Osteoarthrits Treatment

Osteoarthritis prescription drugs are not dinosaurs.
But they are definitely "legacy systems".

It's not uncommon for a prescription drug to take 10 years to go through the lengthy clinical trials and FDA approval process before it's allowed to enter the market. By the time doctors are educated on it, the drug's already old.

We have entered a digital era. Just few years ago everybody was using 28.8K modems. Today, nearly half of the American families have high speed Internet connections. Technology leaps forward. We just can't wait for 10 or 20 years for a new drug to come out only to find that it is an old 28.8K modem.

In many cases, supplements and alternative therapies have become the mainstream treatment measures for diseases. And to a large extent, they are the ones who represent the most current and the most advanced medicine technologies.

Osteoarthritis Treatment - Where we were

Drugs such as paracetamol, codeine and tramadol are pain relievers. COX-based anti-inflammatory medications are used in osteoarthritis to treat symptoms of stiffness. They are very good for controlling the stiffness associated with osteoarthritis, and have brought relief to osteoarthritis sufferers for decades - but at the cost of unwanted side effects, particularly on the stomach.

 What about injections? The injection of a corticosteroid (e.g., methylprednisolone) into a joint can be a useful way to settle down an acute inflammatory flare of osteoarthritis. Local anaesthetic is usually also injected. Although many people like to have their osteoarthritis treated this way, studies have not confirmed any long-term benefit. Another type of injection used for osteoarthritis is hyaluronan. This is like a synthetic joint fluid and involves having three injections spaced one week apart. Studies suggest that benefits may last about eight months, but many doctors remain skeptical.

 Osteoarthritis Treatment - Here We Are!

No FDA-approved drugs currently available can reverse changes of bones and joints in the late stages of osteoarthritis. Current research on osteoarthritis is focused on developing new ways of improving the body's natural repair mechanisms and ways to prevent cartilage breakdown. EZorb Calcium is the result of such research effort.

 EZorb Calcium enhances the body's cartilage repair function and stimulates collagen production. It also optimizes the cartilage matrix and is aimed at permanent osteoarthritis pain relief. Taken initially with pain relievers or anti-inflammatory medication it is the best non-drug alternative to improve mobility and quality of joints, and to reduce disability.*

 Osteoarthritis Tips

• Use straight-backed chairs, firm mattresses or bed boards. Excessively soft chairs, recliners, mattresses and car seats may worsen symptoms.
• Maintain ordinary daily activities, your job and a functional and independent role in your family.
• Heat treatment can help, e.g., dipping a sore hand in a paraffin bath; or soaking in hot or warm baths can soothe.
• Massage by trained therapists, traction and deep heat treatment with diathermy or ultrasound may help relieve osteoarthritis in your neck.
• Protect joints with, for example, splints on fingers during painful jobs.
• For osteoarthritis of the spine, specific exercises sometimes help, and back supports or braces may be needed when problems are severe.
• Appropriate exercise for stretching and strengthening helps keep cartilage healthy, and increases the range of movement in a stiffening joint. It also strengthens surrounding muscle. Exercise must be balanced by rest of painful joints. But immobilizing a joint is more likely to worsen osteoarthritis than improve it.
