One such condition is osteoarthritis, a rheumatic musculoskeletal disorder characterized by severe pain in joints and inflammation. According to WHO musculoskeletal diseases are one of the major causes of disability and morbidity across the world. Many of us deal with it each day and depend upon medications or surgery to get rid of this and prevent it from getting more grave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

hellomyyoga:<\/strong> What causes osteoarthritis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Vineeta:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Use & age cause Osteoarthritis. It is a wear & tear condition of the joint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Joint which bears weight & is engaged in repeated movements suffers most. Knee Joint bears our body weight & is used constantly during walking, jogging, running, climbing, descending & many other movements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The other commonly affected joint for Osteoarthritis is intervertebral Joint. i.e. Joint between two adjacent vertebrae. They are also called as facetal joints. Osteoarthritis of facetal joints is called Spondylosis.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    hellomyyoga:<\/strong> Which science do you believe in to relieve knee pain or osteoarthritis? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Dr. Vineeta:<\/strong> Allopathic medicines that relieve pain are very effective, but they do not correct the inner changes in the joint nor they help in healing. On the contrary, they produce local side effects like acidity & their prolonged use may damage liver or kidneys. Hence their use should be minimized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    hellomyyoga:<\/strong> Is the female population more vulnerable to osteoarthritis? What suggestion you would give them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Dr. Vineeta:<\/strong> Yes, the female population is more vulnerable to Osteoarthritis. This is commonly observed in women after menopause. Hence they keep on complaining about knee pain, low back pain, and neck pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The wear & tear of joints ( Osteoarthritis) can be prevented or delayed by working on muscles. Women should give just half an hour to work on their muscles. That too at home,in the form of selective Yogic Postures. When muscles are strong, our skeleton becomes strong & efficient.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
