12 SIMPLE STEPS FOR RELIEVING ARTHRITIC PAINS AT HOME:
Treatment plans for arthritis cases are aimed at relieving pain and decreasing the amount of inflammation, stiffness, and overall stress placed on the joint(s). However, there are also some steps you can take on your own to make sure your daily life is as pain-free as possible: 2. Alternate between weight bearing and non-weight bearing exercises. 3. Use tools that make it easier on your joints, such as large handled can openers and large grips on kitchen tools. 4. Carry grocery bags on your forearms, instead of straining the joints in your fingers. 5. Have commonly-used items within easy reach to avoid squatting, kneeling, or having to reach high overhead. 1. Stretch multiple times a day.
6. Get up and move often. Don’t sit for more than 30 minutes without getting up for a break.
7. Avoid prolonged kneeling.
8. Maintain proper posture when sitting and standing.
9. Drink plenty of water.
10. Eat nutritious foods.
11. Avoid fried foods, sodas, and other items that increase inflammation in your body. 12. Work with your physical therapist to create a treatment plan and update it with a yearly check-up.
