Arthritis and Reflexology for the Spirit
The next two posts will concentrate on the issues of Arthritis.
Arthritis is a word used to describe over 100 diseases causing joint pain. It’s definitely a spiritual disease. It’s important for a person who seems to be suffering from arthritis to get a diagnosis from a rheumatologist. That’s the first step in going down the path to proper treatment.
An example of this would be that some arthritis sufferers (as with rheumatoid arthritis, for example) are dealing with an autoimmune condition and the Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner would reflex the feet a certain way based on the autoimmune disorder.
The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis. It’s a leading cause of pain and disability in older adults. This is caused by loss of articular cartilage in joints. The joints most affected are hands, wrist, neck, lower back, hips, knees. Risk factors include obesity, heredity, and improper diet.
The best way to combat arthritis, regardless of the kind, is to use a team approach. The arthritis sufferer’s team should include a rheumatologist, Reflexology for the Spirit practitioner, physical therapist, nutritionist, acupuncturist, and a primary medicine practitioner.
The next post will continue with the emphasis on arthritis.
Thank you for reading this post.
Peace and food for all
