Coxarthrosis, how to relieve osteoarthritis of the hip?
In France, almost 10 million people suffer from osteoarthritis, the most common joint disease.
This very painful and often disabling pathology can affect any joint, such as the hip, and is known as coxarthrosis.
The cartilage that forms the junction between the femur and the pelvis can undergo significant and premature wear and tear, even to the point of destruction. Age is an important factor, but coxarthrosis is not inevitable. While some people will never be exposed to it, others will have to face up to it before the age of 50.
Nevertheless, there are natural and effective solutions to help hip osteoarthritis sufferers relieve pain and maintain mobility.
Article summary
What is coxarthrosis?
Cartilage is a fibrous membrane that allows the ends of a joint to slide over each other. We speak of osteoarthritis when the cartilage undergoes significant wear, it loses thickness and deteriorates abnormally, impacting the whole joint. Movements then become extremely painful, creating a real handicap for the patient. To date, there is no cure for osteoarthritis.
We speak of coxarthrosis when the hip cartilage is affected. This is one of the most common forms of osteoarthritis. The coxofemoral joint, which joins the femur to the pelvis, degrades, causing severe pain.
There are two forms of coxarthrosis:
we talk about primary coxarthrosis when no pathology is identified to justify cartilage degeneration.
on the other hand, we speak of secondary coxarthrosis when it is directly linked to a malformation, pathology or trauma.
How to recognize coxarthrosis or osteoarthritis of the hip?
The essential symptom is the pain evoked by the patient. Moderate at first, it intensifies as the cartilage deteriorates, which is why diagnosis can take a long time. The discomfort is both functional and mechanical, and the patient suffers during exertion, but the pain subsides with rest. The joint becomes increasingly rigid, and the movements lack of flexibility.
A radiography is used to confirm coxarthrosis. This clinical examination reveals the signs of cartilage wear and tear, and also provides information on its origin. Is it a malformation, a pathology or the consequences of a particular trauma, or is there no clinical cause for hip osteoarthritis?
Whatever the cause, it is essential to consult a doctor at the first sign of trouble pathology.

Musculoskeletal disorders, also known as MSDs, are common multi-factorial diseases of the musculoskeletal system (legs, arms, back, neck, etc.).
Professional and extra-professional activities can trigger, aggravate and maintain the onset of these disorders.
MSDs affect all soft tissues (periarticular) such as muscles, joints, tendons and nerves. This functional discomfort, responsible for persistent pain, has repercussions on a variety of bodily regions and, ultimately, on quality of life. We take stock of the situation in this article.
Also known as calcific tendinopathy, when the shoulder becomes inflamed and painful, it may be due to calcification of the rotator cuff. This pathology is well known to the world of sportsmen and women, but not only: it also affects more sedentary people who don't necessarily take part in sporting activities.
Calcium crystal deposits lodge on the tendons of the rotator cuff. While some calcifications may be harmless and go unnoticed for several years, others are extremely painful and sometimes even totally disabling during an attack.
Natural solutions can help relieve shoulder tension and reduce inflammation. We take stock in this article.
