What is Arthritic pain?
Osteoarthritis is the leading disability in America today. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down over time.
Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips and spine.
In todays society of quick fixes, medications are commonly prescribed for arthritis. Though this may help symptoms the underlying problems presents resulting in the joint to breakdown even more. What is the underlying problem? Biomechanical alterations. This is when the joint does not line up correctly and or there is a muscle imbalance problem. At Regen Revolution, we look at the underlying cause of the problem and fix it. If caught early enough the dwindling spiral of osteoarthritis can be stopped and a future replacement can be avoided.

What causes arthritic pain?
The number one cause is Biomechanical problem that come about from trauma and or repetitive stress. The joint then begins to breakdown over time. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in your joints gradually deteriorates. Cartilage is a firm, slippery tissue that enables nearly frictionless joint motion.
Eventually, if the cartilage wears down completely, bone will rub on bone.
Osteoarthritis has often been referred to as a wear and tear disease. But besides the breakdown 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.
