Movement is life . Going forward means to develop , to evolve . If you ’ re not moving forward , you ’ re stagnating and your life loses sense or reason . The same thing works for the actual movement of the body . Just imagine how difficult life gets when your movement is limited . And what if it hurts too ? You may say that should this be the case , you ’ d find a doctor immediately and let the pain go away . Unfortunately this is not the usual way of reacting to this kind of problem for many people who ’ d rather hide that there ’ s something wrong than do something about it . And the pain is not the first sign of an impending problem either ; it is a further stage which would have never occurred , had the person done something about it earlier . How would you know you have an orthopaedic problem and what should you do about it ? Let us give you some advice .
First of all it is important for you to know that there is nothing to be ashamed about . Millions of people across the world are suffering from degenerative joint disease ( osteoarthritis ) nowadays . What exactly might this be , you may ask ? Degenerative joint disease occurs due to the loss of articular cartilage – cushioning at the end of your bones – within your joints . When our growth is finished and we become an adult , the cartilage is fairly thick , firm and rubbery . For many reasons , however , this state doesn ’ t last .
The causes of degenerative joint disease are numerous , starting with genetic predispositions , mal-alignments in the axis of your body or with different kind of injuries which can start a degenerative cascade without you even noticing . Some of those problems ( such as genetics ) cannot be cured ; most of them however can be prevented or eased once they appear . The greatest factors here are the proper nutrition , a healthy lifestyle and preventive medical care .
Eat the Problem Away
You would be surprised to know how many health problems can be avoided or solved through balanced eating habits . The proper selection and use of food can help you , for example , with a complete body detoxification ; it can speed up the regeneration of your cells and general recovery after various interventions . A healthy eating plan has a great impact on the quality of your skin as well and the general condition of your body – and among all else it can help you significantly with the problems of your musculoskeletal system . For example , did you know that vitamin D deficiency can cause arthritis ?
The amount of food you intake can also determine the possibility or level of your problems with movement , as per each pound you gain you add four pounds of force on your knees . It is not surprising then that overweight people tend to suffer from many kinds of orthopedic problems signifi-

When the Problem Occurs
A change of lifestyle may not be enough to ease your pain and solve your problems once they have occurred . More likely you will need a specialist at this stage to help you . As the treatments and recommendations vary depending on your age , your level of activity , your health condition and the level of your pain , there is no universal solution for all . There are , however , several possibilities including the consumption of food supplements and vitamins to increase your fighting chances or injections to provide you with substantial relief .
There are two types of injections which can be recommended for you – cortisone / steroids and hyaluronic acid . The first type usually results in significant pain relief which can last for a few months , as cortisone is a potent anti-inflammatory drug ( you have to consult with your regular physician its application in order for it not to interfere with your other medications because it does raise your blood pressure ). The second type are injections of hyaluronic acid , which tend to be more popular among patients because they do not influence the organism in any major way as the hyaluronic acid is naturally present in our body . Its main functionality is to bind water and activate the growth of collagen fibres . Hyaluronic acid injections can significantly improve your pain for upwards of 4 – 8 months .
Be Your Own Doctor
Did you know that your body can heal many problems it has by itself ? A unique Swiss DNA therapy RegenPlasm ® takes advantage of our own plasma which can repair and regenerate cells as nothing else can . It can order those tired ones to recover and fix the damaged ones . All that needs to be done is to centrifuge it and reapply . “ In a modern orthopaedic praxis PRP ( platelet rich plasma ) treatment is used to treat post-injury states and chronic tendon or fibrous pains as well as degenerative joints disease especially in bearing joints ,” says Dr . Filip Svatoš , orthopaedic specialist of Mediestetik clinic . “ There is a significant improvement of a patient ’ s condition after the RegenPlasm ® therapy or even a complete disappearance of their problems in approximately 70 % cases , which is a great result .”
The foremost orthopaedic specialists have introduced a brand new approach to ligament injury treatments or tendon ignitions ( ex . Achilles ’ s tendon ignition ), arthrosis and so called tennis or golf elbow in the combination of both of the aforementioned . “ New clinical studies show that the ultimate effect of PRP plasma treatment for degenerative joint diseases is significantly amplified by the simultaneous application of hyaluronic acid ,” explains Dr . Svatoš . A method combining both these substances is called RegenMatrix ® and was developed in Switzerland .
“ Undertaking both – RegenPlasm ® and RegenMatrix ® therapy – patients can expect a major decrease of pain and stiffness and a noticeable improvement of the movability of their musculoskeletal system ,” says Dr . Svatoš . “ PRP application also speeds up and shortens the process of healing of acute , chronical and degenerative diseases of musculoskeletal system significantly .”
