Joint Pain


Joint Pain
Many people in the United States suffer from joint pain. Whether it is from repetitive work situations, a sports injury, the onset of arthritis, or some other issue, joint pain can be debilitating.
It can decrease range of motion, affect emotional and mental health, and inhibit a person’s ability to carry out their job or exercise and participate in activities they enjoy. It can also inhibit basic activities such bathing, brushing teeth or hair, walking, and preparing food.
In addition, joint pain diseases such as arthritis are on the rise. In 2015 the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported the following facts:
- By 2015 there were 54.4 million adults who have been diagnosed with arthritis by a doctor.
- 15 million Americans reported severe joint pain due to arthritis.
- By 2040, 78 million adults are expected to have arthritis that is diagnosed by a doctor.
- Almost half of people aged 65 or older have been diagnosed with arthritis.
Considering these statistics about arthritis, and the increase of other chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, tendonitis, and degenerative conditions, it is important to find out more and what can be done naturally to combat such pain.
What Is Joint Pain?
Joint pain is the sensation of discomfort or soreness in a joint or joints of the body. Joints are the spaces or areas where two or more bones meet, such as the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow and ankle.
Joint pain can occur with or without movement and can be severe enough to limit movement. People may describe joint pain as discomfort, inflammation, increased warmth or burning, soreness, stiffness, or pain.
The joints allow our bones to move. They are made up of cartilage, ligaments, tendons, bursae (fluid-filled sacs that help cushion the joint), and the synovial membrane (lining of the joint capsule that secretes synovial fluid to lubricate the joint).
Any of the structures in a joint can become irritated or inflamed in response to a variety of mild to serious diseases, disorders or conditions.
Joint pain may last briefly or it may be chronic, which is defined as lasting more than three months.
