How does arthritis develop?

Healthy joints, including strong bones, are formed mainly by essential minerals in the collagen matrix. The joint contains a capsule containing synovial fluid that protects the ends of the bones from the impact of adjacent bones and cartilage, because the synovial fluid effectively lubricates the joints.
Joint fatigue and dietary imbalances can lead to acidic conditions. Cartilage is degraded in acidic fluids and the effects of synovial fluid become worse. The loss of cartilage is present in both cartilage and bone, causing the ends of the bones to become unsmooth and forming bony spurs (large skeletal processes). Inflammation caused by this may limit the movement of joints.
Acid people can cause a lot of calcium loss. Calcium imbalance can cause calcium accumulation in soft tissues and cause muscle pain. The ends of bones in patients with wind warm arthritis can fuse and fuse together.
Many diseases can cause arthritis, and the following are more common in clinic:
Osteoarthritis: also known as degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis. Bone hyperplasia is closely related to human aging, most of the elderly may be accompanied by bone hyperplasia, naturally easy to get osteoarthritis. Clinical data show that the prevalence of osteoarthritis is only 2% among people under 45 years of age, while the prevalence rate of people over the age of 65 is as high as 68%. In doctors' eyes, people suffer from varying degrees of osteoarthritis in their old age.
Rheumatoid arthritis: the disease is often manifested as small joints (fingers, joints, wrists, etc.) pain, and the incidence of joint symmetry. 80% of rheumatoid arthritis patients are between 35~50 years old, but the elderly and young children can also be attacked. Because of the complicated relationship between heredity, infection, environment and immunity, it is impossible to cure the disease completely. It can only control the disease and maintain the joint function through the medication.
Ankylosing spondylitis: more than the performance of the spine, sacroiliac joints and other axial joint lesions. Etiology is not clear, generally believed that genetic factors, environmental factors interact. The disease is more common in men, the age of onset is more than 40 years old, serious can lead to deformities of the spine and joints, and affect daily life.
Reactive arthritis: inflammatory joint disease triggered by factors such as the intestinal system and urinary system. Reduce infection rate, improve immunity, have certain prevention and cure function.
Gouty arthritis: arthritis caused by the crystallization and deposition of urate crystals. Most of the disease is acute unilateral arthritis, which is characterized by sudden redness and swelling of the big toe and pain as the main symptom. The course of the disease lasts for one week or so, but it is easy to recur. Prevention is to change lifestyle eating habits, eat less visceral, seafood and other foods induced uric acid.
