How to read this topic

Pain, movement, or an imaging measurement?

Pain scores, joint function, and structural imaging outcomes should be read separately. A difference in one does not establish improvement in every symptom.

Post-exercise discomfort and diagnosed joint disease are different settings. Check concurrent treatments and whether an ingredient's contribution can be separated.
