Joints are the connection between two bones in the body. Joints are complex structures made up of bones, articular cartilage, tendons, synovium, and ligaments, all working together to support movement and bear weight. These components help the body move and support itself from head to toe. The human body has around 350 joints, all playing a vital role in mobility and stability.
How Does Joint Pain Occur?
Joint pain can be a result of several different conditions, including injury and infection. Signs of joint inflammation can include swelling, warmth, tenderness, redness, and pain with movement.
Acute joint pain tends to appear suddenly, usually following an injury, and lasts for a short period. On the other hand, chronic joint pain develops gradually and persists over time, often due to conditions like arthritis.
Ways to Reduce Joint Pain
- Rest the joint by limiting movements
- Ice the joint for 20 minutes every 2–3 hours
- Compress the area with a firm (but not overly tight) bandage
- Elevate the joint above heart level to minimize swelling
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring compound that helps maintain healthy joints by supporting cartilage development and repair. It plays an essential role in maintaining cartilage—the protective layer that cushions the ends of bones. For those with osteoarthritis, a condition caused by cartilage wear and tear, glucosamine may help relieve pain and stiffness by strengthening cartilage and reducing friction in the joints.
