The Connection Between Inactivity and Joint Pain

Many adults experience joint pain due to a lack of physical activity rather than acute injuries. Inactive individuals often visit healthcare providers complaining of pain without recalling any specific incident that caused it. This pain frequently stems from long-term underuse of muscles and joints, resulting in weakened structures that cannot withstand everyday stresses. Consequently, enhancing activity levels not only strengthens these areas but also reduces overall inflammation, thereby addressing the root cause of the discomfort.
