What Causes Joint Pain?

Joints are where movement happens, so when they’re stiff or inflamed, simple tasks can feel like a challenge. Joint pain can be caused by:

🔄 Wear & Tear (Osteoarthritis) – Cartilage breakdown over time.
🔥 Inflammation (Rheumatoid Arthritis) – The immune system attacking joints.
💥 Injuries & Strains – From sports, accidents, or overuse.
📉 Poor Posture & Alignment Issues – Leading to joint imbalances.
⚖️ Excess Weight – Adding pressure on weight-bearing joints like hips and knees.

Painkillers only mask the problem, but we help you treat the root cause naturally!

Signs & Symptoms of Joint Pain

🤕 Stiffness & Reduced Mobility – Struggling with simple movements.
💢 Swelling & Tenderness – Especially after activity or rest.
Sharp or Aching Pain – Worsens with movement or pressure.
🦵 Clicking, Grinding, or Locking Joints – Signs of wear and misalignment.
🛑 Pain That Gets Worse Over Time – If left untreated, joint damage can progress.

The sooner you seek treatment, the easier it is to restore mobility and prevent long-term issues!
