Stop Taking Your Joints for Granted!
By Donna Stark
Most of us have heard the phrase, "You don't know what you got until it's gone," and sometimes it seems that truer words have never been spoken. I believe we are all a little guilty of letting that happen to some extent in our lives, and though some people are more intentional with keeping it from happening, most of us don't give a second thought to what is really important until it becomes unavailable. I am as guilty as the next one when it comes to taking certain things for granted, and unfortunately, have had to find out the hard way when it came to the health of my joints. My comfort is gone, my range of motion has lessened. If you or a loved one are like me and are now fighting with pain on a daily basis, it's time to head on in to see your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic.
Taking Your Joints for Granted
Many of us don't consider the many functions that the joints in the body serve until something goes very wrong. In fact, your everyday life would be much harder to manage in most of the circumstances because joint disorders can affect so many parts of the body ... the shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles ... actually, any place where two or more bones connect. There are many factors that can contribute to joint disorders. Here are a few.
- Aging
- Previous injuries
- Inflammation
- Reduction in muscle mass
- Excess weight
- Overuse/repeated motion
- Arthritis
