If you suffer from muscle and joint pain you might have considered muscle stimulators or a muscle pump.

But what exactly is muscle and joint pain?

Many women suffer from muscle and joint pain:
- knee pain
- back pain
- neck pain
- hip pain
- shoulder pain
- every type of joint pain imaginable.

Very often this is not a passing problem, but in fact chronic pain. And what are they looking for? Real relief and without having to take drugs all their lives.

What causes muscle and joint pain?
Most of us think it’s simply a process of ageing and that we should not accept it. Many believe that medication is the only solution. Not so! Unless you have progressive osteoarthritis or a rheumatoid condition (in which case you may need to see a specialist) there are many ways to relieve joint pain naturally – without drugs.

What are the underlying causes of muscle and joint pain?
Firstly, wear and tear over the years of skeletal joints are a big factor. And if you’re overweight it’s even a bigger factor – especially in the case of ankle pain, knee pain and foot pain.

If you have a past joint injury that hasn’t completely healed – this could also cause pain.

If your digested tract is inflamed this could also be a problem. Why is this? Because dysbiosis in the digestive system causes systematic inflammations – including the joints.

Cortisol and insulin are also inflammatory agents. A lot of people have an excess of these hormones resulting from a diet loaded with sugars and carbohydrates as well as caffeine and stress. High levels of these over the course of time disrupt the cellular metabolism and cause inflammation to spread rapidly.

Imbalanced eicosanoids also cause inflammation. The cells themselves produce these biochemicals and they are supposed to regulate metabolic processes. Bad and good eicosanoids should offset each other. But when there is a deficiency of essential fatty acids or an excess of insulin they don’t balance each other out. Systematic inflammation is a resulting negative consequence.

If your estrogen levels fluctuate and aren’t cleared well it can also have an impact on your joints.

A natural remedy?

How can you find relief from chronic pain?

Nutritional supplements and correct diet are the key. You should also make changes to your lifestyle – especially with regard to stress relief and exercise. Over time these work wonders.
