What Is the Most Common Type of Joint Pain?

Joint discomfort can affect people of all ages, but as we get older or push our bodies in sports and at work, joint pain becomes increasingly common. Whether it’s stiffness in the morning, soreness after activity, or persistent aches that don’t seem to go away, understanding the causes of joint pain and what can help manage it is key to maintaining mobility, comfort, and quality of life. We will walk you through the common culprits, which joints are most often affected, and how Juvent’s Micro-Impact Platform® and HydroxyBMD3™ supplement may help.

What Causes Joint Pain?

Joint pain refers to discomfort, inflammation, or soreness in any part of a joint, which is made up of cartilage, bone, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. It can be temporary or chronic and may stem from a wide range of causes, including:

• Osteoarthritis, which can result from wear and tear over time
• Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition
• Injury or overuse
• Bursitis or tendonitis
• Gout or other inflammatory conditions
• Loss of joint lubrication
• Cartilage thinning

What Is the Number One Cause of Joint Pain?

The most common cause of joint pain is osteoarthritis. This age-related degenerative condition wears away the cartilage that cushions joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Which Joints Tend to Be Painful?

Some joints are more vulnerable than others due to frequent use, load-bearing roles, and age-related stress. Joints that bear daily wear and tear can become painful from even small misalignments, inflammation, or aging.

• Knees: There are many types of knee joint pain, but it is often related to patellofemoral syndrome, osteoarthritis, and meniscus degeneration
• Hips: Hip pain is commonly caused by arthritis or bursitis
• Shoulders: Shoulder discomfort is often from rotator cuff strain, tendonitis, or impingement
• Hands and wrists: Pain in hands and wrists may result from repetitive use, arthritis, or carpal tunnel syndrome
• Ankles and Feet: This can be from impact, improper support, or previous injury

Using Low Impact to Benefit Your Joints

Low-magnitude mechanical signals (LMMS) like those delivered by Juvent’s Micro-Impact Platform® can support skeletal tissue and improve comfort without excessive strain. This makes it ideal for those managing chronic joint issues, aging joints, or overuse, especially since it requires less than 20 minutes a day. Our low-magnitude, high-frequency mechanical stimulation can safely travel through the feet and up into the joints and tissues of the body. This technology is designed to gently engage the body’s natural repair and circulation systems through a process known as mechanotransduction.

As shown in the 2017 study by Junbo et al., low-frequency vibrations demonstrated improvements in those with osteoarthritis, while higher-frequency vibrations actually worsened cartilage integrity and the function of the limb. Unlike traditional vibration plates, which can deliver too much force and actually cause strain, Juvent calibrates its stimulation to each user’s body, hydration level, and tissue response. This ensures safe, personalized stimulation that supports joint comfort and flexibility, improves circulation and lymphatic flow, and maintains tissues. 

Support from the Inside: HydroxyBMD³

Juvent’s HydroxyBMD³ supplement system is also part of a long-term joint care solution and can benefit all types of joint pain, with several of its ingredients specifically targeted to be beneficial for joint comfort and mobility.

With AM and PM formulas that complement each other and provide the right nutrients during optimal times of day for your body to use, your joints will thank you. It’s packed with essential ingredients like K2VITAL, which helps your body regulate calcium delivered to bones, and di-calcium malate, which is a concentrated calcium that’s optimal for absorption. Combining HydroxyBMD3 with your Micro-Impact Platform is a comprehensive approach to improving your joints from the inside and the outside. 

No matter the cause, joint pain can interfere with your mobility and independence if left unaddressed. Juvent offers a safe, science-backed approach to joint care that works with your body. Whether you’re looking to ease daily aches, stay active longer, or prevent long-term joint degeneration, Juvent’s Micro-Impact Platform and HydroxyBMD³ nutrient support system are the smart place to start.
