Arthritis is long-term chronic pain and currently has no cure. It is an inflammation of the joints and can affect just one or multiple joints. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis affects the joint’s cartilage which covers the ends of bones. This can cause the cartilage to break down and therefore not allow the joint to work properly. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, affects the lining of the joints and is an auto-immune disorder. Both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can cause severe pain for the person and affect the ability to move and grip.
How It Workes...
Reiki healing for arthritis and pranic healing for arthritis can help people with arthritis by reducing the stress and anxiety pressures of managing long term pain. Relaxing the body can also help reduce pain felt in the affected joints. As with all types of chronic pain, lifestyle changes like dietary and nutritional changes can help with exercise, and reiki can work alongside these to keep muscles strong and flexible.
