Types of Arthritis:
Osteoarthritis – The cartilage loses its elasticity. If the cartilage is stiff it becomes damaged more easily. The cartilage which acts as a shock absorber, will gradually wear away in some areas. As the cartilage becomes damaged tendons and ligaments become stretched, causing pain. Eventually the bones may rub against each other causing very severe pain. Rheumatoid Arthritis – Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which your body’s immune system – which protects your health by attacking foreign substances like bacteria and viruses – mistakenly attacks your joints. The abnormal immune response causes inflammation that can damage joints and organs, such as the heart. is significantly more common in women than men and generally strikes when the patient is aged between 40 and 60. However, children and much older people may also be affected.
“With arthritis in both knees, bone on bone, I was in a lot of pain continuously. Even glucosamine shots didn’t help. After the first treatment, both knees felt better immediately and since completion of my series of treatments I have been able to walk around the mall with little or no pain. I feel that laser pain therapy has given me back my life at work and at home.”
