Joint pain is the typical response to an injury. Injury triggers an inflammatory reaction creating swelling, redness, and heat. As the swelling and pressure builds, it irritates specialized nerve cells, called nociceptors (pain receptors). This pain and swelling are the normal body response. Natural anti-inflammatories reduce swelling to ease pain, and because they are safe, they can be taken for many days when compared to traditional over-the-counter medications (such as NSAIDs).
