HistoryHow to Treat Joint Pains

 Depending on the types of joint disease or problem one is suffering from, the treatments are varied. For instances where the joint problem is caused by injuries that are mostly likely acquired from sports, doctors suggest treatment to start with what is called RICE—this stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. This is common first aid treatment for sport injuries since it gives the involved person temporary relief from pain, reduces the swelling, and also speeds up the healing process. But if the injury is no longer that easy to attend to then people would go for pain relievers and rehabilitation. There are even those that would even have to undergo joint replacement surgery.

 Joint pains or diseases that already need extra attention can sometimes lead to having the damaged or affected joint replaced by a new one through surgery. This type of surgery is common for people who have arthritis, joint diseases, or major injuries.

 

Types of Joint Diseases

 Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of autoimmune joint disease. This happens when the immune system no longer recognize its own body tissues. Since the body will attack the cartilage tissues, it will eventually become rough and that when the pain starts.

 Inflammatory joint diseases are results of poor diet or injuries. Gout is considered to be under this category.

 Degenerative joint diseases are those that are related to trauma, injury, or damage to the tissues. If the joints is unable to heal itself then eventually the cartilage will be torn and pain comes in.

 Septic arthritis is one of the Infectious joint diseases where the joint becomes inflamed because of an infection in the body. If you are not comfortable with these drugs, then you can try creams and pain-relieving lotions.
