Pain Joint

People with damaged cartilage know that joint pain swelling is a serious cause for concern and can cripple them off many of their daily joys. Joint pain swelling is a natural occurrence, and your body's reaction to damaged cartilage between your joints. The swelling is the result of inflamed tissue being irritated by the grinding of bone against bone that would otherwise be avoided by a healthy pad of cartilage.

Although it may be painful this is actually your body's first line of defense against prolonged tissue damage and infection. Your body after all does not know that your cartilage has been damaged; all it knows is that tissues are being irritated so extra blood must be delivered to the region to deliver oxygen and antibodies. Indeed the body is a marvelous device capable of healing itself.

Sufferers of joint pain swelling can capitalize on the body's natural healing mechanism in order to alleviate themselves of the pain and suffering associated with their condition. In fact the swelling should be seen as a sign that their body is primed and ready to begin the process of self-healing if only it is given the opportunity to do what it does best.

What then does your body need to begin the process of self-healing? The answer is the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients necessary to repair cartilage. Your body does after all repair its cartilage every day; the problem here is that your body cannot repair the cartilage faster than you can damage it. An easy, almost maddeningly so, solution is to take a cartilage supplement. A good supplement has all the necessary nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that your body needs to repair its cartilage. Sound too good to be true? It's not. But it does take time; so be patient and realize that relief is in sight.
