JOINTS – Anatomy

Human joints are the basic for every body movement. They are parts of all the bones in the body with only exception is the tongue bone or the hyoid bone (lat. os hyoideum). Joints allow us to move and to perform various movements. The joints join the bones together, forming a skeleton. They allow smooth bone sliding without friction and destruction. Almost all the joins have same anatomy and differ only in the shape of the joints and the number of axes of motion, ie the mode of movement. Structures of the joint are joined by muscle tendons and joint capsule ligaments (capsula articularis) with related head tissue and masticatory system. Joint capsule is composed of solid connective tissue and it connects joint elements and at the same time divides the joint space into two separate cavities covered by articular cartilage and filled with synovial fluid.

Human body consist of over 300 different joints and they can be divided by their position in the body to:

• Facet joints
• Chest joints
• Joints of the upper limb
• Joints of the lower limb
• Sacroiliac joint

JOINTS – Degenerative changes

Today, in modern time, humans tend to move less naturally, using different means of transport to move around and spend most of the time in the sitting or laying position. Walking, moving and physical activity has dropped significantly. Due to this kind of lifestyle, human joins are becoming increasingly dormant causing no good, because that way they rapidly age and deteriorate that can cause degenerative changes at earlier stage.

Occurance of degenerative joint changes can depend on:

• the shape of articular surfaces
• joint surface alignment
• synovial bursa force
• ligament condition and strength
• the muscles strenght and the degree of their elasticity
• bone spurs formed along joint
• the way and how much person moves, excercise and train
• age and gender,
• ambient temperature, etc

Loose joints can often lead to dislocation such as joint dislocation or degenerative joint disease. In order to prevent dislocations, it is necessary to maintain the joint capsule optimally tensioned and the joints, muscles and ligaments in optimal shape. Prevention is very important as joint degenerative changes can be difficult to treat later on.

JOINT PAIN: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment

Joint pain causes

Joint pain is one of the most common causes of pain that can lead to painful feelings and problems with the musculoskeletal system. According to the doctors, this problem is affected by almost half of the world population. According to statistics, people over 40, have diognosed joint injuries in almost 50% of cases, and people over 70 in 90% of cases. There are many joints in the human body and they are connection points to almost all bones and as we age it is very difficult to avoid some kind of joint pain.

Joint pain is direct sign of functional impairment. It is important not to ignore disturbing symptoms, eliminate joint pain causes and start treatment on time.

Joint pain can be caused by:

• Absence of exercise and natural movements: Technological advancements, along with undeniable benefits, have contributed towards sedentary lifestye performing more and more daily tasks while moving less. All basic operations are performed by machines while human manages only processes that leads to muscle atrophy. Constant stress on particular joints manifests in the form of arthralgia (from the Greek. Arthron – “joint”, algos – “pain”).

• Overuse of a joint: jobs which expose joints to repetitive use (eg builders, loaders, salespeople) don’t contribute to healthy joints. Serious overuse of joints are followed by injuries and over the years limbs and spine pain can accure.

• Overweight – decrease in joint oxygen saturation, loss of muscle mass, irreversible changes occur in cartilage tissues and, as a result, disorders such as painful joints occur.

• Environmental conditions – living in cities or in places with high pollutant concentration – whenever there are harmful emissions into the atmosphere, this has negative impact on human health. The risk of serious health problems and complications is much higher.

• Poor nutrition- eating unhealthy food low in nutrients (vitamins and minerals) affects the overall body condition. This can immidiately affect joint mobility causing discomfort and joint pain.

• Ageing – The pain intensifies as the person is getting older. The inevitable wear and tear of the musculoskeletal system leads to diseases connected to joint pain.

• Diseases, inflammation and injuries – Many people suffer from the disease but only the minoriy consultes doctors. But joint pain, in general, indicates the presence of the disease. These can be neglected injuries, hidden inflammation, etc. It is therefore important to contact a rheumatologist or orthopedist for diagnosis and on time treatment.

For most people, it is sufficient to apply the therapy using natural dietary supplements (joint supplements) that helps relieve the causes of pain inside on long term and using natural joint pain creams that act quickly and soothe joint and muscle pain (e.g. Acuraflex capsules and joint cream).

Joint pain symptoms

One or more affected joints determine the general body condition. Symptoms are very wide and depend on the cause, but there is still a standard set of symptoms for which it would be neccesary to start independently with some natural based therapy or if symptoms persist seek medical advice.

Most common joint pain symptoms:

• Expressed pain in one or more joints.
• Pain occurs at any time of the day and it is short duration.
  
• Discomfort, stiffness of movement occurs only while resting-on a day off or on a weekend.
  
• The joint pain is so severe that the person is forced to stop working.
  
• Morning stiffness, no marked pain.
  
• Change in walking mode.
  
• Muscle pain (myalgia).
  
• Low pain in ligaments and tendons.

Even if the symptoms are not significant and do not cause great discomfort, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Joint pain treatment

If a person feels joint pain, it must first discontinue physical activity, if possible of course. Most often, pain occurs after physical activity, in the evening or in the morning after getting up. Considering that most people have appointments during the day that they can not just stop doing, they usually reach for some type of “first aid” such as anti-inflammatory pain relief cream or medications, like joint pills or painkillers. Joint pain can be temporarily removed by cold or warm compresses. Cold compress is used as a method for pain relief when the injury is cause of pain.

Common methods for joint pain treatment:

• Antibiotics (when discomfort is caused by a viral infection)
  
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Voltaren
  
• Analgesic creams and gels – Neofen, Voltaren cream etc.
  
• Natural Dietary Supplements And Joint Pills – Acuraflex
  
• Natural Anti-inflammatory and Analgesic Creams – Acuraflex

KNEE JOINTS

One of the most complex and lasting anatomical structures in the body are the knee joints. The knee joint is important for normal physical activity and overall movement of the person. The knee is made up of a complex structure that helps the knee withstand heavy loads. The knee joint constantly works hard and is therefore liable to faster wear than any other joint.

Knee joint anatomy

Thanks to the knees, a person can run, jump and walk. The anatomical structure of the knee joints is special and the articulation is very vulnerable. Must have the ability to take on a heavy load. The anatomical structure of the knee is made up of several different elements. If one of the elements of the knee loosens or something happens to it, the operation of the entire knee is disturbed and the person may be completely disabled in further movements.

The knee consists of: lower thigh bone(femur) upper part of shin bone (tibia) calf bone (fibula) patella.

Knee movements are allowed by:

passive stabilizers

• ligaments (anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, medial and lateral collateral ligaments)
• joint capsule
• passive patella stabilizers (patellar ligaments)
• medial and lateral retinaculum (connective septum)
• meniscus

active stabilizers

• muscles (quadriceps muscle, quadriceps on the front, group of ischiocrural muscles on the back and group of attractors (adductors) on the inside of the knee)

Knee joint

• it performs flexion (bending), extension (straightening), but also external and internal rotation

The most common consequence of knee ligament injury is knee instability. Because the knee is stabilized by the aforementioned soft tissue and both joints are convex leading to frequent knee injuries or to knee pain.
