Joint pain is a common problem that may be difficult to treat despite availability of several treatment options. But the use of some ayurvedic oils may be fruitful.
Joints, the connecting tissues between bones, are one of the crucial parts of the body that allow you the freedom of movement and ability to perform everyday tasks. Damage to the joints can affect the ability to move and may also cause a lot of pain.
Joint pain is an extremely common problem usually caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, gout, strains, sprains, and other injuries. In a recent survey, around one-third of adults experience joint pain. Knee pain is the most common type of joint pain, followed by shoulder and hip pain. Joint pain becomes more common with age. Regardless of the cause, joint paint can be managed with medication, physical therapy, or alternative treatments.
