Foreword

Hello,

I am Lisa Clark, co-founder of Clarks Osteopathic & Complementary Healthcare. I

would like to thank you for downloading this e-book. I have compiled this book as a

user-friendly, easy to read guide to Arthritis with minimal use of scientific

terminology. It is based on my clinical experience with thousands of patients,

published research, books, DVD’s, studying and attendance of many courses.

Arthritis and its related symptoms and disabilities are the second most common

cause of days off work and a leading cause of GP visits. According to the NHS it is

estimated that 70% of 70 year olds have arthritis. Statistics show that in the UK more

than 1 in 50 men aged over 45 years will visit their GP at least once a year for

arthritic pains. The incidence is higher in elderly women affecting 1 in 10 and women

are more susceptible to result in surgery. Arthritis and its associated symptoms

result in lots of pain and disabilities which may lead to relying heavily on pain

medication and possible joint replacement surgery.

My intention is that by reading this book you will gain a greater understanding of

simple techniques and lifestyle choices that can reduce the effects of joint

inflammation and improve joint function. It is my strong belief that prevention is far

better than cure!

In addition to receiving useful information on how to manage joint pain, in this e-

book, you are also included in our exclusive newsletter subscriber list. This entitles

you to some cutting edge information on health, wellness and injury prevention, all

delivered to you at regular intervals each month. Each edition will feature valuable

tips, health plans, expert advice, video and audio lectures and informative articles to

keep you healthy and living without pain. You can share this excellent resource of

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a generic term used for joint disorders

causing pain, inflammation, stiffness and swelling, in

one or multiple joints in the body.

In our Osteopathic clinic we see people on a daily

basis seeking advice and treatment for their joint

pain, swelling and reduced range of motion. There

are many conditions associated with the above

symptoms especially arthritis, either as a primary

complaint or secondary effect from an existing

condition.

Current literature states that there are over one hundred different forms of arthritis!

In the clinic we have seen people presenting with many conditions that cause joint

aches and pains, such as: inflammatory bowel disease, Crohns, colitis etc., lyme

disease, reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout & pseudo

gout, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis and osteoarthritis and many

more. For the general purpose of this e-book, information provided in this literature

is intended for the most common form of arthritis, known as Osteoarthritis.

However in the section ‘what you can do to prevent arthritis’ the general

information is beneficial for many forms of arthritis.

Arthritis Facts - did you know?

The symptoms of arthritis are mainly noticed physically, but it also exacts a

mental, emotional and economic toll. It is believed that Roman Emperor

Diocletian exempted citizens with severe arthritis from paying taxes.

Arthritis afflicts about forty million men, women & children in America –

about one out of every seven people. This gives it the distinction of having

the highest incidence rate of all disabilities and health conditions among U.S

adults. It is also the number one cause of chronic disability in the United

States.

In the U.K more than 1 in 50 men aged over 45 years will visit their GP at least

once a year for OA, which rises to approx. 1 in 10 in elderly women.

In the UK one in five visits to the GP is due to symptoms of Arthritis.

In the UK arthritis and related conditions are the second most common cause

of days off work.

In the UK it is estimated that 70% of 70 year olds have arthritis (NHS Choices)

85% of the human population will experience pain in their joints at some

point in their life.

Many animals are also affected by joint pain; dogs and horses are especially

prone to joint pain.

What is Osteoarthritis (OA)?

Osteoarthritis (OA) gets its name from the

Greek word “osteo” of the bone, “arthro”

joint and “itis” meaning inflammation. It is

also known as osteoarthrosis, joint

degeneration or general ‘wear & tear’ and

affects around 8 million people in the U.K.

Common Symptoms of Osteoarthritis

Joint Pain

Joint inflammation

Joint Swelling/ Joint Effusion (can lead to deformity)

Stiffness, especially first thing in the morning

Pain during the night, waking from sleep, especially when moving in bed

Warmth emanating from both the joint and the area around the joint

Redness of skin around the joint

Reduced ability to move the joint, limited range of motion

Fatigue

Frustration!

What joints are affected by OA?

OA affects both the larger weight

bearing joints such as the knees, hips

and spinal vertebrae and the smaller

joints i.e. the hands and feet, although

any joint and its surrounding cartilage can be affected. Apart from the joint pain,

swelling and stiffness symptoms may also include joint locking, redness and heat and

occasionally ‘giving way’. Joint effusion is also associated with osteoarthritis.

Beating Arthritis


Page 9

What causes Osteoarthritis (OA)?

Possible causes of OA have been stated to be affected by age, genetics, weight,

congenital or pathogenic, injury/trauma, loss of coordination leading to over

stressing joint mechanics. There is also strong evidence to show a poor diet that

lacks nutrition, not consuming adequate levels of clean water and a stressful lifestyle

also affect our mind and body’s level and ability for healing and resilience to injury

and stress.

The Process of Osteoarthritis

Initially the cartilage around the bones is ‘worn

down’ and can expose the bone surface in the joint,

this can cause swelling and inflammation which

makes it harder to carry out a full range of motion in

the joint, which has an effect on muscle tone. The

increased swelling and degeneration of cartilage can

lead to ligament laxity which may cause the ‘giving

way’ feeling that some patients experience with

osteoarthritis.

During the process of joint degeneration the water content of the cartilage reduces,

which has an effect on the ‘shock absorbing’ abilities of the cartilage and makes it

susceptible to damage and deterioration. As these bits of cartilage ‘debris’ enter the

synovial joint space (area in the joint) the body will try to break them down and

remove them. There is an attempt by the body to improve the articular cartilage

surface (cartilage around the end of the bone) by sometimes forming osteophytes or

‘bony spurs’, which can be a painful process. Put in simple terms, it involves the

breakdown of cartilage within joints so that the bone is exposed and bone on bone

rubbing causes pain, swelling, decreased joint space and restricted joint movement,

inflammation, redness and heat. Ouch!

Beating Arthritis

What can I do to slow the effects of Osteoarthritis?

Joint pain can have a variety of symptoms and treatments. With the correct

healthcare provider, you can manage arthritic pain effectively. There are many

options to reduce the effects and a few arthritic disorders can become completely

pain free.

Regarding osteoarthritic conditions the goal of treatment is to control pain and

minimise further joint damage. Therefore a treatment plan is individualized to a

patient’s specific needs and the extent of existing joint degeneration.

Exercise and stretching

A regular exercise and stretching routine are

important to keep the body mobile and flexible.

It can help to:

Reduce pain

Increase range of motion in a joint

Reduce stiffness

Reduce fatigue

Increase flexibility, muscle strength and endurance

Strengthen muscles around the joints

Improve overall ability to do day-to-day activity

Strengthen and maintain bone and cartilage tissue

Improve health and fitness by increasing energy levels, improve sleep quality,

assist with weight control, improve overall cardiovascular health, decrease

depression, improve self-esteem and emotional health.

“Regular, moderate physical activity is beneficial in decreasing fatigue, strengthening

muscles and bones, increasing flexibility and stamina and improving an overall sense

of well-being” Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity and Health.

Beating Arthritis


Page 11

Recommendations for exercise

A balanced programme that takes into

consideration your individual needs and includes a

combination of exercises is best. A full range of

motion exercises to help maintain joint movement,

increase flexibility and relieve stiffness.

Strengthening exercises to maintain or increase

muscle strength, can help to support and protect

joints affected by arthritis.

Endurance exercises to improve cardiovascular

fitness, and improve well-being. An example would

be swimming or water aerobics as exercising in water relieves the weight on sore

joints.

Taking walks in nature is great exercise. Research has shown that those who take

brief daily walks have less morning joint stiffness and pain than those who do not

exercise.

Cycling or short bike rides provide a good way to get movement without putting too

much strain through the joints. You can also use a stationary exercise bike at home

or just the pedals that you can place in front of a chair and do the cycle movement

whilst seated. Exercising with light weights can help to strengthen joints.

Beating Arthritis

Important exercising guidelines

Before beginning an arthritis exercise program,

you should consult your GP, Osteopath or

Specialist, especially if you have not exercised in a

while, have had any surgical procedures or

additional health complaints

Start gently so you can find out how much

you are able to do without making the pain

worse.

Little and often’ is better than long,

infrequent bursts of activity!

Gradually increase your exercise in small amounts but regularly. If you take it

too easy the body will adapt quickly and you may not get the optimal

benefits.

Be adventurous! Find a form of exercise which is fun and which you enjoy. As

long as you listen to your body and do what makes you feel great.

Nutrition & Arthritis

You Are What You Eat! Every cell in your body is

made from what you eat and drink on a daily

basis, therefore it would seem logical that in order to reduce joint pain, swelling,

inflammation and arthritis you would need to minimise the foods that cause

inflammation and increase the foods that reduce inflammation. With the increased

use of chemical fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides and rodenticides on crops our soils

are being depleted of nutrients, the animals eating the crops are receiving a variety

of medications which in turn have an effect on us, adding more stressors for our

detox organs and body to deal with.

Consuming higher quality fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, raw dairy

(unpasteurised), wild caught fish, organic free range meat are all optimal for

improving health. However in our clinical experience removing gluten and dairy

products from your diet greatly helps regarding joint inflammation.

This is a vast subject and there is no one diet that suits

all! One person’s medicine is another person’s poison.

When it comes to nutrition, eating for your correct

metabolic type greatly improves symptoms and

promotes healing. Essentially what that means is eating

the correct combination of fats, proteins and

carbohydrates and in the correct ratios for your specific needs. These are what the

body uses to function and rebuild with, so the more they are denatured, unnatural

and sprayed with chemicals the harder it is for the body to break them down.

Foods high in omega 3 fats such as oily fish, help to reduce inflammation. Hormone

free sources of fats and oils are good such as Coconut oil, Avocados, Olive Oil. The

best fruits are berries as they contain high levels of antioxidants which help reduce

inflammation.

Beating Arthritis

The Benefits of Water & Salt on joint health

Water has many functions in the body; we are

practically 80% water.

Cartilage within the joint is about 85% water which can

decrease to 70% as we age. Joints and cartilage in the

body are dependent on lubrication for movement. If

the body is not supplied with sufficient water for its

needs it will prioritise, taking water from joints to

supply other areas, mainly the internal organs. This

may result in long term insufficient water levels for the

body and can predispose us to tissue damage, pain, degenerative changes to the

joint cartilage and many different health problems. It is advisable to consume

adequate levels of water to reduce joint pains and reduce caffeine and alcohol intake

as these deplete the body of water and minerals. Remember, apart from the obvious

one of urinating, some other examples of how we lose water from the body via

sweating, breathing, coughing, sneezing etc.

Salt also plays a key part in maintaining health: I am

referring to salt from a natural source, unrefined sea

salt which contains minerals that the body requires.

We need salt as it pulls water into the cell and

therefore helps us hydrate adequately. The balance of

water and salt in the body is essential for optimal

bodily function. So just drinking lots and lots of water

with low levels of salt will just mean you have to use

the bathroom a lot!

Beating Arthritis


Page 15

Supplements

The best advice I was given regarding natural supplements is that they should NOT

be treated like a medication; it is not as simple as taking a random supplement to

reduce pain. Supplements will enhance the effects of correct nutrition. They may

offer many short and long-term benefits that have proved an invaluable addition to a

joint health plan.

It is optimal to consult a specialist who may test you for low levels of vitamins and

minerals and offer advice about what combination of supplements would be best for

you. Please remember the quality of a supplement is important: general rule – you

take rubbish you get rubbish!!

The most common supplement questions we’re asked in our clinic, from people

with arthritis or joint pain are:

Is Glucosamine any good for my joints?

Of the many different forms of Glucosamine on the market. Glucosamine Sulfate, in

Beating Arthritis


Page 16

research studies has shown to be of benefit with symptoms of osteoarthritis.

What about Vitamin D?

Vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium and there is some evidence that arthritis,

both OA and inflammatory types, progresses faster in people with deficient levels of

Vitamin D.

Vitamin D is produced by the body when the body is exposed to sun-light, hence a

slight deficiency is common in winter.

Should I take cod liver oil?

Cod liver oil has high levels of omega – 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA which reduces

inflammation. It also contains vitamins A & D. It has been shown to reduce

symptoms of osteoarthritis. If you are taking cod liver oil please check it is cold

pressed and of guaranteed purity.

Spending time to source out good quality supplements is essential. Taking poor

quality supplements can be counter-productive by creating more work for the body’s

detox organs!

As mentioned previously, I would highly recommend getting advice from a qualified

practitioner when it comes to buying/taking supplements. It is also advisable to find

out if the interactions between prescription medications and supplements will be

affected. For example high levels of folic acid will affect how methotrexate reacts in

the body!

Beating Arthritis


Page 17

Hot & Cold Therapy

Use of hot or cold therapy over joints may provide short-term relief from pain and

stiffness. Always wrap a tea towel or pillow case around the cold pack or heat pack

before applying to the joint. If the joint is red hot and swollen you may need to use

just the ice pack until some of the swelling has reduced. Applying the packs little and

often is most effective.

The Importance of Rest and Relaxation

Rest is a very important and integral component of any joint pain management plan.

Getting eight hours sleep per night is optimal and taking short naps of no longer then

15mins throughout the day will give your joints time to recover and may even reduce

the number of flare-up recurrences. It is when we rest that the body will engage in

tissue repair, so scheduling in rest time is as important as scheduling movement.

Pacing activities helps to protect joints by alternating periods of activity with periods

of rest so that joints do not get sore from repetitive movements.

Engaging in activities that give the mind a rest is helpful to optimize the bodies

healing potential, for example reading a book.

Beating Arthritis


Page 18

Manual therapy

Massage treatments have been proven to increase

circulation and decrease tension throughout the body.

Aside from feeling great, the beneficial effects of massage

will help you relax, improve your mental fitness and

experience temporary relief from pain.

Maintaining good posture

Maintaining spinal curves: when sitting place a small

cushion or rolled up towel in the lumbar curve (lower

back) this will assist with not allowing the head to lean as far forwards and putting

extra stress on the joints. Postural assessments are beneficial to aid a programme to

correct posture.

Regular Movement

Avoid sitting for long periods of time, if you have to stay in one position for longer

than 30minutes, find ways to shift your weight around and stretch to reduce

stiffness in the joints. Again, little and often is best. Even if you are bed or chair-

bound due to pain you can still do off weight bearing movements that help to reduce

joint stiffness.

Earthing and its healing effects

Put simply this means having contact with the healing energies of the earth! How

does earthing help with arthritis? Clinton Ober, Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D and Martin

Zucker, foreword by James L.Oschman, PhD, present information in their book,

entitled “Earthing”, about the healing benefits of earthing for both acute and chronic

disease, taken from research and observations. Some of the benefits include:

Reduces or eliminates chronic pain

Defuses the cause of inflammation, and improves or eliminates the

symptoms of many inflammation – related disorders

Improves sleep

Increases energy

Lowers stress and promotes calmness in the body by cooling down the

nervous system and stress hormones.

For example a really easy way to practise this is by sitting or walking barefoot

on the grass. There are also conductive devices that you can use whilst inside

i.e. whilst sleeping, sitting or working.

Beating Arthritis


Page 20

Comprehensive Assessments

As previously stated, arthritis is a vast and complicated subject. There are many

different causes and types of arthritis. Most people receive significant benefit from

having a comprehensive physical assessment and treatment programme. Although

manual therapy cannot cure arthritis, there are many different therapies available

which can offer pain relief and improve joint function.

On a daily basis in our osteopathic arthritis clinic we see people presenting with

various different arthritic symptoms and I can say with experience that in most

cases, a thorough assessment coupled with an effective treatment and home

lifestyle/exercise programme significantly improves the quality of life of most

arthritis sufferers. You can call us or any suitable registered practitioner for an

assessment.

Top 10 tips to help prevent joint pains and arthritis

This section is aimed at giving useful tips that can help with prevention of arthritis

and will therefore be beneficial for many different forms of arthritis

1. Stop smoking! It has been shown that the risk of developing some forms of

arthritis significantly increase due to smoking.

2. Maintain a healthy diet, eating right for your metabolic type.

3. Drink adequate fluid levels. I am referring to clean filtered water, not caffeinated

or fizzy drinks.

4. Follow your body’s natural circadian rhythm by getting adequate sleep, which is

essential for healing. Get to bed by 10pm! Our natural sleeping rhythms are from

10pm-6am.

5. Reduce stress! Make plans of action to address areas of excessive stress in your

life. It is not possible to avoid all stress; however you can help your body by

maintaining good blood sugar levels and keeping hydrated. These simple things can

greatly help the body to reduce inflammation.

6. Only partake in correct exercise and movement that’s specific to you! There’s no

point going crazy in the gym if you’ve got no energy. First increase your internal

energy, good examples of this may include tai chi, yoga, walking in nature, or just

taking time to yourself.

7. Supplement your diet if you are not getting the nutrients your body needs to

maintain health. Get advice from a qualified practitioner.

Beating Arthritis


Page 22

8. Early diagnosis and treatment is key! Early treatment will enable you to prevent,

minimize and may even reverse joint damage depending on the type and cause of

your arthritic condition.

9. Stop/reduce alcohol and caffeine intake, this causes dehydration affecting joint

and cartilage health.

10. Stop Sugar! Apart from its negative effects on general health it also exacerbates

joint pains. Sugar is also the best way to feed fungus and bad bacteria in your body,

which has a major implication on joint pains and arthritis and many chronic

conditions.

Beating Arthritis

Final Thoughts

I hope you have enjoyed reading this book and have gained a greater insight into

some of the areas that may help you improve the health of your joints. Prevention is

the best place to start. It is optimal to invest your time and energy into creating a

‘healthy you’ than trying to repair from trauma or damaged joints. Please remember

that joint pains can be seen as a warning signal that something needs to change!

Never accept that you just have to live with pain, in my experience it is always

possible to achieve some level of improvement, whether that be reduction of pain or

increased function.

I wish you good health!
