Resulting due to damage caused to the different joints in our body, arthritis is a group of conditions that makes movement of limbs, especially around the joints very painful. A protective capsule holding a lubricating fluid surrounds each joint which helps in movement. Apart from this, the joints are covered with a slippery smooth substance called cartilage that ensures an even, fluid motion of the joint.
Joint arthritis is a condition where the cartilage may be narrowed, damaged or lost due to degeneration. Inflammation in joints may result in them being swollen, tender, or warm to the touch or red in colouration and causes joint pain and restricted movement of joints. Infection, age or trauma to the joint can lead to over 100 different forms of arthritis, and the Kalari system of treatment for arthritis through Ayurveda is extremely efficient in bringing relief from different types of arthritis.
