What is the best natural remedy for joint pain?
joint pain (arthralgia) is an extremely common symptom which most people will experience at some point in their lives. Joint pain has many different causes, ranging from local injury to the joint to whole-body illnesses which include joint pain as one part of the disease. Joint pain can be caused by a number of different mechanisms. Joint pain may be caused by damage to a structure within the joint itself (such as the joint surface) or by damage to a structure near the joint, such as a tendon. Joint pain may be due to local damage within the joint, or may be just one part of a systemic (whole-body) disease process. One of the most important distinctions to make is whether joint pain is caused by inflammation of the joint (an immune response involving swelling, redness and warmth) or whether there is joint pain without inflammation.
The treatment for your joint pain will depend on the cause. The best sort of analgesia (pain relief) for your joint pain is also partially dependent on the cause inflammatory joint pain is likely to respond well to corticosteroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, whereas non-inflammatory joint pain is better managed with paracetamol. Other techniques to manage joint pain include physiotherapy.
