Chronic joint pain from arthritis, whether it affects your hands, feet, hips, knees, or spine, can be incredibly irritating and prevent you from doing the things you really love to do.
It may appear as though your joint pain will never go away when standard treatments like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) and steroid injections don’t bring about long-lasting relief. However, there is a practical remedy that not only aids in the alleviation of chronic joint pain but also assists patients in avoiding the requirement for surgery or potentially addictive prescription medicine.
