Joints form the connection between bones. These are beautifully designed to let the person move their body and support their weight. Any damage to the joints from disease or injury can interfere with the movement and cause a lot of pain. Many different conditions can lead to painful joints including Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Bursitis, Gout, strains, sprains and other injuries.
Joint pain is extremely common. It can range from mildly irritating to debilitating. It may go away after a few weeks (acute), or last for several weeks or months (chronic). Old age also results in the deterioration of cartilage from normal wear and tear of the passing years. The protective membranes and fluids in the joints begin to dry up in this age. These changes may allow the bones to rub against each other painfully. Whatever the cause of joint pain, the person usually manages it with medication, physical therapy or alternative treatments. The goal of each treatment is to reduce pain and inflammation and preserve joint function.
Exercise is one of the effective ways, but be careful to stick with low-impact exercises that won’t further irritate the joint. Swimming and bicycling are among the best exercises because both allow exercising joints without putting impact on them.
However, research has indicated that Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements can help with joint pain and improve function. Glucosamine sulphate containing supplements are taken orally which raise glucosamine levels in the blood to such levels as to increase the repair (or even reverse) joint damage. External supplement for joints and connective tissues help slow deterioration of cartilage, relieve joint pain and improve joint mobility. They help to reduce inflammation and slow progression of Osteoarthritis. They enhance shock-absorbing properties of collagen thus promoting healthy joints. However proper clinical examination and necessary investigations to diagnose the cause of joint pain is not ruled out.
Bakson’s Flexicare is a combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulphate which provides relief to moderate-to-severe pain.
