If you’re like most people, arthritis pain and inflammation have been with you for a long time. And if you’ve tried the typical prescription drugs or over-the-counter painkillers, then you know that they don’t work as well as they should. But here’s the good news: there are lots of non-surgical ways to relieve arthritis pain and inflammation!
Here are 7 of our favourite ways to do it:
1. Schedule a massage
Massages are amazing for relieving tension and helping your muscles relax after a long day at work or school. You can even get massages from friends or family members if they’re skilled at giving massages!
2. Before going to bed, drink some hot tea.
This helps reduce swelling in your joints and can decrease stiffness in the morning because it increases blood flow throughout your body. Try [brand name]’s Sleepytime Tea, which contains herbs that help relax muscles while you sleep so that you wake up feeling refreshed instead of stiff!
3. Drink turmeric tea before going to bed.
Turmeric has been shown to help reduce inflammation in the body, which means it can help alleviate pain caused by arthritis as well as other conditions like Crohn’s disease or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
4. Change your diet.
Eating healthy foods (like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins) can help reduce inflammation in your joints and improve joint health. Eating more vegetables will give your body what it needs to fight off disease and maintain healthy joints with less risk of injury from overuse or damage from poor nutrition choices. This also helps keep your weight under control so that you don’t put extra pressure on your joints by carrying around extra weight!
5. Exercise regularly
Exercise helps get rid of toxins in the body by increasing circulation so they can be flushed out through urination or sweat glands in the skin; it also strengthens muscles around joints so they don’t have to work as hard when moving around them (which means less wear on them).
6. Reduce Stress
Reducing stress will help you feel better day-to-day and may also help reduce inflammation in your body. Try taking a few deep breaths every morning before getting out of bed, or try meditating for 20 minutes each night before going to bed.
In the end, you might not have to manage your arthritis symptoms with prescription medications or invasive surgery. Yes, they are effective and can reduce pain, but there are also non-surgical ways and natural remedies that can help you manage your symptoms. However, one thing is certain: you will need to be diligent. Making small lifestyle changes like adjusting what you eat is a great way to relieve joint pain and inflammation—but it does not happen overnight. Luckily, these changes are more than worth it. The goal is for your body to heal itself naturally and allow you to live the highest quality of life possible.
