New Advances in the Treatment of Arthritic Pain

Arthritis Pain Relief Beyond Vioxx® and Celebrex®

If you live long enough, chances are before your 50th birthday you are going to suffer from some sort of arthritic pain. In fact 80 percent of the population over the age of 50 suffer from some form of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis. Traditionally, individuals suffering arthritis pain have sought relief by turning to over-the-counter solutions such as aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Others have opted for the help of pharmaceuticals prescribed by their doctors, such as Vioxx® and Celebrex®. Unfortunately many of these prescription products have recently come under fire with serious questions of their safety. A lawsuit was recently filed against the manufacturer of Vioxx® after a government-led clinical trial that ended in December 2004 showed an increased risk of heart failure in patients taking regular doses of this pain relief prescription product. Obviously for those suffering through arthritic pain are left with some very scary decisions in deciding whether or not to use a prescription product. Are there safer alternatives available for arthritic pain sufferers?

Emerging Science in Natural Medicine and Pain Management

Over the past few years a great deal of research has been done in the nutraceutical arena in the area of pain management. One outstanding example is the new dietary supplement Nexrutine®. This a patent-pending plant extract developed from the phellodendron tree (Phellodendron amurense). This tree has been a rich source of traditional medicine in Asia for more than 1500 years. The proprietary Nexrutine® extract, developed by Next Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a unique anti-inflammatory for natural pain management.

Nexrutine® alleviates pain safely and effectively while easing joint and muscle soreness associated with physical activity. Nexrutine® not only eases pain but also makes everyday activity much more comfortable.

The Phosoplex™ Connection

John, a 66 year old CEO of a fragrance manufacturing facility, began using a nutraceutical product called Phosoplex™ containing Nexrutine® once daily. Phosoplex™ is a high end bone and joint formula containing multiple ingredients aiding bone and joint health as well as pain management with Nexrutine®. After 6 weeks, John stated “I haven't felt this good in ten years. The aches and pains are greatly diminished and I can hold a golf club virtually pain free. Phosoplex has been more than I expected and have recommended the product to others at our country club.”

Based on current research and recent problems with both pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter drugs natural alternative ingredients like Nexrutine® and natural formulas like Phosoplex™ are the future for safe and effective pain management. If you are in pain give these natural alternatives a try. Be consistent and administer as directed and hopefully you will get the desired results thousands of others have already experienced using these natural aids.
