If you have arthritis or frozen shoulder, the pain and stiffness it causes may interfere with your ability to do everyday tasks, such as dress, bathe, play sport or even work. It usually affects people who have had a prior injury, a bone fracture, or surgery. If you have the slightest experience of any symptoms, use 4Jointz at the outset to help you maintain/increase movement and decrease pain.
The spine is made up of 24 bones, which are stacked on top of each other and connected to create a canal that protects the spinal cord. As people age, degenerative changes occur in the spine that are normal. These changes are seen in almost half of all people older than middle-aged. As disks in the spine age, they lose height and begin to bulge. They also lose water content, begin to dry out and weaken. This problem causes settling or collapse of disk spaces, loss of disk space height, and decreasing cushioning qualities. As the facet joints experience increased pressure, they also begin to degenerate. The smooth, slippery articular cartilage that covers and protects the joints wears away, in some cases leading to arthritis.
