There are many different types of joints in the human body including saddle joints, ball and socket joints, hinge joints, and gliding joints. Over time, people may experience pain, swelling, stiffness, and tenderness in their joints due to inflammation. Tustin chiropractors focus on treating stiff and painful joints to help you move more fluidly and reduce inflammation in your joints. Chiropractic adjustments are a safe way to help your joints function and feel better.
What Is Joint Inflammation?
Inflammation is a part of the immune system’s reaction to infection and injury. Your immune system receives a response from your body to repair and heal damaged tissue and defend against bacteria and viruses. When an injury occurs, your body can benefit from the subsequent inflammation, as it helps in the healing process. On the other hand, it can become problematic if existing inflammation results in further inflammation.
Arthritis is a common form of joint inflammation. The two major arthritis types include rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system’s function develops issues that results in joint inflammation. Osteoarthritis occurs when tissues at the ends of your bones wear down over time due to overuse, aging or injury.
What Are the Foods that Trigger Joint Inflammation?
Foods that cause joint inflammation include:
- Refined flour
- Processed sugars
- MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)
- Trans fats
- Alcohol
- Gluten
Limit the intake of these foods and follow a proper diet plan to reduce inflammation.
