Support for Joint Problems

Goodbye joint problems! The most important dos & don'ts of joint pain treatment. Did you know that more than half of the adult population is regularly plagued by joint pain? Whether after a short-term severe, incorrect load or in the long term after joint injuries or surgeries: Misconceptions about the causes and treatments among the population are widespread! What is right here and really helps?

MYTH 1: Joint pain is caused by damage.

Both damage and inflammation can be the cause of painful joints. Joints can also escape without permanent damage. For example, there are joint problems such as hip rhinitis, in which the pain appears suddenly and usually disappears within a maximum of two weeks.

For certainty, it is better to see a doctor here and clarify the cause and appropriate treatment in detail.

MYTH 2: Exercise is more likely to damage the joints.

It is often assumed that cartilage and joints wear out during exercise and that this is the cause of joint pain. However, this is a mistake, because cartilage requires a lot of movement to maintain its specific function. This is the only way they can absorb the necessary nutrients and stay healthy. Physical activity is only harmful if it is carried out incorrectly and harmful sports tools or equipment are used — such as incorrect exercise during muscle training or the wrong footwear while jogging.

MYTH 3: Joint diseases can be cured with ointments.

It is common that joint problems can be cured again by applying ointments. Unfortunately, this is not true, because although ointments can alleviate the painful symptoms and swelling, they cannot cure the disease itself. Therefore, do not rely on ointments for joint diseases, but be sure to consult a doctor and discuss appropriate therapy.
