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 <a href="http://www.spa-resorts.cz/eng/page/health-spa-request-448.html" rel="nofollow">therapeutic spa treatments</a> 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! Let’s say you have osteoarthritis – perhaps the most common disorder of locomotors system.
