Hip arthrosis, symptoms and natural treatment

What is hip arthrosis?

Hip arthrosis or coxarthrosis is a chronic disease that occurs due to long-term disorders of biomechanical relationships in the function of the joint. It belongs to the group of degenerative diseases of the joints. The most affected joint is the hip joint. The hip joint is the junction of the femur and pelvis. It is one of the most stable and strongest joints in our body, and it allows the body to move. It performs movements in all directions and serves to transfer the weight of the upper body to the lower extremities (very important for balance when moving). The hip joint withstands uniform stress during walking and movement, which often leads to damage to the joint and the possible occurrence of hip arthrosis. Hips are joints that are among the structures that withstand a large part of the load of a person’s total mass – because of this, they are extremely susceptible to injury, but also to degenerative changes…

With hip arthrosis, the cartilage material in the joints deteriorates due to wear. Hip arthrosis (coxarthrosis) is a disease of the hip joint, caused by the wear of the cartilage on the head of the femur (os femoris) that is articulated into the pelvis (os coxae). Cartilage stabilizes the joint and protects it from damage. Deterioration of cartilage function can cause restricted movement and severe pain. There are two types of arthrosis. Primary arthrosis is a genetic form of the disease. This form of the disease can last a lifetime without being noticed. Secondary arthrosis is caused by external impact such as overweight, medications, poor diet, heavy physical exertion, older age and many other factors affect this problem.

The first symptoms of hip arthrosis

Features of hip arthrosis are typical for arthrosis of any joint in the body. The specificity of hip arthrosis is that its occurrence takes place in two phases, – the phase of “prearthrosis” and arthrosis. The prearthrosis stage is usually difficult to recognize clinically. To put it simply, at this stage, the initial changes in the hip joint occur that will lead to true arthrosis, but there are still no symptoms of the disease or they are negligible. True degenerative changes in the joint will lead to the appearance of the first symptoms. When we talk about symptoms, arthrosis most often begins with imperceptible and slowly progressing symptoms such as fatigue and occasional pain. The range of motion in the hip decreases more and more, the surrounding muscles atrophy and limping occurs. The main symptom of hip arthrosis is pain in the hip, which initially occurs when walking, and when the disease has progressed, it also occurs at the moment of rest. The pain begins when the patient begins the first few steps of the day, i.e. after the resting phase, until the joint is stretched. His mobility is limited, and often a person feels pain even when he puts on shoes. Later, constant pain occurs during movement, even at rest (advanced stage of the disease), crepitation (the sound of “crackling” the joint) and there is difficulty moving.

As the disease progresses, the pain spreads, sometimes to the knee, and movements such as bending or climbing stairs become more difficult and painful. In relation to a healthy joint, in a joint affected by arthrosis, we find a narrowing of the joint space, degenerated cartilage, bone outgrowths (osteophytes), and sclerotherapy of bone tissue in the immediate vicinity of the joint, sometimes with the appearance of cystic formations. Due to the specificity in the nerve innervation of the joint, sometimes transferred pain in the knee occurs, and for this reason it is important to check the condition of the hip with any knee pain. The rapid progression of hip arthrosis means that all cartilage material will deteriorate in the foreseeable future. Then the unprotected ends of the bones will rub against each other. This usually causes severe restrictions of movement and pain.

How to prevent and treat hip arthrosis in a natural way?

First, let’s start with vitamins….The most important vitamin you need is vitamin b3! Vitamin B3, also called niacin, is an important lipid-altering vitamin, and is water-soluble. It plays an incredible role in converting carbohydrates, fats and proteins into fuel for cells. It promotes cell health and protects our DNA. Research shows that it significantly protects against throat and pharyngeal cancer. Vitamin B3 is an important vitamin for maintaining a healthy heart and metabolism, plus it helps balance blood cholesterol levels. In addition, it helps with brain function, skin health, and even the prevention or treatment of diabetes.

Vitamin B3 has many health benefits that I have talked about many times on my channel… For today, the most important thing for you to remember is that this is a vitamin that promotes joint health, and today we are thinking about hip strain. In fact, studies have found that increased niacin intake may be associated with lower levels of joint pain plus reduced inflammation associated with conditions like hip arthrosis. As a treatment for osteoarthritis or bone and joint pain, niacin is usually prescribed in high doses due to its anti-inflammatory effects. Reducing inflammation can help reduce arthritis symptoms and help with hip joint function in a natural and safe way….

What are the recommended daily doses of niacin for adults? Men: 16 milligrams per day, Women: 14 milligrams per day, pregnant and lactating women: 17-18 milligrams per day. FOODS RICH IN VITAMIN B3: ORGANIC LIVER, CHICKEN, BREAST, TUNA, TURKEY, SALMON, ANCHOVIES, BEEF, PEANUTS, AVOCADOS, BROWN RICE, WHOLE GRAINS, MUSHROOMS, PEAS, SWEET POTATOES…

The second vitamin you need is VITAMIN B6! From producing red blood cells to turning food into fuel to boosting mood and immunity, the potential benefits of vitamin B6 and the key ways this water-soluble vitamin affects health are unmatched. It works in conjunction with a range of other vitamins and minerals in the body to optimize almost every aspect of health and supports the function of the liver, blood cells, skin, eyes, nervous system and beyond to make you feel your best. Vitamin B6 also helps the body in maintaining a healthy nervous system, produces hemoglobin which carries oxygen in red blood cells throughout the body, helps provide energy from the food we eat, works to balance blood sugar levels, acts as a natural analgesic, boosts mood and also improves immunity by increasing the synthesis of antibodies used to protect the body. However, the potential vitamin B6 benefits don’t stop there. In fact, studies show that vitamin B6 benefits can also maintain healthy blood vessels, reduce symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, prevent kidney stones, and more to boost your health.

Low levels of vitamin B6 are associated with increased symptoms of hip arthrosis and other forms of arthritis… If you don’t have enough vitamin B6, you will have stronger inflammation, pain, stiffness… RECOMMENDED DAILY DOSE: MEN AND WOMEN UNDER 50 YEARS: 1.3 MG (DAILY),MEN OVER 50 YEARS: 1.7 MG (DAILY),WOMEN OVER 50 YEARS: 1.5 MG (DAILY)… FOODS RICH IN VITAMIN B6: ORGANIC BEEF LIVER, ORGANIC CHICKEN BREAST, ORGANIC MILK, ORGANIC RICOTTA CHEESE, SALMON, TUNA, EGGS, ORGANIC CHICKEN LIVER, CARROTS, SPINACH, SWEET POTATO, GREEN PEAS, BANANAS, CHICKPEAS, AVOCADOS, ONIONS, PISTACHIOS, CHESTNUTS, WATERMELON, ELDERBERRY, MANGO, PINEAPPLE, APRICOTS, GRAPES…

The most important minerals for hip arthrosis

First of all, magnesium… Magnesium is probably the most important mineral in the body, which is why magnesium deficiency can be a big problem. Not only does magnesium help regulate calcium, potassium, and sodium, but it’s essential for cellular health and a critical component of more than 300 biochemical functions in the body.Even glutathione, your body’s most powerful antioxidant that’s even been called the “main antioxidant,” requires magnesium for its synthesis. Unfortunately, most people are not aware of this, and millions suffer from magnesium deficiency every day without even knowing it. About 80 percent of people have low magnesium levels, so chances are you’re probably deficient. Keep in mind: only 1 percent of the magnesium in your body is in your bloodstream, so you can often have a deficiency that wouldn’t even be detected by a conventional blood test.

You need to take care that many people take medication every day, especially drugs called diuretics and proton pump blockers that destroy magnesium in our body. Chronic magnesium deficiency is often seen in diabetics, high blood pressure, heart disease, migraines, cramps, heavy menstruation, depression, osteoporosis, asthma… As I said a moment ago, over 300 enzymes in the body cannot function normally if there is no magnesium. 60% of magnesium is found in bones, 30% in muscles and soft tissues, 6-7% inside cells, and about 1% in the blood. It is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, the production of DNA and RNA and other proteins. It actively helps cell signaling, nerves, muscle contractions and heart function. It reduces high blood pressure and relaxes blood vessels. It prevents heart inflammation and the formation of blood clots. It prevents the onset of diabetes and helps diabetics. When blood sugar rises, people urinate more and thus expel magnesium from the body. Magnesium reduces inflammation (reduces the level of c reactive protein) – which is important for the heart, diabetes, osteoprosis, arthritis, cancer, depression…

Magnesium has many other health benefits… What is the recommended daily dose… It will be about 1000 mg per day if you have hip arthrosis… FOODS RICH IN MAGNESIUM: SPINACH, BEANS, AVOCADOS, SUNFLOWER SEEDS, ALMONDS, ORGANIC SOYBEANS, ORGANIC PEANUTS, WHOLE GRAINS, DARK CHOCOLATE, NUTS….In addition to magnesium, you need calcium of 1500-2000 mg per day, zinc 50 mg per day and copper 3 mg per day….So for hip health, provide yourself with food rich in vitamin b3, b6, magnesium, calcium, zinc and copper… These are the nutrients you need…
