What is Joint Pain?

Joint pain is one of the most common health issues, especially among middle-aged and elderly people. It can occur in the knees, shoulders, hips, back, or any joint of the body.
In Ayurveda, joint pain is often described as “Sandhivata” – a condition caused due to imbalance of Vata dosha leading to stiffness, swelling, and pain in the joints.

Common Symptoms of Joint Pain

• Stiffness in the joints, especially in the morning
• Swelling and tenderness around joints
• Pain while walking, climbing stairs, or doing daily chores
• Reduced flexibility or difficulty in movement
• Crackling sound (crepitus) in the joints

Causes of Joint Pain

• Ageing – wear and tear of joints with age
• Arthritis (Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Gout)
• Obesity – extra pressure on joints
• Injury or accident in the past
• Lifestyle factors – lack of exercise, poor posture, unhealthy diet
