Bursitis is an inflammation of a bursa, a small structure inside every joint that helps to lubricate and cushion it.<\/p>\n
Usually bursitis occurs in the larger joints, such as the shoulder, hip, knee, or elbow. It can happen once or can recur over time.<\/p>\n
Without seeing your health care provider, you usually can\u2019t easily tell the difference between bursitis and\u00a0pain caused by a strain or arthritis.<\/p>\n
* Pain in the joint that gets worse when you move the joint (the pain may come all at once or develop gradually over time)
\n* Swelling
\n* Redness
\n* Fever and warm joint area (if an infection is present)<\/p>\n
Include in your diet\u00a0anti-inflammatory oils such as those found in cold-water fish, nuts, and seeds. The following supplements may help.<\/p>\n
* Glucosamine sulfate (500 mg two or three times a day), for connective tissue support
\n* Omega-3 oils (1,000 mg two or three times a day), such as flaxseed oil, as an anti-inflammatory agent
\n* Vitamin C with flavonoids (250 to 500 mg two times a day), for connective tissue repair
\n* Proteolytic enzymes such as bromelain (250 mg twice a day), to reduce inflammation
\n* Flavonoids and oral digestive enzymes for inflammation<\/p>\n
Herbs are generally a safe way to strengthen and tone the body\u2019s systems. As with any therapy, it is important to work with your provider on getting your problem diagnosed before you start any treatment. Herbs may be used as dried extracts (capsules, powders, teas), glycerites (glycerine extracts), or tinctures (alcohol extracts).<\/p>\n
Unless otherwise indicated, teas should be made with 1 tsp. herb per cup of hot water. Steep covered 5 to 10 minutes for leaf or flowers, and 10 to 20 minutes for roots. Drink 2 to 4 cups per day. Tinctures may be used alone or in combination as noted.<\/p>\n
Some of the most common remedies are listed below. Usually, the dose is 3 to 5 pellets of a 12X to 30C remedy every one to four hours.<\/p>\n
* Arnica gel applied topically (to the skin) as directed gives excellent short-term pain relief.
\n* Arnica for bursitis occuring after an injury to the joint
\n* Ruta graveolons for rheumatic pains in the joint
\n* Bellis perennis for injury with a great deal of bruising
\n* Rhus toxicodendron for pain that gets better with movement
\n* \u201cTraumeel\u201d injections as an alternative to corticosteroids<\/p>\n
Cartilage is the soft tissue padding between all joints and bones which acts like a shock absorber. After years of wear and tear \u2013 the amount of cartilage between joints can decline \u2013 and that can lead to stiff and painful joints.\u00a0Not Just Joints\u00a0contains a host of cartilage supporting nutrients including:<\/p>\n
Not Just Joints\u00a0contains a broad range of synergistic ingredients that work together to support cartilage growth and function.<\/p>\n
When cartilage erodes over an extended period of time, the prolonged immune response could lead to chronic inflammation, potentially triggering further conditions.<\/p>\n
Cartilage has no blood supply, in fact it depends on a clean supply of synovial fluid for nutrients to travel.\u00a0Not Just Joints\u00a0supports the body\u2019s healthy inflammation management process (also called immunomodulation) with a multi-faceted approach.<\/p>\n
Chronic inflammation in the synovial membrane can trigger the production of more inflammatory compounds, which travel into the synovial fluid and then back into cartilage. This may cause further cartilage destruction \u2013 and even more chronic inflammation, becoming a vicious painful cycle.<\/p>\n
Not Just Joints\u00a0contains specialized natural agents that are rarely found in other natural joint formulas<\/p>\n
As cartilage deteriorates \u2013 you lose the protective space between bones \u2013 and that bone-on-bone scraping can trigger inflammation, pain and reduced mobility.<\/p>\n
