Obesity is a known contributor to joint pain, especially in weight-bearing areas like the knees, hips, and lower back. Excess body weight increases pressure on these joints, accelerating wear and tear, which can lead to conditions like osteoarthritis. Additionally, fat tissue produces inflammatory substances that worsen joint pain and stiffness. Managing obesity through weight loss can significantly reduce joint pain, enhance mobility, and improve quality of life. Strengthening exercises, anti-inflammatory diets, and physical therapy further support joint health in people with obesity. Addressing obesity-related joint pain holistically can lead to better overall health and mobility.
