Have you noticed that opening a jar has become increasingly difficult because of pain in your hands, or climbing stairs or walking longer distances results in painful knees? The most common thought which comes to mind is “arthritis”.
The two most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis which can both cause similar pains and aches throughout the body.
In this article we will discuss osteoarthritis! Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis that affects about 32.5 million people in the United States.
Osteoarthritis is a common bone condition usually affecting patients above 45 years of age. It is a degenerative joint disorder caused due to chronic inflammation or age-related “wear and tear” of the tissues of the joints. It usually affects the joints in the hips, knees, spine and hands.
Osteoarthritis is known to cause pain in the joints along with stiffness, swelling, and restricted mobility. In severe cases, the pain caused due to osteoarthritis is so severe that it begins to interfere with the routine activities of the patients. It is the most common form of arthritis that you may develop.
The pathogenesis of osteoarthritis involves the breakdown of the cartilage in the joints due to which the underlying bone tissues are exposed. These changes occur gradually over several years becoming worse over time.
While osteoarthritis may occur in any of your joints, the most common areas it may affect include your knees, hips, spines and hands. Major symptoms of osteoarthritis may include:
Over time as osteoarthritis progresses, the pain becomes more intense. Symptoms of osteoarthritis may overlap with rheumatoid arthritis or other joint inflammation. So, it is important to monitor if your joints do become heavily inflamed.
PEMF (Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field) therapy refers to an advanced form of treatment that is aimed at supporting the natural magnetic fields in the body. PEMF offers a non-invasive form of magnetic healing that has the potential to boost the body’s healing processes. It basically a battery charger for your body. PEMF therapy introduces a magnetic charge into your damaged cells to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, reduce pain, improve cellular and tissue healing, re-establish healthy cell interaction, and increase energy. Healthy cells are crucial as a good foundation for your organs and tissues and systems to work properly.
Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy offers many health benefits. PEMF therapy directly treats joint pain in several ways:
Let us have a look at the different mechanisms through which PEMF therapy can help improve the prognosis of “joint pain”.
The magnetic energy released by the PEMF devices can create waves that work around the body’s natural magnetic fields thus influencing the movements of ions and electrolytes. This would result in a change in the electrical charge at the cellular level thus restoring normal cellular metabolism. It would also promote cell growth allowing for the regeneration of new healthy cells to occur at the ends of the joints affected due to the wear and tear. These benefits of PEMF therapy would heal the damaged tissues of the joints and synovium, thereby reducing pain and improving mobility.
PEMF therapy would also stimulate the production of extracellular matrix in the joint tissues. It would support the production of collagen that can strengthen the joints and enable frictionless and hence, pain-free movements.
PEMFs modulate inflammation. They regulate pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion to support a healthy and balanced inflammatory response. Cytokines are proteins that can either suppress or activate inflammation. With the reduction of inflammation, pain is also reduced.
PEMF therapy helps injured tissues recover and increases cell communication. This type of therapy helps cells get the nutrients they need to produce energy. This means PEMFs enhance production of ATP, the body’s cellular fuel. When cells are healthier and they have healthier cell membranes they can also detox better to remove all the toxic substances building up inside them.
The cellular growth stimulated by the PEMF therapy would increase the strength of the joint capsule and the number of joint capsule cells making the tissues more resistant to wear and tear and degenerative changes.
The pulses released by the PEMF devices can stimulate the cells and tissues. This would improve the blood flow, restore the normal chemical balance in the cells, and encourage natural healing mechanisms in the damaged tissues of the bones and synovium. PEMF therapy would enhance the body’s natural ability to repair the damaged tissue, thus reducing pain and swelling and improving prognosis.
Eating an inflammatory diet can contribute to the development and symptoms of osteoarthritis while eating an anti-inflammatory and nutrient-rich diet can help. There is no one size fits all approach to diet. However, a few general guides for an anti-inflammatory diet are eliminating all refined sugars, refined oils and processed meats and dairy products, eliminating artificial ingredients, processed foods and junk food. Instead including anti-inflammatory foods such as vegetables, greens, fruits, herbs, spices, nuts and seeds, organic or grass feed meats etc.
Detoxification of heavy metals and other toxins is heavily supported by PEMF therapy. You can include a detoxification formula to help support all detoxication organs, help bind the released toxins and support your body’s ability to eliminate them. Click here for more information.
Start your day with some movement whether it’s stretching, a few yoga moves, a short walk outside or a trampoline workout! Often times we sit for way too many hours in a day which can aggravate or worsen osteoarthritis. Therefore, the goal is to get up from your desk or a chair every now and again to move your body. Make sure you listen to yourself and not overdo it!
Stress and poor sleep can contribute to chronic inflammation and symptoms of osteoarthritis. To reduce stress, you need to find out what works for you, some suggestions include: meditation, breathwork, muscle relaxation strategies, gratitude, journaling and prayer. Prioritising sleep is important to ensure you get between 6-8 hours a night. Create an evening routine to follow for a more regular sleep schedule. Avoid electronics (phone, TV etc.) before bed, limit caffeine, alcohol and anything “stressful” close to bedtime.
Osteoarthritis is a complex condition; however, you don’t always need to experience the debilitating symptoms. You can take control of your health and initiate steps to regenerate and heal your joints with natural strategies, diet and lifestyle changes as well as PEMF therapy.

A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is disrupted. The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients, which are carried to it by blood vessels. When blood flow to the brain is interrupted, brain cells can start to die within minutes. This can cause permanent brain damage or even death. The symptoms of a stroke can vary depending on which part of the brain is affected.
Myocarditis and pericarditis are two types of heart inflammation and damage to the heart muscles. These two conditions can lead to some serious and unwanted consequences. In this blog, we will explore the differences between myocarditis and pericarditis, their symptoms, causes and various treatment options. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium), while pericarditis is an inflammation of the lining that surrounds the heart (pericardium). Both conditions can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms related to heart function.
Athlete’s foot, also known as tinea pedis, is caused by a fungus. It is caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes, which thrive in warm, moist environments, such as sweaty shoes or locker room floors.
The infection often strikes in “athletes”, who tend to have sweaty feet stuck in tight-fitting shoes for long periods of time. However, the rash can affect non-athletes just as commonly – especially if you wear shoes all day and sweat. Athletes foot can also be spread from person-to-person via unwashed clothes, shared towels, and even contaminated floors.
That’s 30 different types of plants across all 6 plant food groups: fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, legumes (beans & pulses), nuts & seeds, herbs & spices. Plant-based foods play a key role in improving gut health by contributing to the diversity of the gut microbiome.
Why?
The more diverse, whole plant-based foods you eat, the more you’re likely to boost the diversity of the trillions of gut microbes you have.
Accidents such as the Ohio train derailment are happening more often than you think. Data collected by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and by non-profit groups that track chemical accidents in the US shows that accidental releases of toxic materials are happening consistently around the US. Accidents can be via train derailments, truck crashes, industrial spills or plant leaks, pipeline ruptures etc.
Getting sick with a virus, feeling unwell and then bouncing back to full health is what we would all wish for. Unfortunately, getting sick and “not” recovering fully is a reality we are facing more and more. Coming down with a viral infection whether it’s for a couple days or even weeks you usually recover without any lasting consequences. However, post viral syndrome is when you suffer with symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, muscle pains, sleep issues, brain fog, dizziness etc. that lasts for weeks, months or even years after the infection.
