Understanding Arthritis

While we generally associate arthritis with aging, people of all ages suffer from the condition. Nearly 22% of all adults in America have arthritis. It is one of the leading causes of work disability, accounting for more than $300 billion in lost wages and medical care annually. For many, joint pain and stiffness make daily living a chore.

Don’t let arthritis pain limit your options and activities — QC Kinetix can help with our  regenerative medicine treatments for arthritis pain relief.

Arthritis is a chronic disease affecting the joints — the places where bone meets bone and movement occurs. The joints swell, becoming tender and inflamed, causing pain, stiffness, swelling, and impaired range of motion. Arthritis can compromise your favorite hobbies and activities, leaving you crippled by pain and desperate for some sort of arthritis pain relief treatment.

Arthritis is not a single disease; it refers to joint pain and several forms of joint disease. There are over 100 types of arthritis and related conditions. These conditions can have rapid onset symptoms or can be gradually degenerative. While arthritis is more common in older women than men, the condition can also be triggered at any age by injuries, such as torn ligaments or bone fractures.

Arthritis Types, Causes, and Symptoms

Most forms of arthritis, like osteoarthritis (OA), are associated with age and overuse. But arthritis can also affect people who have had injuries or joint surgeries. In addition, there is an entire class of arthritic diseases related to autoimmune conditions, like rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

RA can become quite severe, where the symptoms include loss of appetite, anemia, inflammation of the immune system, and even joint deformity if left untreated.

All joints contain a strong and flexible tissue called cartilage, which acts as a shock absorber to protect the joints and bones. It provides a cushioning effect within each joint whenever you move. If the cartilage breaks down, friction increases in the joints, causing significant pain. Arthritis in the hands or wrists can make typing or playing an instrument an agony. When it sets into the lower back or hips, walking, sitting, and standing, as well as more complex activities, can be excruciating.

Arthritis resulting from wear and tear is osteoarthritis (OA). Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder. People suffering from RA have immune systems that attack their tissues for reasons that are not completely understood. This attack also affects the synovium and synovial fluid (lubricating liquid in the joints) and damages the joints significantly.

Conventional Arthritis Pain Relief Treatments

Many arthritis pain relief treatments have been developed with varying levels of success in alleviating pain. Conventional approaches range from hot compresses and other localized heat treatments to anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroids, and surgery.

Some doctors prescribe painkillers or anti-inflammatory medications. Counter-intuitively, ongoing exercise and stretching can help diminish the pain. Some care providers urge massage or physical therapy. Others use immunosuppressants to reduce joint inflammation and relieve arthritis pain. Sometimes, corticosteroid injections are used to treat severe pain.

When all other arthritis pain relief treatments have failed, your doctor may recommend surgery to repair, replace, or even fuse the affected joints. However, surgical approaches to arthritis pain relief are complex, with significant risks and potential complications. Many such surgeries are unsuccessful and simply increase the pain and further restrict your range of motion. When the surgery is effective, it also causes a long, painful recovery with risks of infection, joint stiffness, and damage to the blood vessels and nerves.

Surgical arthritis pain relief treatments injure the body in order to reach the surgical site. Many fear the added pain of surgery, the anesthesia, scar tissue build-up, potential risks, and lengthy recovery required.

There may be specific severe cases where joint replacement surgery is necessary. But for those searching for genuine arthritis pain relief without surgery, there is QC Kinetix.

QC Kinetics takes a different approach. Our non-surgical methods for treating arthritis go to the source of your pain, employing a variety of natural and biologic arthritis pain relief treatments. Rather than mask your pain, our therapies work to rebuild the damaged joint tissues to resolve the pain at its source.

What Is the Best Treatment for Arthritis in the Lower Back?

QC Kinetix's lower back and hip arthritis pain relief treatment stimulates your body’s inherent healing capabilities and focuses on the source of your pain to repair and rejuvenate the damaged joints. Let’s take a closer look at how regenerative therapies compare with surgery.

When you have a cut or scrape, your body repairs the wound. And if you break a bone, your body knits it and gradually undoes the damage. Conventional surgery also relies on your body’s regenerative abilities: After the operation, the incision is closed, and you must wait for your body to heal.

Regenerative medicine relies on your body's innate abilities without resorting to surgery. So there’s no added pain, no need for anesthesia, no cause for scar tissue, and no risks of complications. Instead, our biologic therapies stimulate your body’s natural healing mechanisms and train them on the damaged joints. As your body works to repair and heal the tissue damage, your arthritis pain resolves.

Living With Arthritis in the Lower Back

Living with lower back pain is challenging. Sitting, standing, and walking are exhausting when you have unrelenting pain and stiffness in your back. It hurts to bend, twist, or lift, and basic daily tasks like bathing and dressing are a chore.

Yet, it’s critical that you continue to exercise and stretch so you don’t lose further range of motion. Focusing on strengthening the back muscles and your core can reduce pressure on the spine and the weak disks and joints. Weight management helps lighten the load on the back.

Icing arthritis flare-ups and using heat at the pain site can bring temporary relief. And sufficient rest — lying down with good posture — is essential.

In addition to these proactive steps, QC Kinetix can help you find lasting relief from arthritic pain. Follow our regenerative medicine blog to learn more about alternative treatments for arthritis pain relief.
