How to take care of the joints of the elderly with true awakening?

  I feel the need to go out of the clinic, out of the hospital and into the community to spread the knowledge of osteoarthritis prevention and treatment to more elderly people, and to practice the mass line with my professional skills and heart for the benefit of more elderly patients.  The vast majority of elderly people do not know enough about the dangers of osteoarthritis. In their opinion, joint pain after activity is the inevitable result of aging, and can be solved by applying hot towels, acupuncture, physical therapy, and painkillers. In fact, the above treatment measures can only improve the symptoms of joint pain by promoting local blood circulation, but cannot reverse the root cause of the disease – the wear and tear of joint cartilage. Our experts took great pains to answer the elderly people’s questions and also kept reminding them to help break the misconceptions and raise awareness of joint health care. In addition to introducing treatments, we also remind the elderly of precautions to take in their daily lives, such as reducing stair climbing and hiking, avoiding long hours of standing and walking, and doing less exercises that put weight on the joints. In addition, joint protectors can be worn under the guidance of a specialist.
