The hip joint is an important joint in the human body that connects the upper and lower parts. During walking or standing, the hip joint bears the weight of the entire upper body. Therefore, the hip joint has a large range of motion and is subject to significant wear and tear. Generally, men and women over the age of 45 will experience varying degrees of hip joint inflammation. However, due to limited awareness about the hip joint and hip joint inflammation, as well as weak protective consciousness, the potential risks of hip joint inflammation are often overlooked, leading to an increasing incidence rate. Today's joint health lecture by Bioshark, a rheumatoid arthritis and joint health expert, will discuss hip joint health maintenance with everyone!
The causes of hip joint inflammation are multifaceted. Generally, individuals with a history of hip joint injuries or congenital hip joint developmental abnormalities have a higher chance of developing hip joint inflammation. However, this does not mean that acquired factors cannot lead to hip joint inflammation. Therefore, it is crucial to be vigilant. Factors such as external injuries, prolonged wearing of high heels, drug hormones, excessive alcohol consumption, and excessive hip joint strain need attention. Additionally, maintaining good back support is essential.
Here are several lifestyle details to help prevent and manage hip joint inflammation:
1. Minimize the use of high heels. While high heels are attractive, they pose several hazards. The pressure point of high heels places all the body's supporting force on the feet. If the heel is too high and worn for too long, it can lead to foot compression, poor blood circulation, varicose veins, and over time, increase the gravitational load on the hip joint, accelerating wear and tear of the cartilage. This can result in mild discomfort or severe pain, making walking difficult and eventually leading to hip joint inflammation or avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
2. Be cautious of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis often leads to hip joint inflammation. Patients with osteoporosis have low bone density, thinner cartilage, and stiffer joints, reducing the joint's ability to withstand body pressure and promoting the development of hip joint inflammation.
3. Develop good living habits. Poor posture increases the likelihood of hip joint inflammation. For example, sitting cross-legged can cause prolonged pressure on the pelvis and hip joints, leading to soreness and potentially hip joint inflammation over time.
4. Reduce joint load. Being overweight increases pressure on the hip joint, contributing to hip joint inflammation. Additionally, there is substantial evidence linking heavy physical labor in the past with current hip joint inflammation, increasing the risk threefold. Activities like farming for more than ten years or frequently lifting objects weighing over 55 pounds daily significantly increase the risk of hip joint inflammation.
5. Maintain regular exercise to protect the hip joint. Strengthening the muscles, ligaments, and tendons around the hip joint is crucial. Joint health experts suggest practicing yoga, swimming, and cycling, which are low-impact activities. If you choose jogging, ensure proper warm-up to allow the joints to loosen up before exercising. Opt for rubber-soled shoes during exercise, as they provide better shock absorption compared to leather-soled shoes, helping protect the hip joint. In daily life, kicking your legs backward ten times a day or swaying side-to-side can exercise the hip joint and reduce the probability of hip joint inflammation.
In addition to the above precautions, keeping the hip joint warm is essential. If hip joint inflammation has already developed, wearing supportive braces around the waist or hips may help protect the hip joint! Fundamentally, hip joint inflammation occurs due to cartilage wear. It is recommended to consume 7.5g of saw shark cartilage powder daily to nourish the joint cartilage, promote cartilage regeneration, and eliminate hip joint inflammation at its root, achieving healthy and comfortable hip joints!
