Why is better, stronger, healthier cartilage important?
A. When your cartilage is damaged, either as a result of primary osteoarthritis or flowing from an injury (secondary osteoarthritis), you will suffer the consequences. Since cartilage protects the bones from coming into contact with one another, the opposite result is extremely painful. In a great many cases, it can result in surgery. As your cartilage begins to lose its fluid-like capabilities, the process of osteoarthritis begins. Whether the result of aging, genetics, overuse or injury, some 70 million Americans suffer from this debilitating condition. Whether you suffer from this condition or are trying to prevent it, every step that you can take to avoid the consequences is well worth it.
