Many people suffer from joint pain, their movement and mobility are very difficult, and the pain adversely affects health, reducing the quality of life. However, long-term use of pain relievers can easily cause more stomach and duodenal ulcers, edema, etc. Therefore, to reduce osteoarthritis pain, we need a new solution to reduce pain more effectively and safely. , avoid unwanted harm.
According to statistics of the Vietnam Osteoarthritis Department, currently, the rate of people suffering from bone and joint diseases is up to 35% of the population, of which the age group from 50 to 70 year old the number is 70%. From 25 to 45 year old, there are 27 of 100 people have back pain, 20 people have shoulder pain, 8 people have joint pain and 3 people have arthritis (1)
Not only in the elderly, but osteoarthritis is also gradually rejuvenating. Young generation is also likely to be affected by osteoarthritis. If the subjectivity is neglected as much, the disease may progress to more severe, difficult to walk, and even disabled.
Osteoarthritis is a common type of arthritis that usually occurs over time when cartilage, the protective cushion between bones, wears away.
Knee: Osteoarthritis of the knee is very common, because the knee is under high pressure due to it carries the entire weight of the body, especially when the body moves like twisting, the force exerted on the knee joint is much stronger. Osteoarthritis usually affects both knees.
Hip: Osteoarthritis of the hip is also very common and can affect one or both hips. This is a joint that is heavily loaded by the body’s weight. Osteoarthritis of the hip is equally common in men and women.
Hands and wrists: Hand osteoarthritis often occurs as part of rheumatoid arthritis. This affects more in women and usually begins around the time of menopause. Symptoms appear to affect the thumb and joints at the fingertips, sometimes other finger joints can also be affected.
Back and neck: The bones of the spine and the intervertebral discs are often affected by changes that are very similar to those of osteoarthritis. In the spine, these changes are often referred to as spondylolisthesis.
Feet and ankles: Osteoarthritis of the foot affects the joint at the base of the big toe, and degeneration of the midfoot joint is also quite common. The ankle is the least affected part of the foot.
Shoulder: The shoulder consists of two joints, one of which can be affected by osteoarthritis:
Elbow: The elbow joint is less commonly affected by osteoarthritis. When affected, it usually occurs after a serious injury or some milder trauma.
Jaw: The jaw or temporomandibular joint, is one of the most frequently used joints in the body, and the cartilage in this joint is particularly susceptible to wear and tear. Osteoarthritis in the jaw often has an earlier onset than in other joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis, also known as rheumatoid arthritis, is an autoimmune disease – the immune system loses the ability to distinguish foreign antigens and joints in the body, over time, the disease progresses, causing inflammation and inflammation. damage cartilage layer quickly. (3)
Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include:
Most of us don’t pay much attention to our joints until they start to hurt and interfere with the things we want to do. It’s quite uncomfortable when you want to go for a run, bike ride or hike and you’re in pain. Should learn and apply early scientific solutions to keep the body healthy and avoid unwanted consequences
Patients should limit ear transmission methods, “heirloom” methods that have no scientific basis such as using drugs of unknown origin, eating okra, pork leg… to relieve joint pain. Unsuitable eating will lead to weight gain – obesity, improper use of drugs makes joint disease worse.
According to experts, to reduce joint pain requires perseverance, a combination of many methods. The first is simple treatment measures, which can be applied at home, such as hot compresses, cold compresses, massage to relieve aches and pains.
In case of prolonged joint pain, the patient should go to a hospital with a musculoskeletal specialist for examination. Through these tests, the doctor will accurately diagnose the disease condition and take appropriate interventions such as a combination of medication and physical therapy to treat and avoid aggravation of arthritis diseases.
In particular, with the advancement of science, highly appreciated solutions such as anti-inflammatory with natural essences to limit stomach irritation – a common problem of people with bone and joint diseases, restore part of the body damage joints over time, improve the quality of joint fluid… Since then, osteoarthritis has gradually improved and recovered in a sustainable way.
The biological active ingredients are highly appreciated by the medical community in improving bone and joint diseases, have anti-inflammatory effects, and regenerate the damaged cartilage of joints.
Boswellia serrata – natural anti-inflammatory (3): This is extracted from Frankincense, a plant widely used in India, with anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving effects.
A double-blind randomized placebo-controlled crossover study was performed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Boswellia serrata Extract in 30 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, 15 of whom had previously received the drug. or an active placebo for 8 weeks. After the first intervention, washout was introduced and then groups were switched to receive the reverse intervention for eight weeks. All patients treated with the drug reported decreased knee pain, increased knee flexion, and increased walking distance.
Boswellia serrata is extracted into boswellic acid – an important active ingredient with anti-inflammatory properties, reported to be effective as anti-inflammatory, Boswellia essence inhibits inflammatory mediators in the body, especially are leukotrienes with effective anti-inflammatory effects.
AKBA is the key active ingredient in Boswellia serrata. Normally, common Boswellia serrata extract contains about 2-3% AKBA, Boswellia serrata extract products with quantification from 35% demonstrate good ingredient composition, ensuring optimal anti-inflammatory activity for osteoarthritis.
Glucosamine sulfate (4): Glucosamine is an active ingredient that has been widely used in osteoarthritis, the use of glucosamine is very popular in the United States. In the trials showing the benefits of glucosamine, most focused on the glucosamine sulfate preparation, and most showed improvement after 1-3 months of treatment.
Collagen type 2 (5) : Experts have researched a safe and effective solution in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Collagen derivatives are a very suitable choice to improve bone and joint diseases. Collagen is the most abundant component of cartilage and has been shown to have a disease-modifying effect in osteoarthritis. Depending on the degree of hydrolysis and molecular mass, well-tolerated collagen shows significant improvement in patients with osteoarthritis.
Hyaluronic acid (6) : Hyaluronic acid is a gel-like substance that occurs naturally throughout the human bodDFDXy. In joints, natural hyaluronic acid has several functions, including:
Omega-3 (7) :The two types of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA can reduce inflammation thereby limiting symptoms of swelling and pain. EPA and DHA come with other health benefits: They can help prevent heart attacks by making it harder for blood to clot. They help reduce blood triglycerides and blood pressure.
