Rheumatic complaints

Rheumatism can affect the joints, the hips but cause muscle strain, and is often difficult to diagnose because there are over 100 subtypes of rheumatic complaint. The treatment options vary depending on the cause.

A common denominator is that the disease will affect the connective and supporting tissues of the musculoskeletal system, the skin and the internal organs. Even young people can be affected by rheumatic complaints. If rheumatic complaints can be treated by self-care, or if they require medical care, depends on whether rheumatism, a degenerative rheumatic disease is present, if it is an inflammatory form, or whether it is a metabolic disease with rheumatic symptoms. Where rheumatism has become a chronic disease, it is important to consider alternative, non-drug treatments, to prevent drug dependency and severe side effects. In addition to cold and heat treatments, massages and physiotherapy, TENS is one of the best forms of treatment. By using electrical stimulation therapy, the blood supply to the affected areas is improved, and the pain signal from specific nerves can be interrupted for pain relief. TENS can also be applied many times in one day without any problems. It is also an advantage that it can be self-administered by the sufferer after the doctor has shown them how to apply it. This often means that need for pain-killing drugs is avoided and also therefore the side effects.
