According to the NHS in the UK, arthritis is a common condition that causes pain and inflammation in a joint. In the UK, more than 10 million people have arthritis or other, similar conditions that affect the joints. Arthritis affects people of all ages. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most common types of arthritis. The most commonly affected joints are those in the hands, spine, knees and hips.
But besides the wearing down of cartilage, osteoarthritis affects the entire joint. It causes changes in the bone and deterioration of the connective tissues that hold the joint together and attach muscle to bone. It also causes inflammation of the joint lining. This makes movement more difficult than usual, leading to pain and stiffness.
Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bone and enables joint motion, wears down over time. Should the cartilage wear down completely, bone will rub on bone.
Once the cartilage lining starts to roughen and thin out, the tendons and ligaments have to work harder.
This can cause swelling and the formation of bony spurs called osteophytes.
Severe loss of cartilage can lead to bone rubbing on bone, altering the shape of the joint and forcing the bones out of their normal position.
Osteoarthritis can occur at any age as a result of an injury or be associated with other joint-related conditions, such as gout or rheumatoid arthritis.
It can also be genetic or be caused by physical labour in your work where you create a wearing down of the joint from continuously kneeling, squatting or climbing stairs or by being overweight.
Excessive, extreme sports can also lead to a wearing of the joints allowing space for calcium deposits (calcification) to rest.
Vitali-Chi induces a theta brain wave state which is deeply relaxing. It is this meditative state known as the relaxation response that encourages the body to self-heal. It helps to decrease the production of cortisol, the stress chemical which is responsible for causing pain, inflammation and the ageing process. The cells in your body are able to regenerate stronger and healthier therefore your immune system can become stronger.
