Introduction Arthritis is a joint lesion with joint pain as the main symptom. There are many causes of arthritis, such as septic arthritis caused by bacterial infection, rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis caused by autoimmune or allergy, gouty arthritis caused by metabolic disorders and trauma caused by trauma. Arthritis, etc. Excessive joint fatigue and dietary imbalance can lead to acidic physique. When cartilage is soaked in acidic body fluids, it will degrade and the lubricating effect of synovial fluid will also deteriorate. Lost cartilage components are present in both cartilage and bone, causing the ends of the bones to become unsmooth and form spurs (large skeletal processes). The resulting inflammation can limit the movement of the joint.

Cause

1. Healthy joints include strong bones, which are formed primarily from essential minerals in the collagen matrix. There is a sac containing synovial fluid in the joint that protects the ends of the bone from the impact of adjacent bones and cartilage because the synovial fluid can effectively lubricate the joint.

2. Excessive joint fatigue and dietary imbalance can lead to acidic constitution. When cartilage is soaked in acidic body fluids, it will degrade and the lubricating effect of synovial fluid will be worse. Lost cartilage components are present in both cartilage and bone, causing the ends of the bones to become unsmooth and form spurs (large skeletal processes). The resulting inflammation can limit the movement of the joint.

3. Acidic people will cause a lot of calcium loss. The imbalance of calcium balance will cause calcium to accumulate in soft tissues, causing muscle pain. The bone ends of patients with rheumatoid arthritis will join and fuse together.

The tenderness of the shoulder is obvious. After a few months, the shoulder muscles are atrophied and calcification may occur.

4, jaw joint pain is a manifestation of temporomandibular joint disorders. Patients often have chronic pain at the unilateral or bilateral temporomandibular joints. The pain can be radiated to the back of the ear, the mouth opening activity is limited, and local traction pain occurs. The joints of the temporomandibular joint often appear to be crisp and often chew. Things, yawning, getting worse by the cold.
