"It is one of the most common reasons that adults look for medical care. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are over 58 million adults who are living with doctor-diagnosed arthritis in the US alone. In addition to this, over 25 million people battle with daily limitations caused by joint pain. (CDC, 2024). Probably, even more concerning, is the fact that an estimated 15 million adults experience severe joint pain rated"
"It is most often the result of repeated stress, bad movement patterns, inflammation, old injuries, or age-related tissue decline. Small injuries start to accumulate when joints are overloaded, and it is these micro-injuries that start to trigger inflammation, which is meant to help the healing process. It is important to note that in the short term, inflammation is a good thing, as it increases blood flow, brings nutrients, and activates join repair."
Over 58 million U.S. adults have doctor-diagnosed arthritis, and over 25 million face daily limitations from joint pain; an estimated 15 million experience severe pain. Joint pain typically develops gradually from repeated stress, poor movement patterns, inflammation, prior injuries, and age-related tissue decline. Micro-injuries accumulate under overload and trigger inflammation intended to aid healing. Short-term inflammation increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to support repair. When inflammation becomes chronic, tissue damage occurs: cartilage thins, ligaments weaken, joint capsules stiffen, and tendons deteriorate. Treatments commonly prioritize symptom relief over addressing underlying biological damage.
