Arthritic has been'tra ed in
one nullivn»year=ald fossils' of
Man. More recent types and
. gyptian mummies provide
later samples. The Romans,
who built baths to help relieve
the pain of, arthritis and to, in-
crease mobility in' the affected
joints, :attested early to the
soothing effects of hydrotherapy,
still one of the important forths
of treatment The vastness of
the problem even; then was un-
derscored by the large , number'
of such baths constructed
throughout the Roman Empire.
Thus, the origins of
physiotherapy go back to an-
tiquity - including therapeutic
exercise and massage, which of-
ten followed bathing in hot
water or hot mud,
Ironieall'y, beneficial
modalities and assistive
mechanical devices employed ef-
fectively in physiotherapy, have
provided a base from which the
unscrupulous "medicine man"
or promoter could "take off" in
more ' bizarre and impressive
fashion by creating what might
seem at first to be related
devices and methods. Fed fur-
ther by the fact that the exact
cause of arthritis and a specific
cure for it are not yet known,
quack "cures" and nostrums
have reached the proportions of
a several million dollars annual
racket.
The "cures" • for arthritis
have, over the .years, ranged
from wrapping oneself in, the
skin of a wolf, or a .wildcat, to
alfalfa 'tea, ,blackstrap molasses
and,heal ng uranium dirt..
One of the early quacks ,in
history issaid to leave doped,
President Oeorge- 'l'Vilashingtun:
into being his patient. As long
ago as 1796, the gentleman in
question, Dr. Flisha Perkins,
originated the electro -magnetic
era of the charlatan with ,
patented devices; which •,he
called metallic "tractors", con,
silting of two rods, he claimed
they had the power, to yank putt
the disease as they weafe,ppulled:
downward 'oyer the victim's a£
fected part.
Nowadays, however, arthritics
are increasingly likely to be of-
fered treatment ' that is less
colourful, but more hazardous.
They are not only wasting ,
money, but time. When they
realize self-medication is futile,
the disease has often progressed
beyond help and hope. '
Arthritis is a disease which
has been historically charac-
terized by an excess of misinfor-
mation. The problem stems
from built-in confusions, such as
the mysterious and unknown
cause, or causes, of arthritis,
and the fact that individual
patients, though diagnosed as
having the same variety of the
disease, may respond, to • dif-,•
ferent treatment regimens.
"Remember that ,there is no
quick cure for ' arthritis,"
cautions The Canadian Arthritis
Society. "Furthermore, there is
no, scientific evidence that hot
springs, mineral waters, or a
warm, dry climate, are more
beneficial than proper care at
home. I n'stable climates, synx)-
toms may, however; be less
�9Uent."
Because the cause. is .still
unknown, curb and prevention
of rheumatoid ,arthritis are not
possible at this tune. Hut it° is
`diagnosed early, and if prompt
individualized treatment is
given, along --with--a—working
knowledge of the disease,
serious disabling consequences
can be prevented in four out of
five patients. Only a doctor can
make a correct diagnosis and
plan a suitable proper program.
' For many years, little atten-
tion was paid to the broad field
of rheumatology, with only the
infectious forms of arthritis and
gout considered treatable. There ;
was an overwhelming sense of
hopelessness about the disease.'
Its most prevalent forms,
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid
arthritis, were largely ignored.
Modern,.,.;tl-eatment concen-
trates on preventing disability
and deformity. Treatment varies
from o'ne kind of rheumatic
disease to another, and from one
patient to another. The main
elements for most patients are
rest, simple drugs, therapeutic
exercise and patient; education.
The Canadian Arthritis
Society' plays a key role in en-
couraging governments,
hospitals and the health
professions to play their part in
the control of arthritis. Arthritis
control is the Society's im-
mediate goal.
