What Is Arthritis?

When the joints get swollen and tender, this is arthritis. It may be present in one joint or more than one. It often causes the joints to be stiff and painful, and it generally gets worse with age. The most common kinds are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a painful condition in which the joints are attacked by the patient's immune system. This begins with the joints' lining and continues to get worse. With osteoarthritis, the cartilage, the tissue that covers the patients' bones where the joint is, starts to deteriorate. Gout is another type that is caused by the blood containing too much uric acid. Other kinds of arthritis are caused by various other issues. If you have a disease like Lulus or psoriasis, these can cause arthritis. 

Symptoms of Arthritis

If you have some of the symptoms of arthritis, you may be suffering from a form of the disease. The most obvious symptom is a pain in one or more joints. Stiffness is another common symptom. You may also notice swelling of the joint and find that it's harder to do things that were once easy to do. The joint may become red, and you may notice that your range of motion is decreased.

Arthritis Risk Factors

If you have a family history of arthritis, some types do run in families. If your siblings or parents have this disease, watch for symptoms. Your risk of many arthritis types gets higher as you get older. These types include gout, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Some types are also more likely in men or women. Gout is more common in men while rheumatoid arthritis is more common in women. If you have ever had an injury to a joint, arthritis is more likely to develop in that joint. It may be many years later that it begins to develop. If you have obese, the extra weight can cause stress to the joints, and this gives you more of a risk of arthritis. This is especially true for the spine, hips, and knees.

Cryo Contouring Can Be Used To Treat Stubborn Fat Cells

Cryo contouring can be used to target those stubborn pockets of fat that don’t seem to want to go away. Once people reach adult age, the number of fat cells they have is going to be relatively constant. These fat cells might change size from time to time; however, it can be hard to eliminate these stubborn pockets of cells. Even though people are dedicated to diet and exercise, these pockets just don’t seem to want to go away. The location of these pockets can vary in location from person to person. Everyone carries fat in different areas of their body.

With cryo contouring, a trained provider is going to use a technique called cryolipolysis to freeze away those fat cells. This treatment was under development for years. Now, this treatment is available to help people eliminate those last few pockets of fat. Fat freezing can lead to proven results.

How Does Cryo Contouring Work?

When someone comes to see us for cryo contouring, they are going to receive a non-invasive procedure that can remove pockets of fat. This means that the recovery process following cryo contouring is much shorter than for alternatives, such as liposuction. For example, people who receive cryo contouring are usually in and out in a matter of hours. People can even go back to their daily routines almost immediately. For this reason, cryo contouring has skyrocketed in popularity. Now, cryo contouring is more accessible than it has been in the past.
