Why does your joint hurt?

Joint pain is something nearly everyone experiences at some point in life. But quite often, it is more than just an occasional discomfort. Roughly one in every four adults suffers from chronic joint pain, with the knee being the most commonly affected area. While most of us blame ageing, the truth is - joint pain affects people of all ages and can stem from a variety of causes beyond simple wear and tear.

For some, joint pain is the result of injury, repetitive movements, or overuse in sports and physical activities. Others experience joint pain due to inflammation caused by conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or gout. Even daily habits, such as poor posture or carrying extra body weight, can add unnecessary pressure on the joints. Factors like a poor diet, lack of exercise, and chronic stress can worsen joint pain by increasing inflammation or weakening the muscles that support the joints. In many cases, the root cause of joint pain goes unnoticed, leading to long-term discomfort that can be managed or even prevented with the right approach.

Understanding why joint pain occurs is the first step toward relief. By identifying the underlying causes - whether it's inflammation, injury, or lifestyle choices, there are practical ways to manage the pain and support joint health for better mobility and comfort.
