Joint Pain Relief And Treatment Options

How To Treat Joint Pain?

Are you experiencing joint pain? Let’s examine the possible options on how to relieve your joint pain discomfort.

Can I solve my joint discomfort by eating bone support supplements, painkillers, or collagens?
According to the American Academy of Osteopathic Medicine (AAOS), studies of glucosamine and cartilage treatments do not show a significant effect in relieving joint discomfort.
Most glucosamine and chondroitin from bone strength supplements will be metabolized or transformed after consumption, and only a low amount will be absorbed in the cartilage.
Painkillers can inhibit inflammation, relieve swelling and pain, and reduce cartilage breakdown, but cannot heal wounds and damaged tissues. Without the sense of pain because of painkillers, you run the risk of not giving the injuries the proper rest needed, and consequently may worsen the injuries.
UC-II supplements can replenish cartilage tissues, increase lubrication between joints, and reduce joint friction.
However, UC-II supplements do not improve bone structures and muscle strength, nor do they heal injuries or damages.
Identifying the source of the pain is the key to comfort, and moderate exercise can strengthen the body’s foundation.
Seek professional help from a podiatrist to identify the source of your pain.
Moderate exercises can increase the flow of the joint fluid, help the body absorb nutrients better, and prevent inflammation of the joints.
Strong muscles can not only absorb shock while bearing weight, but also reduce damages to the joints.
Strength Training + Whey Protein = Building Muscle

CONCLUSION

While there are many viable options available to relieve joint pain, these methods are only quick and easy fixes that do not solve the root of the problem or relieve the pain. The best option for long term relief and permanent healing is to build your muscles through strength training exercises and maintain a whey protein diet. It is also best to consult a podiatrist to check your joints for the cause of the pain and prescribe your treatment.
