LOCKED JOINTS: HOW TO HELP THEM HEAL?
Stiffness, pain, difficulty in movements: with locked joints, even the simplest actions — climbing stairs, tying shoes, typing on a computer — become strenuous. Joints can “lock” for many reasons, but the most common causes are usually the same: inflammation, degenerative processes, and trauma.
Recovering joint function is possible, as long as action is taken comprehensively: reducing inflammation, supporting the body’s repair processes, and nourishing joint structures. To combat locked joints, two supplements formulated by EIDON Salus stand out for their effectiveness and completeness: BIOST and Cartial D, designed to address the problem from different but complementary angles.
Joint stiffness: the symptoms
What we call “locked joints” is more accurately known as joint stiffness, a condition in which a joint has limited active and/or passive movement, often accompanied by a sensation of tightness, resistance, or locking. Unlike acute pain, which occurs as an immediate and intense signal, stiffness can develop more subtly and persistently, becoming especially noticeable in the morning or after prolonged periods of inactivity.
The most common symptoms include:
- Difficulty initiating movement, often accompanied by a feeling of joint “clumsiness”;
- A sense of tension or “friction” inside the joint during movement;
- Limited range of motion, even without acute pain;
- In more advanced cases, muscle imbalances or postural alterations may appear.
Joint stiffness, if left untreated, can be the start of a broader degenerative process, negatively affecting the biomechanics and functionality of the involved joint. For this reason, persistent or recurring stiffness should be considered a clinical warning sign that requires specialist evaluation and targeted interventions — not only to relieve symptoms but also to preserve the integrity of joint structures in the long term.
Why do joints lock?
A locked joint is not a single condition but can be the result of various disorders:
- Osteoarthritis: progressive wear and tear of the joint cartilage;
- Chronic inflammation: such as tendinitis, bursitis, or synovitis;
- Trauma and microtrauma: sports injuries or repeated mechanical stress;
- Joint edema: inflammation that leads to fluid buildup and restricted movement.
Every joint is a complex structure: cartilage, tendons, muscles, synovial fluid, and blood vessels all work in harmony. When even one of these elements is compromised, joint locking is often the first warning sign of an underlying degenerative process.
What Really Happens When a Joint Locks Up
Joint locking represents a significant alteration in the osteoarticular function. When it occurs, the joint loses part of its normal range of motion (ROM), compromising both biomechanics and the individual’s quality of life. The blockage may develop suddenly or gradually, and it can affect both synovial joints (such as the knee, shoulder, or hip) and less mobile joints.
From a physiological perspective, a locked joint is no longer able to perform flexion-extension, rotation, or abduction/adduction movements correctly, depending on its anatomical structure. This can lead to altered compensatory postures, functional overload of adjacent structures (tendons, muscles, nearby joints), and increased local muscle stiffness.
If left untreated or if functional recovery is inadequate, the reduction in joint mobility can promote disuse phenomena, loss of muscle tone, changes in cartilage trophism, and progressive deterioration of synovial fluid quality. Additionally, prolonged immobility can impair local microcirculation, worsening the oxygenation and nourishment of joint tissues.
For this reason, restoring joint mobility should never be neglected: prompt intervention is essential to prevent further dysfunction, avoid chronic conditions, and restore the efficiency of the musculoskeletal system.
How to Restore Joint Mobility
In most cases, medical evaluation and a structured physiotherapy program are essential. However, alongside these, joint recovery can also be supported in a non-invasive and, above all, natural way.
BIOST
When joints feel locked and painful, it’s rarely due to a single cause. More often, it’s the result of multiple overlapping issues: inflammation, cartilage damage, stressed tendons, and poor microcirculation. BIOST is a comprehensive supplement designed to target all these factors and support overall joint health.
1. Relieving Pain and Inflammation
The first step toward recovery is reducing inflammation. BIOST achieves this with a targeted combination of active ingredients:
- MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – a natural compound with antioxidant and analgesic properties that helps reduce joint pain in a natural, physiological way.
- Devil’s Claw and Boswellia Serrata – two well-known plant extracts with powerful anti-inflammatory effects.
- Especially noteworthy is Boswellia, which is enhanced using patented BOSW-CH technology: by combining it with chitosan, its bioavailability is increased by up to 90%, allowing for faster and more effective results.
2. Protecting and Regenerating Cartilage
BIOST doesn’t just soothe inflammation—it also promotes the repair of joint structures, beginning with the cartilage:
- Contains Glucosamine sulfateand Chondroitin sulfate at the highest approved concentrations—two essential building blocks for maintaining and nourishing joint cartilage.
- Glucosamine is further enhanced through GLUCOSAM-CH, a proprietary chitosan-based delivery system that significantly improves its absorption and effectiveness.
3. Supporting Tendons and Boosting Microcirculation
Joint pain often involves tendon distress as well. BIOST also targets this issue through:
- Type I Collagen, which is essential for tendons and supports the natural repair of connective tissues.
- Diosmin, a well-established compound used to improve venous circulation, reduce localized swelling, and relieve edema and the feeling of heaviness.
When should you take BIOST? BIOST is a valuable companion whenever your joints need extra support, including:
- In cases of osteoarthritis, even advanced stages;
- After sports injuries or accidents;
- When dealing with tendonitis or joint inflammation;
- As support between hyaluronic acid injections;
- For chronic joint pain requiring ongoing care.
BIOST is not just a supplement — it’s a comprehensive approach for those who want to regain freedom of movement by nourishing and supporting joints deeply and over time.
Cartial D
When joints begin to creak, movement becomes stiff, and pain starts to set in, the underlying issue is often more serious than it appears. With aging, following injury, due to intense physical activity, or simply as a result of genetic predisposition, joint cartilage can begin to deteriorate. Often, this is compounded by a deficiency in vitamin D — a nutrient essential for maintaining healthy bones and muscles.
Cartial D was specifically developed to address these challenges. It’s an advanced nutritional supplement designed to support cartilage regeneration, enhance joint lubrication, and reduce pain and inflammation through a targeted, system-wide approach.
At the core of its effectiveness is a cutting-edge biotechnological ingredient: 6% Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid with a low molecular weight (40 KDa), delivered via sublingual administration. This fast and direct absorption method allows hyaluronic acid to reach synovial cells quickly — where it can make a real difference: stimulating the production of fresh synovial fluid, improving tissue elasticity, and aiding in the repair of micro-damage to cartilage
Furthermore, Cartial D is fortified with Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) at a concentration of 500 IU/ml, to support bone metabolism, strengthen the musculoskeletal system, and assist the body in recovering after physical stress or orthopedic treatments.
This advanced formulation makes Cartial D a one-of-a-kind supplement in its class:
- Recommended in cases of osteoarthritis, joint discomfort, functional overload, or post-injection care.
- Ideal for athletes, especially those experiencing strain on tendons and joints.
- Beneficial for older adults dealing with joint degeneration and vitamin deficiencies
- Suitable for growing adolescents, to support the healthy and harmonious development of the musculoskeletal system
Easy to use, Cartial D comes in a practical 50 ml sublingual spray bottle. Just a few sprays per day deliver a natural yet powerful boost to joint health and mobility.
When your body asks for more, respond with a solution that’s complete, focused, and effective. Cartial D is more than a supplement — it’s a trusted ally for staying active, mobile, and pain-free.
