Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that affects the joints. It is no coincidence that the final "dare" indicates the degenerative process, while "artron" from the Greek means its own articulation.

To highlight this disorder are X-rays, from which we can clearly see any bone deformation and its stage with possible damage to bone heads or formation of osteophytes. Also and above all the cartilage is affected.

Inflammation usually occurs in the hands, knees or shoulders but can also affect the cervical tract, with very painful consequences.

There is a secondary arthrosis that results from a trauma and is localized in bony points that have suffered a backlash or a strong fracture, for example after an injury.

Also nutrition plays a fundamental role and sometimes arthrosis derives from an excessive and habitual consumption of sugars and animal proteins or dairy products, all foods that put a strain on the internal balance of the organism.
