When muscles are strained due to overuse, postural stress, or injury, they go into spasm. When muscles are in spasm they lose blood supply. Without blood supply which is needed to maintain the elasticity of the muscle, the muscle lays down scar tissue. The build up of scar tissue in the muscle renders the function of the muscle stiff and rigid instead of elastic. These tense muscles now attach to joints and compromise the joint play and intrinsic blood supply in the joint capsule. As with the muscles, when blood supply in the joint is compromised, scar tissue is laid down, joints become stiff, and eventually arthritic. The treatments I use for joint pain are not just to remove the pain, but I use herbs that have been clinically proven to break down scar tissue and re-establish blood supply to both the muscles and the joints. In this way, the herbal protocol is addressing the causative of the factor of the joint pain.
