is usually due to overuse, as in frequent jumping in volleyball or basketball. The most common case is over-pronation of the ankle and the foot, causing the tendon to pull off from the center. Anti-inflammatory agents help to relieve swelling and pain. Restraint from physical activities is required to engender healing.

Ankle Sprain

Angle Sprain

The most common ankle sprain happens when the foot rolls to the outside and sprains the ligaments on the outside of the ankle. The outside of the ankle swells up and throbs, and may turn black and blue around the injury. Effective treatment for ankle sprain is the combination of rest, cold compress (ice), elevation, and compression. This limits internal bleeding and cuts down swelling. Strengthening exercises can help overcome stiffness and restore mobility.

Runner's Knee

Runner's Knee

Medically termed as Chondromalacia Patella, Runner's Knee is due to misalignment of the kneecap.  The kneecap pulls off to one predominant side and rubs on the side causing both the sides and the cartilage to wear out. Sometimes, fluid buildup will cause swelling in the affected knee. Pain can develop around the back of the kneecap or in the back of the knee after participating in any running sport. Fluid may also build up and cause swelling in the knee. Isometric exercises are recommended to begin strengthening the quadriceps by contracting and relaxing the muscle. A large dose of aspirin, two plain or buffered aspirin pills four times a day may improve the condition and may help reduce inflammation within the kneecap cartilage.

Ruptured Ligaments

ACL Injury Anatomy

Rupture of ligaments may occur with traumatic injuries. Such injuries may involve automobile accidents, falling from heights, stumbling, and falling during running. A painful swelling and bruise takes place on the affected joint. The most frequent ruptures of lateral ligaments (like the above Anterior Cruciate Ligament - ACL) occur in young adults while older people usually suffer more from a fracture of the lateral ankle. Injuries of epiphyseal cartilage commonly occur in younger children. The common cause of ruptured ligaments is ankle joint distortion or supination trauma, more popularly known as foot sprain. Symptoms of ruptured ligaments include severe pain that begins immediately after injury, weakness of affected muscles, limitation of mobility, immobility, swelling, and sensitivity to pressure. Treatment includes total rest and surgery or fixation of torn bone fragments and recovery takes about 1 to 12 weeks, depending upon the extent of damage.

Shin Splint

Shin Splint

Shin splints are pains in the muscles near the shin bone caused by overuse and running or jumping on hard surfaces. The pain occurs on the inner side of the middle third of the shin bone. With repeated stress, the arch of the foot begins to pull some of its muscle fibers loose from the shin bone. This causes small areas of bleeding around the lining of the bone, and accompanying pain.

Shoulder Impingement

Shoulder Impingement

Your shoulder bones are held together by a group of muscles known as the rotator cuff muscles. When an injury occurs to the rotator cuff muscles, they respond by swelling. The pressure within the muscles increases, which results in compression and reduced blood flow in the small blood vessels. When the blood flow decreases, the muscle tissue begins to erode and stretch out. This allows the head of the joint to become loose within the shoulder socket. Pain and inflammation begins to take place. Softball, tennis, volleyball, swimming, and weight training pose the greaterst risk for shoulder impringement. Symptoms include difficulty reaching up behind the back, pain with overhead use of the arm, and weakness of shoulder muscles. Some people will also experience ruptured biceps muscle as part of prolonged impingement condition. Physical therapy, ultrasound, moist heat and electrical muscle stimulation followed by rehabilitative exercises are recommended treatments.

Tennis Elbow

Tennis Elbow

Tennis Elbow is characterized by an inflammation of the muscles in the forearm and the tendons in the elbow. This is usually caused by repetitive twisting of the wrist or forearm which causes irritation. A tennis player most often aggravates the elbow by hitting the ball late on the backhand side, straining the forearm muscles and tendons, which makes the condition named after the sport.  A second type of tennis elbow is known as medial epicondylitis, which causes pain on the inside of the elbow. It is most often seen among weight-lifters, golfers, baseball pitchers, and tennis players who hit topspin forehands. Cortisone injection is the common option to reduce the inflammation around the elbow and ease the pain, but the main cause of the problem, which is over-stressing the forearm tendon, is not addressed.  Exercises such as wrist curls (flexing the wrist forward while holding a light dumbbell at the side with the palm facing forward) and reverse wrist curls can help improve forearm strength. Squeezing a stressball until the hand is fatigued also strengthens the forearm muscles.

JOINT DISEASES

Arthritis
Arthritis is a group of conditions involving inflammatory damage to the joints of the body. According to estimates from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, each year, Arthritis results in 750,000 hospitalizations and 36 million outpatient visits. Ten years ago, medical care for Arthritis cost nearly 22 billion dollars, and the total cost, including lost productivity, topped 82 billion. There are approximately 46 million adults in America that suffer from over 100 forms of Arthritis; nearly two-thirds are younger than 65. Symptoms of Arthritis include pain and limited function of joints: tenderness, stiffness, swelling, redness, and warmth. Causes of Arthritis include injury, hereditary factors, infections, metabolic abnormalities, physical strains which hasten wear and tear of joints, and an overactive immune system causing inflammation.

Arthritis


Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (also known as Degenerative Joint Disease or DJD) is a disease characterized by the degeneration or ‘wear and tear’ of articular (joint surface) cartilage usually accompanied by an overgrowth of bone (osteophytes), narrowing of the joint space, sclerosis or hardening of bone at the joint surface, and deformity in joints. This is the most common form of joint disease, sparing no age, race, or geographic area. Osteoarthritis affects more than 21 million people in the United States alone.  This form of Arthritis is more common in males before the age of 45.  In women, Osteoarthritis is diagnosed more often after the age of 55. Heredity, injury, fractures around a joint surface, and overuse are the triggering factors of Osteoarthritis. The disease may occur secondary to an injury to the joint due to a fracture, repetitive or overuse injury, or metabolic disorders. Symptoms for Osteoarthritis include joint stiffness, which usually lasts for more than 15 minutes, swelling, and tenderness around the joint. There may be pain upon joint motion which is made worse with activity or weight-bearing and relieved by rest.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
RA is a common form of Arthritis that causes inflammation of joints and that can also affect internal organ systems. It affects women three to five times as often as men. The peak age of incidence is between the ages of 40-60. Approximately 33% of patients will not be able to work after only 5 years and after 10 years, over half will have substantial functional disability. About 66 million people are afflicted worldwide by this disease. Possible causes of RA are hereditary factors, infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, and fungi), and autoimmune disease (where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues leading to inflammation in joints and other vital organs). Symptoms of RA include fatigue, loss of energy, lack of appetite, low-grade fever, muscle and joint aches, and stiffness.

Septic Arthritis
Septic Arthritis is a bacterial infection within the joint that can lead to severe erosion of the joint surface and may progress to systemic illness. It is caused by a direct invasion of joint space by various microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, mycobacteria, and fungi).  Symptoms of septic arthritis include fever, chills, as well as joint pain, swelling, redness, stiffness, and warmth. Joints most commonly involved are large joints, such as the knees, ankles, hips, and elbows. In people with high risk factors for joint infection, unusual joints can be infected, including the joint where the collar bone (clavicle) meets the breastbone (sternum). Risk factors include diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, cirrhosis, cancer and kidney disease. Approximately 20,000 cases of Septic Arthritis occur in the United States each year.

Gout

Gout

Gout is an inflammatory form of Arthritis associated with elevated uric acid levels, intra-articular crystals, and sudden onset of pain and swelling of joints. Gout can affect people with different levels of intensity and frequency, sometimes consisting of one attack and no other problems. Other people may have frequent attacks, with persistent joint pain and damage in one or more joints. In some cases, the uric acid crystals can accumulate inside the joint and within the surrounding soft tissues. These deposits are called tophi and can cause significant joint damage over the years. Statistics indicate that about 5 million Americans currently suffer from Gout.

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)
Ankylosing Spondylitis is a chronic, systemic type of Arthritis that affects mostly the spine and sacroileac joints. It affects up to 500,000 people in the United States. Unlike other forms of Arthritis which usually affects the elderly, AS is more common in individuals between the ages of 17 and 35. It is most common in males usually onsetting before age 45. About 75% of Anklosing Spondylitis patients have back pain complaints. Other symptoms are morning stiffness, fatigue, uveitis, and low grade anemia. Ankylosing Spondylitis is believed to be genetically inherited, but an environmental factors like infections promptsthe disease to manifest and to develop more abruptly.

Bursitis
Bursitis is inflammation of a bursa, a tiny fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. There are 160 bursae in the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. Injury and infection can cause Bursitis. Symptoms include localized pain, swelling, and tenderness. Bursitis which does not involve infections can be treated by rest, and anti-inflammatory and pain medications. However, Infectious Bursitis may need further treatment such as antibiotic therapy, surgical drainage, and bursectomy (removal of the infected bursa sac).

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis affects approximately 200 million women throughout the world. It is a condition that causes weakening of the trabeculaer (bridges that keep the bones strong). Some of these bridges break microscopically making the bones more susceptible to fractures. The most commonly known Osteoporosis is post-menopausal, in which the balance between breakdown of bone and new bone formation (remodeling) favors loss of bone. There is a precursor to Osteoporosis called Osteopenia (a condition where bone mineral density is lower than normal).  There are secondary causes of bone loss, such as use of prednisone or other corticosteroids, other drugs (heparin, high thyroid hormone replacement, phenytoin), alcoholism, low testosterone levels, gastrectomy, hypogonadism, hyperthyroidism, or osteogenesis imperfecta. Symptoms include chronic lower back pain and loss of height or curving of the spine.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
SLE is an inflammatory disease that can affects joints, skin, muscles, and other internal organs. It is an autoimmune disease characterized by acute and chronic inflammation of various tissues of the body. Variants of this condition include discoid lupus, drug-induced lupus, limited cutaneous LE (lupus erythematosus), and mixed or overlapped syndromes. No precise reason for Lupus is known yet, however, heredity, viruses, excessive exposure to ultraviolet light, and certain medications are believed to trigger occurrence of the disease. The disease can affect all ages but most commonly begins from 20 to 45 years of age, and is eight times more common in women than in men. Symptoms include fatigue, low-grade fever, loss of appetite, muscle aches, arthritis, ulcers of the mouth and nose, and inflammation of the lining that surrounds the lungs and the heart. About 5 million people throughout the world is affected by Lupus.

Western Medicine
Western medicine relies on aggressive and costly prescription drugs and surgery to deal with joint problems. These methods generally address only the symptoms and not the underlying causes. Resorting to pain killers and analgesics for joint pain is not a long term solution. As soon as you stop using the drugs, the problem returns! Also these prescription drugs often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects.

Prescription Drugs

The options for drug treatment are bewildering: Acetaminophen, Analgesics, Aspirin, Azathioprine, Chloroquine, Corticosteroids, Cyclophosphamide, Cyclosporine, Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), Hyaluronan Injections, Hydroxychloroquine, Leflunomide, Methotrexate, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Opioids, and Sulfasalazine.

The combined COMMON side effects of these drugs include acne, back pain, bronchitis, burning sensation, coughing, diarrhea, difficulty sleeping, dizziness or lightheadedness, dry skin, flushing headache, heartburn, increased appetite, increased sweating, increased hair growth, indigestion, loss of appetite, mild hair loss, mild nausea, muscle aches, nervousness, runny nose, sinus infection, sleeplessness, stomach pain or upset, tiredness, urinary tract infection, vomiting, weakness, and weight loss.

The combined SEVERE side effects of these medications include severe allergic reactions (rash; itching; hives; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue), chest pain or tightness, blood in the urine, calf or leg pain or swelling, coma, confusion, coughing up blood, dark urine, dizziness, fever, chills, or sore throat, increased or painful urination, menstrual changes, mental and mood changes, mouth sores, muscle pain or aches, one-sided weakness, pale or fatty stools, severe or persistent nausea, swollen and/or peeling and/or blistered skin, vomiting, or diarrhea, shortness of breath, stomach pain, unusual bleeding or bruising, unusual growths or lumps, unusual weakness or fatigue, vision changes or vision loss, and yellowing of the eyes or skin.

Surgical Procedures
Surgery should be considered as a last resort because it is complicated and carries great risk. Death is always a possibility when general anesthesia is used. Possible complications include infection, blood clots, loosening of the prosthesis (artificial extension that replaced the joint), dislocation, prosthetic breakage, and nerve injury. Patients with severe deformity from advanced joint disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, long standing osteoarthritis and trauma, face greater risks of complications. Common surgical procedures are as follows:

  • Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an examination or treatment of damage of the interior of a joint is performed using an arthroscope. An arthroscope is a type of endoscope inserted into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopic procedures can be performed either to evaluate or to treat many orthopaedic conditions including torn floating cartilage, torn surface cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming damaged cartilage. This surgery can be done in shoulders, wrists, knees, and the spine. Recovery rates depends upon the patient's overall health.

  • Arthroplasty or Knee Replacement Surgery replaces the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to relieve pain and disability caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and physical injury. The operation involves substantial postoperative pain and vigorous physical rehabilitation. The recovery period is 6 weeks or longer during which time assistance is required for walking.

  • Joint Replacement for Elbow, Wrists and Shoulders uses metal alloys and polyethylene (plastic) to eliminate pain and restore mobility to elbows, wrists or shoulders. Such surgery is only recommended when all other conservative treatment options failed.
Ayurvedic Medicine

Ayurvedic Medicine

Ayurveda, the science of life, prevention, and longevity, is the oldest and most holistic and comprehensive medical system available.  Its fundamentals can be found in Hindu scriptures called the Vedas - the ancient Indian books of wisdom written over 5,000 years ago.  Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind, and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature.

India Herbs has a seasoned group of Ayurvedic doctors specialized in Kaya Chikitsa, one of the eight major specialties of Ayurveda that deals with Internal Medicine. It is the branch of Ayurveda that offers therapies for purification and detoxification. Kaya Chikitsa dwells deep into defining the root cause of a disease and prescribes the therapeutic use of various herbal medicines and holistic treatments for enhancing the capabilities and vigor of your body's healing capabilities while strengthening the body and overall well-being.

India Herbs' Kaya Chikitsa doctors combine a proprietary herbal formula based on centuries' old wisdom with advice on diet, exercise, mental training, and relaxation to help men and women recover from joint injuries.

Recommendations
You can optimize your recovery from joint injury and ensure long-term joint health by:

1) Reversing Damage - Years of stressful living caused damage to your body. To help reverse this, JointMender releases hundreds of phytonutrients that act at the molecular level to heal joint injuries and restore suppleness by delivering targeted nutrition, reducing pain and inflammation, stimulating circulation and metabolic heat, lubricating joints, promoting cellular regeneration, and preventing auto-immune response.

2) Maintaining a Healthy Weight – By maintaining a healthy and reasonable weight, you will decrease the load on your joints. This reduces further wear and tear of your cartilage. Weight loss reduces joint pain and helps prevent the progression of Osteoarthritis. Weight loss of only 15 pounds can cut knee pain in half for overweight individuals with Arthritis. Losing as few as 11 pounds can cut the risk of developing knee Osteoarthritis by 50 percent in women.

3) Avoiding Food High in Purines - Uric Acid is found in high-purine food. High levels of Uric Acid triggers joint pain and aggravates Gout and Arthritis. You should avoid eating internal organs such as heart, liver, and kidneys. Refrain from using sea salt and replace it with regular iodized salt in your daily diet because sea salt increases Uric Acid levels. You should also avoid excessive intake of chicken, beef, pork, seafood, fish, beans, oatmeal, wheat germ, asparagus, peas, spinach, and mushrooms. These food items have purine content, though not in high levels.

4) Avoiding Milk - There had been a widespread notion about the excellent benefits of milk for overall bone health. But recent scientific research has identified a multitude of problems associated with milk-protein intake. The latest studies show that far from protecting bones, milk actually increases the risk of Osteoporosis by eroding bone-making cells. This is due to the high-acidity of milk absorbed by the bones that causes the depletion of its bone-making cell reserves.

5) Increasing Omega-3 Fatty Acids - Essential fatty acids, Omega-3 Fatty Acid in particular, provide lubrication for the joints. They also reduce inflammation in the joints that are the source of pain. Recommended daily dosage is 600 to 1,000 mg. Excellent sources of Omega-3 include salmon, flax seeds, and walnuts.

6) Increasing Vitamin D Intake - Vitamin D generally protects the joints and bones. It plays an important role in the inhibition of calcitonin release from the thyroid gland. Calcitonin acts directly on osteoclasts to inhibit bone reabsorption and cartilage degradation. It also modulates neuromuscular and immune function and reduces inflammation. A daily dose of 400 to 800 units of vitamin D is recommended. Good sources of Vitamin D include salmon, tuna and eggs.

7) Increasing Calcium Intake - Calcium supports bone structure. 1 percent of the total calcium supply in the body is utilized for muscle contraction, blood vessel expansion and contraction, secretion of hormones and enzymes, and transmission of nervous system's impulses. The other 99 percent of the body's calcium supports bones and teeth structure. Calcium facilitates the continuous remodeling of the bones. A daily dose of 1,200 mg is recommended. Good sources of Calcium include soybean milk, brocolli, cabbage, and oranges.

8) Exercising Regularly – Combining low-impact routines such as swimming or walking with strength training (weights) and stretching exercises like yoga or Pilates are best for joint care. Strength-training exercises must be done three times a week. The 1 to 2 days rest in between work-outs allows the muscles to rebuild and become stronger. Strength exercises enhance the ability of the muscles to withstand resistance. Stretching exercises and conditioning exercises, also called Aerobics, improve cardiovascular fitness and flexibilty. Certain stretching exercises are advised to be done daily. Among these are the Spinal Rotation Stretch, which relaxes the hips, the rotator muscles of the lower and mid-back, and the ligaments that support the disks; the Towel Stretch, which increases mobility in the shoulder girdle; and the Cat-Dog Stretch, which helps improve flexibility of your spine essential for any type of movement or activity. All these will help reduce stiffness in the joints and reverse or delay further damage. Keeping your heart rate at its target heart rate zone (50-85 percent of your maximun heart rate) for 20 minutes three or more times a week with brisk walking or jogging is a good for cardiovascular health.  A healthy cardiovascular system is essential for transporting nutrients to your bones and muscles and carrying away inflammatory fluids and toxins.

9) Maintaining Proper Posture – Stretching at regular intervals releases tension from your joints and keeps them from stiffening. This is especially applicable if you work long hours at a desk. Maintain good posture. Keeping your legs hip width apart and throwing your shoulders back is the right standing position. When you sit, keep your feet, knees and hips at 90-degree angles. Poor posture can lead to constant, acute, and chronic pains such as lower back pain, stiffened shoulder, neck discomfort and weak core muscles. It also increases risk factors for auto-degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis due to weakening of muscles and increased pressure on joints.

10) Relaxing – Stress is linked to increased inflammation in your body which can lead to joint problems. You can relieve stress by practicing relaxation methods such as meditation, deep breathing, and chanting. A calm state of mind has a positive effect on one’s overall health as well.
