    I thought this was a discussion forum. My mistake. It looks like more of a controlled discussion forum. Not what Im looking for.

    Let’s say you have osteoarthritis – perhaps the most common disorder of locomotors system. It is often treated with a surgical procedure to clean out debris in the joint, using a miniature scope inserted directly into the knee. But more and more researchers point out fact that the surgery works, but no better than other treatments. Dr. Kalousek is a rheumatologist from Spa-resorts.cz says – surgery doesn’t stop the arthritic process.

    For example American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) encourages patients to consider physical therapy as an effective non-surgical option for osteoarthritis treatment.

    Doctor Kalousek confidences that beside therapeutic spa treatments everyone can protect joints from osteoarthritis or for sure slow its progression simply by following recommendations:

    -Lose weight. Remember that every pound lost reduces the load exerted on the knee for each step by four kilogram.

    -Be active. Exercise strengthens the muscles around joints, which can stop cartilage from wearing down.

    -Stay straight. Good posture protects the neck, back, hip and knee joints.

    -Don’t sit still. Switching positions can decrease joint and muscle stiffness.

    -Lift cautiously. Use your strongest & biggest joints and muscles when lifting or carrying to avoid straining smaller joints.

    -Break it up. Rest between phases of heavy activity to prevent repetitive stress on joints that can accelerate wear and tear.

    In other words therapeutic treatment is a good alternative of surgical operation for many patients!
