What is Arthritis?
Simply put, arthritis is the inflammation of a joint due to the loss of cartilage and/or lubricating fluid within the joint capsule. Forms of arthritis may include: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, juvenile arthritis, lupus, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatic fever, bursitis, fibrositis, scleroderma.

In Australia, 4 million sufferers, that is about one in five Australians suffer arthritis pain. In America, 80 million people suffer from some form of arthritic pain, making it their most common chronic disease, responsible for nearly 20% of all medical visits. Almost 15 million Americans are classified as disabled by arthritic joint disease.

The Johns Hopkins Arthritis Centre defines rheumatoid arthritis as a chronic disorder for which they have no cure. However, recent changes in the traditional approach towards over-prescribing disease-modifying drugs combined with the availability of new non-invasive, natural therapies with Thermomedic arthritis treatment therapy clothes can greatly improved the outcomes that can be expected by RA patients.

Who Is at Risk of Developing Arthritis?
Women are twice as likely to be affected by arthritis pain as men, however, rheumatoid arthritis, the worst form, affects three times as many woman as men. Further, the most frequent sufferers of lupus are younger women generally between the ages of 20 and 40, whose first symptoms may appear during pregnancy.

Sometimes referred to as the "old person's disease," arthritis can affect babies, children, teenagers (juvenile arthritis) and young adults. One in every two families in America has a member who is affected by arthritis pain.

Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, such as glucocorticoids, methotrexate and  leflunomide have demonstrated varying degrees of efficacy and, for many arthritis sufferers, they may be accompanied by adverse effects. Pain killers only mask the problem, often with side-effects such as toxicity, bleeding, cramps, headaches and nausea. Further, pain killers do not offer the prospect of remedial improvement.

What Safe, Natural Arthritis Treatments Can I Use?
There are now natural and safe options to help you relieve lupus, arthritis pain and symptoms of joint disease. Using the scientific principles of far infrared thermal energy, Thermomedic Therapy Garments assist to improve circulation, diminish inflammation and soreness by easing pain and joint stiffness. This means arthritis sufferers are less reliant upon costly medication to enjoy a quality life-style.

According to Chris Copeland, Head of Research & Development at Thermomedic Therapy Garments, "The body naturally tries to repair itself and by reducing our reliance on pain killers and drugs with the support of Thermomedic non-toxic and safe therapies we can assist this vital healing process."

Research indicates that far infrared therapy is also a safe preventative measure for athletes and 'at-risk' individuals whose family history and life style factors indicate a possible predisposition towards developing arthritic conditions. Far Infrared arthritis treatments are lead-free and safe to use for long term therapy.

Are There Any New Arthritis Cures?
There may be new hope for an arthritis cure following the 2005 discovery of the enzyme that is responsible for the destruction of cartilage in inflammatory arthritis and lupus symptoms. A team of scientists from the University of Melbourne’s Department of Paediatrics and Murdoch Children's Research Institute in Australia are the first to report a single enzyme deficiency that could protect sufferers against painful arthritis.

Dr Amanda Fosang says "cartilage is found throughout the body, most notably covering bone endings in joints such as the knee and hip. A large molecule called aggrecan gives cartilage its unique capacity to bear load and resist compression and it is this substance that is broken down in arthritis. The result is a weak cartilage and painful joints. Our new findings identified a single enzyme called ADAMTS5 which was the main culprit for aggrecan breakdown,”

The Australian researchers plan further investigations into ADAMTS5 and its destructive role in arthritic conditions.

Recommended Arthritis Treatment Devices
Thermomedic Therapy Garments are recommended as appropriate pain management tools to help arthritis sufferers live healthy and independent lives. Since gentle exercise is prescribed as an important treatment to help reduce arthritic pain and stiffness thermomedic therapy clothes with far infrared provide the necessary  firm compressive support for afflicted arthritis joints to enable remedial activities.

What Is Rheumatoid Arthritis?
A painful and progressive autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis is the inflammation of the membrane that lines the joints throughout your body. This inflammation can lead to distortion of the joint which impairs function, causes pain, stiffness and swelling. It can ultimately lead to irreversible joint damage and permanent disability. Wearing thermomedic thermal compressive joint supports relieve pain, assist improved joint mobility and reduce swelling and symptoms associated with rheumatoid arthritis pain.

Juvenile arthritis is a term covering those diseases whose cause is unknown. It is associated with symptoms of pain in the joints occurring in children aged under sixteen years old.
