Healthy joints and bones until old age

We don't see joints or bones, and if they don't hurt, we don't even know we have them. We do not realize that we must pay quality care to the musculoskeletal system long before we feel the first painful signs of damage.

According to statistics, about 12% of the population is affected by osteoarthritis. The risk of the disease increases significantly with age. In the group over 65, statistics record up to 70% of people. The most common joint disease is osteoarthritis, a non-inflammatory disease of the joints, ie wear and tear of the cartilage due to movement. Hip and knee bends are most affected. In general, the greater the load, the more pronounced the damage. For example, professional sports or overweight can be used properly. If the wear of the lumbar and articular flexions continues continuously, the cartilage is completely lost and the bone is exposed. At this stage, the joint capsule, ligament and muscles are already affected, which harden and shorten. The disease is very painful and limits the mobility of the victim.
