JUVENILE ARTHRITIS

Juvenile Arthritis is an umbrella term used to describe the  many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that can develop in children  age 16 and younger.

Juvenile Arthritis is a complex family of musculoskeletal  disorder consisting of more than 100 different  diseases or conditions that destroy joints, bones, muscle cartilage,  and other connective tissues.

What Cause it?

No known cause has been pinpointed for most forms of juvenile arthritis,   there are no evidence to
suggest that toxins, foods, or allegories cause children to develop the disease.  Some research
are leaning to genetic predisposition,  which  means the combination of genres a child receive from family.

The Effect.

Having arthritis will effect the whole family, but you can maintain a sense of normalcy.
Stick to as many of your child's daily routine  and comforting habits as possible.  Sibling of children  with arthritis will feel a full spectrum of emotions from quilt to resentment,  but can be handle with care.
 
A healthcare provider can diagnose this by a physical exam, xray and other imaging test.  Unfortunately there are no cure.  The goal of the treatment is to relieve inflammation,  relieve pain,
and improve the quality of life.   Holistic services are one way to help arthritic patients to live a better life.   Seek an Herbalist as well as a healthcare provider
