Joint Problems a systematic approach to managing and overcoming them

The term arthritis cure is oft used without justification, but to be fair, its a relative assessment of health versus pain. From the ownerpoint of view, a troubled joint that does not show any symptoms of pain or loss of mobility is cured of arthritis, regardless of what the X-rays may tell. Taking that more pragmatic view of managing or reversing poor joint health, the spiral of worsening arthritis, we spoke of earlier, affords us many places and methods for intervention. A number of these opportunities are taken up by conventional and alternative medicine. But intervention is also possible by physical and psychological management of the symptoms.

Of course, people only get interested/motivated in this area, once their joints become troublesome. Sometimes, even then, they do not heed the wake up call, like the professional sportsman of my acquaintance, I referred to before. Once joints are troublesome, chances are, that the spiral of worsening arthritis is already in motion. The effort to manage the deteriorating joint is then about breaking the spiral perhaps, even reversing it. This is, if you like, is a secondary effort, in the sense that it is more about managing symptoms of pain and lack of mobility, than a more fundamental shift in the course of the disease.

To remind you, we noted that arthritis sets in when "destructive" elements of normal joint management are out of balance, and stronger than "healing" elements. So your options are

1. Reduce an out of control destructive immune process
2. Enhance the impact of the healing process
