Joint Pain 101 - Warner Orthopedics

HOW TO NATURALLY IMPROVE JOINT HEALTH

Eventually, we will all experience joint pain. Through age, injury, or even illness, most of us will develop some discomfort or decrease in flexibility in our joints.

However, there are things you can do to safeguard your joint health, and address pain when it does strike!

Today, we’re sharing our best tips on improving joint health at home, reducing joint pain, improving mobility, and giving you the facts on the common causes of joint pain.

What Causes Joint Pain?

ARTHRITIS

Arthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain. It can range from inflammatory arthritis, like Gout or RA, or be age-related – such as osteoarthritis. It occurs when cartilage between bones wears down.

BURSITIS

Bursitis occurs when the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) in your joints become inflamed. This can occur with infection, overuse, and forms of arthritis. It’s often accompanied by pain, swelling, and the joint may feel warm.

TENDINITIS

Tendons are the flexible bands of tissue that connect bone and muscle. So the pain you’re feeling in your joint could be an inflamed tendon. This can reduce your range of motion and is usually caused by overuse.

GOUT

Gout is a specific form of inflammatory arthritis. It occurs when a buildup of uric acid in your body gets deposited in a joint – usually the big toe joint. “Gout attacks” are extremely painful and difficult to treat.

UPDATE YOUR LIFESTYLE & WELLNESS ROUTINES.

IT’S EASY TO GET STUCK IN OLD WAYS OF LIVING. IT’S TIME TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEW WAYS OF HEALING.

JOINT HEALTH MULTI

This Well Theory multi contains high doses of natural anti-inflammatories like Turmeric, Ginger, and PEA.

This combination of ingredients is a gamechanger for helping reduce inflammation, swelling, and pain in joints – and reducing stress on surrounding nerves.

PAIN RELIEF + RECOVERY CREAM

This topical cream from Well Theory also contains anti-inflammatory PEA, and is blended with Turmeric, Rosehip, and Menthol for an extra-strength formulation that cools away pain on contact while steadily reducing inflammation long-term.

EVEN MORE NATURAL WAYS TO REDUCE JOINT PAIN

AT WARNER ORTHOPEDICS & WELLNESS, OUR GOAL IS TO GIVE YOU THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE YOUR DIET & EXERCISE GOALS!

1. EXERCISE

If your joint pain isn’t caused by overuse, exercise can help you retain and regain strength and function. Walking, swimming, or other low-impact exercises can help restore flexibility in the connective tissues surrounding joints and build stabilizing muscles that prevent future injury.

2. HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS

When you’re overweight, this puts excess strain on your joints. The joints of the lower body, including the knees and hips are particularly impacted, which can be dangerous as you age. Steady weight loss with dietary changes and an increase in exercise can help reduce this strain.

3. PHYSICAL THERAPY

Physical therapy is a must for those with persistent joint pain. Our physical therapists can assist you with targeting the correct muscle groups to exercise, help improve mobility through therapeutic massage, stretching techniques, etc., and help you determine if other treatments are needed.

WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU REALIZE YOUR HEALTH GOALS

Dr. Meredith Warner founded her private practice according to her beliefs that functional medicine, or functional wellness, should be blended with conventional Orthopedic medicine.

At Warner Orthopedics & Wellness, we believe that good medicine should be proactive and encompass the whole of you and your body’s systems.

How We Support You On Your Wellness Journey:
Functional healing focuses more on supporting an already healthy lifestyle – or adapting routines to create a healthier way of living – instead of merely responding to illness and injury with treatments designed to only address symptoms.

At our clinic, we believe that you are ultimately in charge of accomplishing your health goals. We just give you the tools and resources you need to get started towards a path to better overall wellness.

We believe that you should be empowered in your health journey.

If surgery is required, we will give you the tools you need to recover faster and better than prior to the injury.
