How to Keep Your Joints Healthy? – Here’s the permanent solution!

 Joint problems are one of the leading health problems worldwide and can severely impact productivity and people’s everyday lives. It can be an inflammation or discomfort in any part of a joint – including the bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, or muscles.


Joint pain can be related to varied conditions and causes such as

  • Osteoarthritis 

  • Resulting from a traumatic injury 

  • Resulting from a surgery 

  • Inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis 

  • Resulting from crystal deposition in the joints, such as with gout or chondrocalcinosis 


Additionally, joint pain results in an overall loss of productivity and quality in people’s everyday lives. 


While not all cases of arthritis or other joint problems can necessarily be prevented, there are few measures you can take to ensure overall joint health throughout your life. 

  • If you have a desk job and use a computer regularly, make sure to keep your body positioned about 20-26 inches away from the monitor screen, and have your arms rest comfortably at your sides. This posture will help you overall and keep your wrists relaxed. 

  • Sit and stand alternatively throughout the day. Even if you have to sit at a desk all day for work, try to take brief walking or standing breaks to prevent stiffness. 

  • Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to increase your nutrient and antioxidant intake, which will help overall cell functioning. 

  • Water-based exercises are an excellent way to build up physical fitness without adding stress to your joints. You can perform strength training or aerobic exercises, or go swimming. Always perform a proper warm-up before engaging in exercise to get your muscles and joints up to speed. 

  • Take a warm bath or shower before bed to soothe any joint or other muscle pain before going to sleep. 

  • Make sure to stretch regularly to improve your range of motion and improve your flexibility. This stretch will help to maintain healthy ligaments and joints. 

  • Practice yoga or other exercises such as tai chi or pilates; these exercises relieve stress as well as help in improving joint strength. 

  • Try an ice massage or apply a cold pack to sore joints to reduce pain and swelling. 

  • If you consume tobacco products or smoke, make a strategy to help you quit. Tobacco usage can reduce bone mass and result in osteoarthritis. 

  • Wear supportive and functional shoes to keep your ankle and knee joints healthy and free of stress.

  • Increase your calcium intake in your daily diet to help improve bone strength. Add items such as broccoli, yoghurt, kale, figs and salmon to your diet. 


You can make these changes in your daily life that will have a significant impact on your joint health. 


But what if there is no permanent effect even after following all these practices? 

Non-surgical regenerative therapy that can help with joint pain by treating the underlying cause. It aims to regenerate new cells by enhancing the repair mechanism of the damaged tissues naturally without any risk. Patients could experience significant improvement in symptoms in 2-4 weeks of having regenerative treatment. It is minimally invasive and involves only local anaesthesia. You will stay fully conscious during this procedure. There is no rejection risk or cross-transmission of disease, as regenerative treatments use your cells harvested from your body.


Thus, you can maintain the strength and health of your joints using the regenerative treatment and prevent any major complications down the road.
