In medicine, there is no such term as "s alt deposition", however, any changes in the area of the joints or the tissues surrounding them are popularly called in this way. In fact, this disease is provoked by growths on the edges of the bones, in other words, osteophytes.
These formations are not s alt. They occur in cases where the axis of the joints is displaced, which leads to changes in the normal load of the articular surfaces of the bones. It is difficult for people who are far from medicine to understand this, so they habitually call this condition s alt deposition.
Gout
The only disease in which uric acid s alts are actually deposited is gout, which significantly impairs the quality of life. Constant pronounced pain in the joints leads to restriction of movement. As a rule, the disease affects the small joints of the foot or fingers. It happens that negative changes affect the knee and shoulder joints, less often patients suffer from damage to the hip joint, which often leads to disability.
To prevent the disease, you need to consider your diet,reduce the amount of fatty and smoked foods, be examined by a doctor and take the medicines prescribed by him, introduce such a concept as fasting days into the lifestyle, properly and moderately load the joint, and so on.
Why do s alts accumulate in the body?
The main reason for the deposition of s alts is the wrong process of s alt metabolism. Consider several factors leading to this violation:
- Irrational diet, which is characterized by a large number of meat dishes, spicy foods and so on.
- Alcohol addiction.
- Tobacco abuse.
- Increased urate synthesis.
- Various kidney diseases such as polycystic disease, nephropathy of varying severity, etc.
- Diseases of the circulatory system.
- Metabolic disorders.
- Skin diseases.
- Sedentary lifestyle.
- Genetic predisposition.
- Hypercooling of the extremities.
By giving up smoking and alcohol, as well as regular physical activity, such as cycling, swimming, taking therapeutic baths and minimizing the consumption of meat, fatty and spicy foods, the patient has every chance to cure gout.
Deposition of s alts in the knee and shoulder joint
The knee joint most often suffers from this disease. This disease is scientifically called gonarthrosis.
With gonarthrosis, the pain practically does not stop. Even at rest, the knees do not stop hurting.
Othersigns of s alt deposits in the joints are:
- The state of "tightness" of the skin.
- Stiff joint.
- Pain after sleeping and sitting for a long time.
- Crunch when bending.
- Edema and swelling of the knees.
- Inability to fully bend or straighten the leg.
There are two causes of s alt deposits in the joints. This is the age of the patient or an anomaly that is congenital or resulting from a mechanical injury. As a rule, older people suffer from gonarthrosis.
It is noticed that the disease develops gradually, in three stages. At the first, the symptoms of s alt deposition are insignificant. The pain occurs periodically, rather, after a load on the joint, which may change somewhat, become swollen, but the deformation is not detected at this stage.
At the second stage, the pain becomes more intense, longer. Often, a crunch and clicks are heard in the joints, which begin to deform, that is, the joint increases in volume, it becomes more and more difficult for a person to bend and unbend the knee.
In the third stage or stage, all the previous symptoms are clearly manifested. Painful sensations accompany the patient constantly, regardless of whether he is moving or at rest. The gait is disturbed, the deformity of the joint in the form of an X- or O-shape is more and more clearly manifested. If s alt deposition treatment is started, then this stage is fraught with further disability.
How to correctly diagnose?
Before starting treatment, it is necessary that the doctormade the correct diagnosis, found out at what stage the development of the disease is, and so on. Gonarthrosis can be diagnosed by several methods. This is:
- X-ray.
- Arthroscopy.
- Computed tomography.
- Magnetic resonance diagnostics.
- Thermography.
Let's take a closer look at each method for diagnosing s alt deposits.
With the help of radiography, diagnosis is made only five years after the onset of the disease.
Arthroscopy is the introduction of an arthroscope into a diseased joint, a drug that makes it possible to see the state of bone joints from the inside. The only negative is that it is introduced with only a micro-incision.
Computer tomography helps to determine the size of the diseased joint, to see all the pathological processes from which cartilage grows.
Magnetic resonance diagnostics allows you to accurately determine each layer, its he althy and pathological structure, from bones to soft tissues.
Thermography is an auxiliary method of examining the joint, which shows the temperature gradient and so on.
In addition, for the correct diagnosis of knee joint disease, it is necessary to conduct laboratory tests, including uric acid analysis, leukocyte count, Zimnitsky test, erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
Treatment of s alt deposits in the joints
At an early stage of the disease, it is recommended to treat it with the help of physiotherapy, physiotherapy exercises and massage. peoplesuffering from minor gonarthrosis, rely on vouchers to sanatoriums and resorts. Medicines in this case are prescribed to eliminate pain if the patient asks for it.
With the positive dynamics of treatment, doctors most often resort to manual therapy and a course of therapeutic massage. All these procedures are aimed at strengthening the muscles of the knee, improving blood circulation and cartilage nutrition, and so on.
When the deposition of s alts of the joints is running (if the patient does not want to become disabled), surgical intervention is necessary. The operation itself lasts an hour and a half, implants are introduced into the body, made of durable stainless steel or a titanium alloy that can replace a joint. They fit perfectly and take root in the human body. Currently, ceramics and polyethylene (heavy-duty plastics) are also used.
Cure s alt deposits at home is not easy. This is a rather long process that requires patience and regular use of medicines. The lifestyle of the patient is of great importance.
For greater effectiveness of therapy, you must follow a diet, give up bad habits such as smoking, alcohol addiction, and so on. Physical activity and regular walks improve overall he alth. Everyone can get gonarthrosis, today no methods of preventing this disease have been identified, but in any case, it should be understood that a he althy lifestyle leads to an increase in its duration.
Pathology in the cervical area
There are practically no people who have reached the age of forty who would not know what pain in the cervical region is. Unpleasant sensations occur when turning the neck, there is either something crunches or clicks.
There is such a deposition of s alts in the cervical region due to the fact that people began to move little. The metabolism in the neck and spine is disturbed, which often leads to osteochondrosis.
More often than others, office workers suffer from discomfort in the neck area, forced to spend hours at the computer in an uncomfortable sitting position. Physical inactivity and an unbalanced diet lead to this pathology. Two decades ago, doctors argued that the disease provokes excessive s alt intake.
It is now known that the culprit of the disease is the improper use of protein, that is, its increase in the diet.
Symptoms of neck and spine disease
First of all, patients complain of a crunch that occurs when turning the head. If it is not removed in time, that is, if you do not consult a doctor, then in the future you may experience dizziness, ringing in the ears, and so on.
Also, a person may lose coordination when walking or standing up abruptly. A piercing pain appears when the arms are raised and the head and neck turn sharply. If you do not pay attention to these symptoms, then most often a migraine occurs, vision and memory worsen, up to loss of consciousness.
People feel tired, when they get up suddenly, sparks often flash before their eyes, pressure starts to jump, there is pain that radiates to the heart, andthere is also a rapid heartbeat. Therefore, it is not necessary to start the deposition of s alts in the cervical region. Timely treatment will bring a positive result.
Therapy Methods
As in the case of gonarthrosis, doctors prefer to treat this disease in a complex way. The patient only needs to contact a specialist who will tell you how to carry out a series of physical exercises and prescribe the necessary drugs. In an advanced case, there will be a need for surgical intervention, which is undesirable.
How to remove s alt deposits in the cervical region? Traditional treatments include:
- Massage.
- Therapeutic exercise.
- Electrophoresis.
- Drugs and injections.
- Vitamins and dietary supplements.
- Surgical intervention.
Massage removes congestion in the tissues, and also improves blood circulation, which is why it is so effective. However, it is only necessary to trust your he alth to professionals, since amateurs can not only not help, but also harm.
Therapeutic exercise strengthens the muscles of the neck, promotes the activation of blood supply. With the help of electrophoresis, s alts are removed from the body. In order to relieve severe pain, doctors prescribe a blockade or trigger, and vitamins and dietary supplements improve metabolic processes in the body.
Cervical vertebra surgery is an extreme measure that is prescribed in advanced cases, such as neuralgia, pinched nerves, hernia, and so on. Doctors often useimplants.
Physical exercise

This also applies to fish. Avoid fried foods, including vegetables. Sauces, herbs, ketchups and tomatoes, spicy and s alty foods are also removed from the diet.
