| The joints of the body are
at work, even when you are sitting or standing. They support the body in
an upright position. They enable you to move. And they cushion and support
the bones of your body during every activity.
So, it’s no surprise that
the joints are vulnerable to a variety of problems.
Some problems are minor and
short-lived. For example, the “weekend” sports enthusiast may experience
a day or so of muscle soreness and some tightness in the joints after playing
hard simply because the body isn’t conditioned for that level of work.
Other problems may be severe, long-lasting, or degenerative, meaning that
the joint undergoes changes that worsen over time.
