What is Joint Pain?

Joint pain refers to discomfort, aches, and soreness in any of the body's joints. This common complaint can range from mild to severe, coming on suddenly or slowly over time. Joints are places in the body where bones connect and provide us with flexible movement and mobility.

Some potential causes and risk factors for joint pain include:

• Arthritis - inflammation and swelling of a joint. The two most common types that cause joint pain are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
• Injuries - sprains, fractures, and dislocations can lead to acute and/or chronic joint pain
• Mechanical factors - misaligned joints, overweight, muscle imbalances, and repetitive motions can put extra stress on joints over time
• Infection - including viral infections which can cause temporary joint inflammation/pain
• Autoimmune disorders - diseases like lupus where the immune system attacks healthy tissue

When struggling with persistent joint discomfort, don't ignore it and hope it goes away on its own. Seeking proper medical care can bring relief through tailored treatment plans. The professionals at Renew Medical HRT Clinic provide individualized care plans to reduce inflammation and get joints functioning optimally again. Their top-rated physicians utilize the latest advancements in regenerative therapies and hormone balancing techniques to heal joint pain at its root cause, not just mask symptoms.

Signs It's Time to Seek Help

Here are some key signs your joint pain may benefit from professional treatment:

• Pain persists for more than a few days with no improvement
• Significant swelling or tenderness around joints
• Pain that interferes with daily activities or sleep
• Stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes after periods of inactivity
• Popping, clicking or grinding sensations within joints

Don't wait until you can no longer button your shirts or walk without limping. The sooner you reach out for help, the more treatment options you'll have available and less permanent damage is likely to accumulate over time. The cause of joint pain can often be pinpointed through proper diagnosis.

What to Expect During Diagnosis & Treatment

• Medical history - Your doctor will ask detailed questions about symptoms
• Physical examination - Range of motion and joint function tests
• Imaging - X-rays, MRI scans to assess damage
• Labs - Bloodwork that gives insight into potential causes
• Treatment - May include medications (NSAIDs, steroids), therapy (occupational, physical), joint injections, surgery, alternative medicine or holistic approaches (acupuncture, supplements)

There are more advanced regenerative medicine options as well, which have promising potential to heal damaged joint tissue. Renew Medical HRT Clinic specializes in these innovative solutions such as PRP injections and stem cell therapies.
