OSTEOARTHRITIS
& RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
There are
various types of arthritis but the two most commonly found in the
feet are Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a
localised condition and is caused due to gradual wear and tear of the
cartilage in the joints. Age, excessive weight, ill-fitting shoes and
trauma (injury) can all be contributory factors to osteoarthritis. In
the case of Rheumatoid arthritis this is a systemic condition and has
the potential to affect every joint in the body.
Arthritis is
usually a very painful condition and is advisable to seek advice and
treatment from your family doctor. In diagnosis of arthritis, a good
complete history including blood tests are used to differentiate
between one arthritis type and another. Also x-ray evaluation to view
the bone structure of the foot and in more advanced cases of
arthritis an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or CT scan
(computerised axial tomography) are extremely helpful.
In most cases,
the ball of the foot is painful due to a lack of the the fatty
padding, leaving the bones on the soles of the feet exposed and
unprotected, combined with this the feet and legs can ache because
they are not being supported properly.
The best and
first line of defense for arthritis is a good supportive shoe but
usually some type of protection and support is required. Adhesive and
replaceable gel pads are useful to protect tender areas or enlarged
joints. When extra support of the arch is required orthotic arch
supports can help to reduce arthritic pains effectivly.

Applied
topically at home Biofreeze can help reduce aches and pains commonly
found in the lower back, neck, shoulder, knee, hip, as well as ankle,
elbow and wrist joints. The result is a deep, long lasting pain
relief period and acceleration of the basic healing process through
relaxation of stiff aching muscles (reports of up to 6 hours).
Biofreeze is the only analgesic with ILEX, a herbal extract from a
South American holly shrub.
