(Medical-NewsWire.com, September 18, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Having a damaged hip joint can cause pain and disability. Individuals who suffer from this condition typically resort to remedies and even surgical procedures. There are medical conditions believed to significantly damage the hip and cause sufferers to undergo a surgery.
According to the NIH (National Institutes of Health) Senior Health website, osteoarthritis is the most common cause of hip replacement surgeries today. This surgical procedure is performed when a damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial joint. Osteoarthritis, on the other hand, takes place when there is wear and tear in the joints.
Wear and tear in the joints often happens as a person ages. This is the time when the glucosamine levels inside the body gradually reduce. Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance in the body that is believed to help promote joint health.
When osteoarthritis develops, it causes friction in between bones. This can increase a person's risk of stiffness and pain. In addition to osteoarthritis, hip damage can also be caused by fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, injuries, and osteonecrosis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is another arthritic condition that is characterized by inflammation, pain, and joint destruction. Pain and stiffness often interferes with the ability of sufferers to perform their daily activities.
Doctors often recommend other options aside from hip replacement. Sufferers should perform exercises to strengthen their muscles around the hip. They can also resort to using walking aids to reduce the stress placed on the joint. The use of medicines such as pain relief drugs is also recommended.
Hip replacement is not for everyone, especially not for people who suffer from certain conditions. Individuals with Parkinson's disease, or who are also suffering from conditions that cause severe muscle weakness, are more likely to dislocate an artificial hip. Those who are also in poor health are believed to be less likely to recover from surgery.
Healthcare providers often recommend the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for individuals who suffer from hip damage. These pain management drugs are widely used to achieve temporary pain relief. However, their use is also associated with certain side effects.
The growing scare of the side effects associated with the use of pain relief drugs has led many arthritis sufferers to use some natural alternatives such as glucosamine supplements. Glucosamine is believed to be as effective as pain relief drugs.
Its advantage is that it doesn't cause side effects, and is believed to address the root cause of the problem instead of providing a temporary pain relief solution. It is particularly helpful to individuals who are suffering from wear and tear in the joints (http://amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Supplement-2000mg-serving/dp/B0126ZF0B2).
