ARTHRITIS: Before the Cortisone Shot: Joint Inflammation, Calcium Deposition, and Your Body Healing Itself

Arthritis... what is it, really? The word itself: "arth" means joint, "itis" means inflammation. That's all it is, joint inflammation. And why is the joint inflamed? Because your body is attempting to heal it. Inflammation is the healing. This is the great secret hiding inside a word that everybody uses and almost nobody understands. So consider what Medicine does with this. Anti-inflammatory drugs, pain drugs, corticosteroids... their entire arsenal is aimed at shutting down the very process of your body healing itself. It may quiet the pain for a while, sure. Meanwhile the joint gets worse. Much worse. The medical explanation of arthritis is discussed... you're getting old, learn to live with it, there's nothing anyone can do. The same tired story whether it's arthritis in feet, arthritis in hips, arthritis in elbows, hands, knees, shoulders, spine. The famous "bone on bone," which everybody seems to get told, and the joint replacement that follows, are discussed. So-called spinal arthritis is really subluxation degeneration, and this is the heart of the episode. Subluxated vertebrae stop moving right, abnormal forces build, and your body, because it's alive, defends itself... inflammation, scar tissue formation, and finally calcium deposition. Those frightening calcium deposits on your X-ray? That's your body protecting a vertebra from fracture. Intelligent. Purposeful. And Medicine calls it a disease. A joint needs proper motion and proper nerve supply, and it gets neither while subluxation remains. With correction through the chiropractic adjustment, over time, like stopping a speeding train, degeneration slows, stops, and yes, to some degree can reverse. I've seen it with my own eyes, whatever Medicine says is impossible. You're alive. Therefore you can heal. The question is whether you have the will. Medicine says impossible. Your Innate Intelligence never got that memo. Listen.    Be well, Don Harte, D.C.
