Arthritis Dystrophic

Arthritis is a joint disease that can have various causes and manifestations. One of the most common forms of arthritis is the dystrophic form. Dystrophic arthritis occurs when the cartilage tissue of the joints is damaged. This causes the joints to stop working normally, causing pain, limited movement, and bone deformities. In this article we will look at dystrophic arthritis, its nature, symptoms, causes and methods of treatment.

What is dystrophic arthritis?

Arthritis dystrophy is a chronic form of joint disease that occurs as a result of damage to cartilage tissue. Cartilage is a protective layer that covers the surfaces of joints and ensures their flexibility. When cartilage becomes damaged, joints become less flexible and bones begin to rub against each other.

Symptoms of dystrophic arthritis can vary depending on the degree of damage to the joints and their location. Some of the symptoms include:

- Pain and discomfort in the joints when moving or exercising - Feeling of discomfort in the affected joint, even when resting or at rest - Swelling and redness around the joint - Lameness or difficulty moving the limb - Weakness and loss of sensation in the affected parts of the body

Cause of dystrophic arthritis Dystrophic arthritis can occur for various reasons, but most often it develops as a result of injury or chronic overload of the joints. For example, in the case of gonarthrosis, associated with age-related degeneration of cartilage tissue, this disease occurs mainly in people over 50 years of age.

Chronic overuse of joints can occur due to excessive physical activity, awkward posture, or repetitive movements. Joint trauma, such as a fracture, torn ligament, or sprained tendon, can also lead to cartilage degeneration.

Treatment of dystrophic arthritis Treatment of dystrophic arthritis includes a set of measures to reduce pain and discomfort in the joints, improve mobility and prevent further damage. Here are some treatments for dystrophic arthritis:

Drug treatment - prescription of medications
