Arthritis is inflammation of one, or usually several, joints. There are many different types. The most common is osteoarthritis, which is caused by damage or wear and tear, affecting the smooth, shiny cartilage that covers the end of the bones where they come into contact.

The affected joints become stiff and painful, and in time the bone around them becomes roughened and knobbly. This happens to some extent to all of us, but in a small minority the osteoarthritis becomes severe and crippling.

Knobbly fingers and knees are almost universal in people after middle age, and osteoarthritis can also affect the hips, big toes, the neck and the lower back. Sometimes it develops in joints damaged by repeated small injuries - in footballers' knees for example.

Osteoarthritis is a slow disease - unlike some other forms of arthritis which may progress rapidly in young adults.

If you have one or more joints that have gradually become stiffer and more uncomfortable over a period of years, the most likely cause is osteoarthritis. If you think you may have it, you should see a doctor to check the diagnosis. But there is also plenty you can do to help yourself.

Firstly , try magnetic therapy. Arthritis is without doubt the biggest excuse people use to try magnetic therapy. It ultimately leads to the same reaction - "I wish I'd tried it years ago!".

Just to prove a point, here's a quote from an email (I get lots like these):

"3 months ago I bought a magnet therapy insert for my pillow to help the arthritis in my neck, I didnt really think it would work but a friend told me to try as it had worked for her. After a few days my neck felt much better and 3 months on I am very happy to say that the migraines I used to get regularly have nearly gone altogether."

But the fact is, don't just try magnetic therapy…there are many other natural therapies that will beat your arthritis pain.

Best of all, as they are natural, you can try as many as you like to find the one that works for you.

It is a shame, but all doctors can do for arthritis is prescribe pain killers. Yet there is so much you can do to beat the pain. In fact, I think you'd be surprised at the different ways to find relief - one will work for you - you just have to find the right one.
