In their book Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Drs. Moore,
Dalley and Agur has this to say about Degenerative Joint Disease; “These
degenerative changes in joints result in the articular cartilage becoming a
less effective shock absorber and lubricated surface” (pg 28). Some of the
causes of osteoarthritis is trauma. Once the joint has lost its lining on the
cartilage, any movement in the joint becomes increasingly vulnerable to the
repeated friction that occurs during joint movement. At this stage many make
the mistake of refraining from using the joint. Henceforth they lose motion in
the joint. The health of a joint is in its movement. The joint gets its
nutrition from the movement of synovial fluid in the joint. It is also how the
joint gets rid of the waste products and refreshes its surface via the synovial
fluid. This is most possible via movement in the joint. While the joint needs
to be protected it is of paramount importance that the joint be moved. No
wonder the joint of the jaw (TMJ) is the least joint affected by arthritis
because it moves all the time. Subluxations restricts joint movement and hence
arthritic changes. Having regular chiropractic care will remove subluxations
and joint restrictions resulting into healthy joints and healthy life. At Kenya
