Milder symptoms of joint pain, typically acute conditions, are commonly treated with over-the-counter pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants.
More severe symptoms of joint pain, typically chronic conditions, are often treated with prescription NSAIDs to reduce pain, inflammation or swelling.
But it is widely accepted that many of these over-the-counter and prescription medications have potentially harmful side effects which can increase the risk of stroke or heart attack in patients.
To reduce the chances of suffering these side effects, many people around the world are turning more and more to self-care treatments and using natural remedies and simple foods - because it is once again becoming, to a greater extent, obvious that this non-drug treatment method is increasingly important for coping with painful joints.
Making sure you have a healthy diet with a simple, regular, exercise and stretching programme will help to increase your mobility, flexibility and levels of fitness thus providing effective joint pain relief
.Practising athletes, sportsmen and women should consult with their personal trainers or team coaches about conducting strenuous activities when injured and during the recovery process.
