6 Natural Approaches Towards Arthritis Treatment

6 Natural Approaches Towards Arthritis Treatment

Doctors conventionally treat arthritis with painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. However, some meds lead to side effects, and opting for natural remedies for pain relief is gaining popularity. Remember to liaise with your healthcare professional before trying any of these natural remedies for arthritis.

Losing Weight

Your weight can make a substantial impact on the severity of pain you’re experiencing from arthritis. Additional weight places more pressure on the joints, particularly the hips, knees, and feet. Lowering stress on your joints through losing weight will boost your mobility, lower pain, and prevent damage to the joints in the future.

Wearing Compression Socks

Using compression socks may help alleviate the pain and discomfort of swollen joints. Compression garments aim to improve blood flow and, in turn, reduce the likelihood of swelling. Compression socks accomplish this by applying pressure to your legs and ankles, whereby a larger mmHg means a higher level of compression. Look into these medical-grade compression socks for women, as well as men.

Using Hot And Cold Therapy

Hot and cold treatments can make all the difference when you’re suffering from arthritis pain. Long, warm baths or showers, particularly in the morning, can help ease stiffness in the joints. Utilizing an electric blanket or a moist heating pad during the night can assist with keeping joints loose. Cold treatments are excellent for relieving pain in the joints, inflammation, and swelling. Wrap a bag of frozen veggies or a gel ice pack in a towel and place it on the affected joints for quick relief.

Considering Chiropractic Treatment

Spinal adjustments – a chiropractor can trace misalignments in your spine and other regions of your body and apply slight force to the joint for appropriate realignment. This can enhance your range of motion in the joint, which is often impaired due to arthritis.

Ultrasound therapy – can be used for more than just imaging modality. It can offer a massaging effect when it is applied to joints and soft tissues. This can lower inflammation and stiffness as well as relieve pain.

Therapeutic exercises and stretches – a chiropractor can recommend specific exercises and stretches that you can perform to help build strength and enhance the range of motion in your joints.

Trying Acupuncture

Acupuncture relates to an ancient Chinese medical remedy that entails inserting thin needles into specific pressure points in the body. This method is aimed at rerouting energies and restoring balance in your body. It is thought that acupuncture treatment can reduce arthritis pain. Be sure to contact a certified and licensed acupuncturist in your state if you are thinking about exploring this treatment method.

Including The Appropriate Fatty Acids In Your Eating Plan

Everyone necessitates omega-3 fatty acids in their eating plan for optimum health. These fats are also useful for assisting arthritis. Fish oil supplements that are high in omega-3s have been known to lower joint stiffness and pain. Gamma-linolenic acid, which is also a fatty acid, can also assist. GLA is found in the seeds of specific plants like borage, evening primrose, hemp, and blackcurrants. You can also opt for buying the oils of the seeds to use as a supplement. Just check with your doctor before consuming them.

Adding Turmeric To Your Food

The yellow spice, turmeric, which is commonly used in Indian dishes, contains curcumin that can help with reducing arthritis pain since it contains anti-inflammatory properties. More research must be done on the use of the supplement for humans, but it can’t do any harm to add this tasty spice to your food.
