Major Secret in Achieving Joint Pain Relief

Major Secret in Achieving Joint Pain Relief

Posted By Dr. Mercola | December 20 2011 | 209 views

Joint pain can be caused by many possible factors, including osteoarthritis, old injuries, repetitive or overly forceful movements, posture problems, and inactivity. But avoiding the motions that cause discomfort will only weaken your muscles, compound your joint trouble, and affect your posture, setting off further problems down the road. And pain relievers only offer temporary fixes.

However, the right set of exercises can be a long-lasting way to fight ankle, knee, hip, or shoulder pain. Joint pain relief workouts might even permit you to postpone avoid surgery on a problem joint, by strengthening supportive muscles and restoring flexibility.

Harvard Health Publications reports:

"Beyond the benefits to your joints, becoming more active can help you stay independent long into your later years. Regular activity is good for your heart and sharpens the mind. It nudges blood pressure down and morale up, eases stress, and shaves off unwanted pounds. Perhaps most importantly, it lessens your risk of dying prematurely. All of this can be achieved at a comfortable pace and very low cost in money or time."
