Who is at Risk for Joint Pain Related Conditions?

As we age, the general ‘wear and tear’ on our joints increases as the available cartilage or “cushioning” decreases resulting in inflammation and irritation, especially with movement.

When Should a Doctor be Consulted for Joint Pain?

If you have recently experienced an injury that is resulting in nearby joint pain, or have been experiencing joint discomfort and pain when moving consistently you should talk to your primary care physician about seeing pain management to be evaluated and treated.
