RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS is an inflammatory arthritis in which joints, usually including those in the hands and feet, are inflamed, resulting in swelling, pain and often the destruction of the joints.
Interestingly enough worldwide Rheumatoid arthritis develops in about 1% of the population, regardless of race, country or origin, effecting woman two to three times more often than men. Usually Rheumatoid arthritis first appears between 25 to 50 years of age, but it may occur in any age. When Rheumatoid Arthritis appears in children, the disease is then called juvenile arthritis.
The exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is now quite known as of yet. But generally is it considered an autoimmune disease. Components of the immune system attack the soft tissue that lines the joints and can also attack the connective tissue in many other parts of the body such as blood vessels and lungs. Eventually the cartilage, bone and ligaments of the joint erode, causing deformity, instability and scaring within the joint.
Affected joints enlarge because of swelling of the soft tissue and can quickly become deformed. Joints may freeze in one position so that they bend or open freely. The fingers may tend to dislocate slightly from their normal position toward the little finger on each hand, causing tendons in the fingers to slip out of place. Swollen wrist can pinch a nerve and result in numbness or tingling due to carpal tunnel syndrome.
Rarely, rheumatoid arthritis resolves spontaneously, treatment alleviates symptoms in 3 to 4 people. However at least 1 out of 10 people eventually become severely disabled.
The main categories used to treat rheumatoid arthritis are the non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (Naiads), Corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs. The short term relief must also be balanced with the long term consequences from side effects.
MAGNETIC THERAPY BRACELET - Lets go back to the concept of magnetic therapy as a drug free alternative to pain relief. It is well known that strong medicines of the modern age have their reactions and sometimes result in fatal consequences. Magnetic therapy is the only Natural system of treatment based on natural laws and principles which do not show harmful side effects.
The practitioners of every system of medicine plead and emphasis that while a patient is under their care and is taking their medicine, no other treatment should be given to him side by side, but using a magnetic therapy bracelet does not follow the above general convention. As this system of treatment is based on the natural laws, works in conformity with the nature and is an aid to natural processes of healing, it has therefore, no harmful side effects which could endanger the life of a patient. Magnetic therapy is not perhaps the panacea for all ills, but can be seen as a drug free alternative to pain relief
The treatment of using a magnetic therapy bracelet can be taken alone or along with any other treatment, as it does not interfere with any medical system but helps to accelerate the action of all medicines which have the effect of restoring the ailing body to its normal state in a natural way. I have discussed recommended treatments that your local Doctor may prescribe. Use a magnetic therapy bracelet in conjunction with this and see how you go. Many customers over the years have been able to reduce the level of drugs as the magnetic therapy bracelet is introduced.
All these conditions that I have discussed have the common denominator of muscular inflammation. Inflammation and pain go hand in hand. So how does a magnetic therapy bracelet assist? Scientific studies have revealed that the placing of a magnet on a certain area may lead to an increase in blood flow by about 300 %. This increase allows fresh oxygenated blood to flow to your problem area, flushing out the inflamed material. I like the analogy of the erosive effects of the waves at the beach as they hit the rocks. Slowly washing away the inflammation and pain, it is the same with your body.
Proper circulation is vital to this process and this is why most pain symptoms get worse of a night time or when we go to bed. When we lay still our circulation slows down, this in turn reduces you lymphatic systems ability to reduce the inflammation and pain. By using a magnetic therapy bracelet both day and night times you will help to reduce these problems just by simply increasing blood flow.
What product do you use for your finger and wrist problems? To be truthful with you all magnets do the same job. All we do is provide you with variety of different magnetic therapy products for your pain relief solutions. All our Australian made products will all give you the same result. It's just a case of what product is practical for you daily use.
The Magnetic Therapy Bracelet and Supports are area specific products designed to be worn on the hand. Remember they all do a similar job. Just choose the product that closest to meeting your needs at this time.
- The magnetic therapy bracelet can provide the wearer with a stylish piece of jewellery as well as magnetic therapy at the same time. With many styles on the market it is only a question of what meets you particular taste. From cheap nickel based styles to the more durable stainless steel ranges that are often mistaken for an expensive piece of jewellery and not a therapeutic device. The bracelet can be worn 24 hours a day if required. Just wear it to bed to help curb the night time nasties.
- A magnetic wrist guard made with surgical elastic will provide you with support as well as magnetic therapy. The guard also sits strategically over the wrist where suffers of carpel tunnel need it the most. But remember that wearing magnets on the wrist increase blood flow the extremities of the fingers at the same time.
- In my earlier discussion, most hand and wrist problems begin with the thumb. Magnetic thumb supports have a combination of magnets that sit on both the thumb and acupuncture points that will assist with area specific inflammation and pain.
- The magnetic mitt sits in the centre of your hand allowing magnetic therapy to the whole area. The fingerless tips allows you to wear it of a day time but generally speaking I this product as something to wear to bed for acute problems. A great product for stroke victims that loose control over their hand..
- Let's not forget the magnetic body studs. Powerful little magnets that you place on the pain area utilizing plasters to hold them in place. With over 500 public speaking venues over the last ten years, I cannot speak long enough of their positive benefits. Thousands upon thousands of times I have seen pain relief in customer's hands and fingers in as little as 40 minutes.
