Living with joint pain is a reality that most people deal with in various degrees. While prevalent among the elderly and those with physically strenuous or repetitive occupations, joint pain affects people in a wide range of ages and lifestyles. When the body’s ability to move is disabled or restricted, pain can cause simple movements to become difficult, causing our bodies to restrict the range of motion even further. Common remedies include painkillers, which, unfortunately, do not provide lasting joint pain relief.
