JOINT INFLAMMATION is a very painful, with multiple sets of conditions (100), progressively leading to joint damage, deformity and loss of mobility. Swelling of extremity joints is the hallmark of the syndrome. Chronic pain, disability and death are unfortunate results.

Joint inflammation problems include:

  • pain
  • stiffness
  • damage to joint cartilage (the tough, smooth tissue that covers the ends of the bones, enabling them to glide against one another) and surrounding structures.

Below you will find discusson on how Chinese medicine, pain herbs and food therapy are employed to bring these conditions back to balance.

  

UNDERSTANDING JOINT INFLAMMATION?

JOINT DYSFUNCTION doesn’t take place suddenly and once grasped, can be transformed faster than you can appreciate. According to Chinese medicine, the primary problem underlying arthritis is obstruction with painful results. With varying degrees, there is an exhaustion of both the Liver and Kidneys and insufficiency of the physical energy (qi). The blood develops obstruction due to cold weather or internal damp-heat or drying imbalanced characteristics. The condition includes:

  • cold or hot and painful joints
  • difficulty in flexing and extending the joints
  • aversion to cold or hot with attraction to the opposite condition
  • In some cases the limbs and joints will be aching, numb, painful
  • overall physical body feels heavy.
  • tongue is a light pink or dark red

     

There are graduating arthritic conditions where the site of pain and deformity is more intense, with heat or cold predominating, however, the primary appraoch is to get the obstruction to move. This is done by changing the internal environment by opposing the wind-cold/hot-damp/dry and altering any external conditions contributing to the obstructions. Further consideration needs to be focused on the general emotional state that may ultimately support the obstruction.

 

HOW DO WE GET BETTER?

JOINT INFLAMMATION: FOOD THERAPY  & CHINESE MEDICINE

“We are what we eat.” Most of us would agree that most conditions of imbalance are determined by what we put in our mouth. We unintentionally produce imbalances by not being conscious of how important this concern is, particularly in the mid to elderly years.If we select foods and supplements which break down our homeostasis then it would benefit us to become very attentive to our constitution and foods which improve equilibrium. Below, you can begin to choose foods that deliver balance for this obstructive condition: 

Foods That Benefit & Foods To Avoid

Don’t Play With Shoulder Pain

Chiropractic and Shoulder Pain

Like the rest of us, you probably ask a lot of your shoulders. They are expected to execute a large number of movements in the course of your day. This assortment of involved motion aids you in doing what you need to do in your life - at work and at play. If you’re suffering from shoulder pain, it’s probably because you’ve been overworking your shoulders. In other words, you might be taking part in repetitive activities such as lifting and other arm actions, especially those done overhead, like throwing a baseball, swinging a golf club or tennis racket, or just setting objects on high shelves. These types of repetitive actions can irritate the nerves in the area, place stress on the joints, and create wear and tear of the tissues surrounding the joints. Although, if your shoulder is healthy, these repetitive motions shouldn’t cause pain. However, if you are experiencing pain in your shoulder, it is a sign that there’s a condition that requires attention.

Shoulder muscles frequently become tight, and even weak, if the nerves are inflamed, and motion is painful and limited. This commonly takes place in the ligaments and a group of muscles (and their tendon attachments) known as the rotator cuff. These muscles and tendons attach your upper arm bone with your shoulder blade plus they help secure the ball of your upper arm solidly in its shoulder socket. It is the consequence of this elegant combination that affords the opportunity for the most significant range of motion of any joint in your body.

The extremity of this shoulder impingement syndrome can range from a slight “catching” pain with movement (particularly raising your arm overhead), to a nearly complete loss of ability to use the shoulder. It is very important not to either ignore your shoulder pain or continue an activity while in pain. It is vitally important for you to get help for your shoulder problem as soon as possible because the problem will only go from bad to worse. Unfortunately, if left untreated, some shoulder challenges, such as Rotator Cuff Syndrome, often end up requiring surgery and an extended rehabilitation. Your chiropractor in Santa Barbara knows just what to do to get you out of pain, and is a specialist in diagnosing and treating muscular-skeletal dysfunction.
