head, bend your elbows, do the shimmy, wiggle your hips and wave goodbye.

The most common type of joint in your body is the synovial joint, which can be

found in your knees and knuckles. Synovial joints allow for movement and they

are filled with synovial fluid, which acts as a lubricant to protect the ends of the

cartilage of your bones from rubbing against each other and wearing out.

When this happens, it is even easier to suffer more damages, as with

most joint injuries. The most common and serious consequence would

be the development of Osteoarthritis, or degenerative joint disease.

However, some

of your daily

movements and

activities may

wear out or

damage your

cartilage:

As you age, your cartilage

naturally thins and

deteriorates.

High-heels place your legs

in unnatural positions,

which can prematurely

damage your joints.

Soft mattresses do not

give your joints the

support they need.

When your muscles are weak,

your body does not have

enough strength to support

your joints. Strength training

helps to build the muscles

and ligaments surrounding

your joints, protecting them

from damage.

Carrying heavy weight on

the shoulders is a common

source of joint pain. Typically,

a purse and backpack should

not weigh more than 5% and

10% of your body weight,

respectively.

Repetitive activities can tax

your joints, especially the

smaller ones.

Posture misalignment causes

undue stress on one area of

the joint instead of distributing

the pressure evenly.

SYMPTOMS INCLUDE

Synovial Joint

Sudden exertion may damage

joints, especially when the

muscles around them are not

strong enough to support and

absorb the impact.

Holding the same sitting

posture for a long period

of time strains certain

joints in your body.

As a result, you may

experience pain in neck,

hip joint, and knee.

Having excess body fat

exerts additional stress

on your cartilage and

damages it overtime.

During or after

movement, joint

pain is felt.

When light pressure

is applied to

your joints, they are

sensitive to pain.

Joint stiffness is

felt when waking

up or after a

period of rest

and inactivity.

Joint damage from

osteoarthritis is the

common cause of bone

spurs (bone outgrowth).

As osteoarthritis breaks

down the cartilage

cushioning the ends of

your bones, your body

attempts to repair the loss

by creating bone spurs

near the damaged area.

When moving

your joints, you

hear or feel a

grating sensation.

Joints are unable

to move in their

maximum range

of motion without

experiencing

stiffness or pain.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It is estimated

to affect about 40% of the adults. Yet, only 10% of the population

seeks medical attention and about 1% is severely disabled. Athritis

sufferers experience morning stiffness, although not necessarily

in the morning only.
