Americans Spend Billions on Arthritis and Rheumatic Conditions

 

Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2014 -- Arthritis is one of the major causes of disability around the world, with many people living a life of pain and physical limitations. Not only does the condition reduce the quality of life of sufferers, but it also comes at a high cost.

According to studies, Americans spend billions for arthritis and rheumatic conditions annually. Low back pain, for instance, is a common cause of disability that hinders people from working. The condition forces sufferers in the United States to spend at least $50 billion every year. Another arthritic condition prevalent in the United States is osteoarthritis.

“Arthritis is a disease that is silently destroying the lives of many people. It not only causes pain, but also places sufferers at a high risk for financial trouble. Those who suffer from job-related disability due to arthritis are more likely to face money problems,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.

The financial loss caused by arthritis can also come in the form of the costs of hospitalizations, drugs, and other treatments. Arthritis patients are resorting to a wide variety of treatments just to achieve pain relief and improve their joint health. There are those who take NSAIDs to achieve pain relief and the cost can be quite expensive, especially if the patient has been unable to work due to the condition.

Injuries are also one of the reasons why arthritis patients are forced to spend money on the condition. There are individuals who require immediate medical assistance for knee pain or injury because their joint cartilage has already been damaged.

“Another option that many arthritis sufferers are using nowadays are glucosamine supplements. Many feel that this natural alternative is safer because it doesn’t cause dangerous side effects as drugs do,” added O’Sullivan.

Natural supplements such as glucosamine are also considered to be more beneficial especially to joint health. There have been many studies and arthritis sufferers that support the health benefits associated with glucosamine. It is believed that the natural supplement does not just provide pain relief, but also has therapeutic properties that could help the body regain joint health http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/
