How many times have you heard doctors tell you that there is nothing we can do? They tell you that you’ve got arthritis and that there is no cure. If you haven’t heard it yourself, I bet you know a family member or friend who has. Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, is one of the oldest and most common types of arthritis around. It is characterized by the breakdown of the joint’s cartilage. This is the part of the joint that cushions the ends of bones. It causes the bones to rub against each other. This causes pain and loss of movement. It most commonly affects middle-aged and older people. Osteoarthritis can range from very mild to very severe. It affects hands and weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, feet and the back.

There are many factors that can cause osteoarthritis, and although age is a risk factor, research has shown that osteoarthritis is not an inevitable part of aging! There are many causes including obesity, joint injuries and genetics. As a person ages, these defects may cause early cartilage breakdown in the joint which could cause inflammation, a release of enzymes, and more cartilage damage. What if I told you arthritis has a reasonable explanation most doctors and scientists have completely overlooked? What if I told you with this knowledge, it may be possible to slow down the progression of arthritis and ease the pain? And what if I told you I have scientific proof to back it up? Would you be interested?

If you’re not interested yet these statistics might interest you: 20.7 million Americans, mostly passed the age of 45 are affected by Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis most commonly affects women over men. Over7 million physician visits per year are in response to Osteoarthritis. About 80% of Osteoarthritis sufferers report some form of limitation in movement or activities. Knee osteoarthritis can disable you as any cardiovascular disease except stroke. About half of the people who have Osteoarthritis cannot make informed decisions about their treatment because they don’t know the type of arthritis they have. There are more than 100 forms of arthritis there for varying different treatment. Conditions such as Osteoarthritis cost the U.S. economy nearly $65 billion per year in direct expenses and lost wages and production.

Enough of all the boring stuff. Let’s talk about an actual cause of osteoarthritis and a logical solution. First let me ask you a simple question: What happens to the wheels on your automobile if the front end is out of alignment? They wear out of course. And they not only wear out, they wear out faster than they would if the front end was in correct alignment.

So what do you do when the front end of your car’s alignment is messed up? You take it to the mechanic to get an alignment. As soon as he does this, the abnormal stress on your tires stops…and…your tires stop wearing out abnormally. The same is technique applies to your spine and the other joints of your body. The joints in your spine CAN misalign…causing them to unnaturally move or not move at all. Witch ever it is, this can cause abnormal stress and strain. Your joints are like the tires of your car and just like the tires on your car when the front end is out of alignment…your joints wear out. This is…Osteo or Degenerative Arthritis!

How do I know this for sure? Glad you asked. Tapio Vidman, M.D. did extensive arthritis research and found that when he caused a joint to not work right, microscopic damage was detected within 24 hours and PERMANENT degenerative changes took place within 3 weeks! Basically, when your joints misalign and get “stuck,” arthritic changes begin to occur immediately and permanent, IRRIVERSABLE damage may be present within just 3 weeks. So…How Do You Fix This Problem?

It is simple. Take a look at what you did when the front end of your automobile was out of alignment. You went to someone who specializes in detecting and correcting misaligned vehicles. Understand that your mechanic didn’t put something in your gas tank or oil to try to chemically realign your wheels. That obviously wouldn’t make sense. He simply realigned the wheels and that fixed your car. The same is true with your body. What makes you think taking a drug or rubbing some kind of lotion will realign your joints? It obviously won’t. Sure, powerful painkillers may mask the problem for a while. But in the long run they will just wear down.

If you have misaligned joints, they will continue to degenerate and… Chiropractic Helps Align Misaligned Joints! In Your Hands, Knees, Ankles, Feet, Neck, Low Back, & You’re Entire Spinal Column! It makes your joints properly function; you will live a pain free life.
