Shoulder arthrosism and mud therapy
 


Arthrosis is a degenerative disease which normally hits people when they are in their 60s. It has a hereditary component and it is more common among women. It is the result of a progressive thinning of the cartilage, the bearing between two bones in the articulation, which has the task to avoid friction and attrition in the articulation.
Shoulder arthrosis is the most annoying. It comes from a post traumatic problem in 80% of the cases, or it can result from a simple but wrong movement which has been repeated in time causing a small calcification.
 

 

Symptoms

Increase in the creaks which are a sign of friction between the bones

• Decrease of functionality and mobility

• Progressive pain

• Limited function due also to pain

 

 

 

 

You cannot recover from arthrosis. As it becomes a life partner for those who suffer from it, all we can do is try to hold it back to improve life quality and limit pain as much as possible.
Keep on mobilizing the arthrosic articulation is fundamental, especially with the shoulder, otherwise functionality is reduced to total immobilization.

Thermal mud in Abano, thanks to the chemical composition of the water and the process of maturation it undergoes, is a very effective cure against arthrosis.

   
 

Among the beneficial effects are:

• stimulation of the production of natural “cortisone”, with an anti-inflammatory effect

• stimulation of the production of endorphins, which help to better bear the pain

• stimulation of the production of cartilage (demonstrated by recent studies).

 

   
 

The heat of thermal mud has a myorelaxant effect. The therapy which is complementary to mud, mass therapy and kinesitherapy in the fitness centre and in thermal water, is less painful and the patient can make wider movements right from the first sessions.

Mud therapy is contraindicated in the inflammatory phase, and not recommended to those who suffer from cardiovascular problems.

One or two cycles of thermal treatments every year will allow those who suffer from rheumatism a much better quality of life for the rest of the year.
The name Abano Terme comes from Aponos, and means “which takes away the pain”.
