OVERCOM I NG ARTHR I T I S PA I N
Turning to over the counter pain medications to cope with arthritis pain is ineffective as a long-term solution. While some of the medications may provide temporary relief, they will not help you overcome the pain for good. Physical therapy, on the other hand, can provide actual relief from arthritis by helping to rebuild strength in the joints through targeted movements and flexibility exercises. There is a lot of current research trying to understand what precisely causes arthritis todevelop insomepeople,andnot inothers.Everyoneuses their joints every day, and while it makes sense that so much pressure would cause pain todevelopover time, itdoesn’texplainwhy thepaindevelopswhenandwhere it does, and why it happens to some people and not to others. ANTI-INFLAMMATION & ARTHRITIS One leading form of arthritis treatment is with the use of anti-inflammatory medication. Certain types of arthritis develop as a result of a build-up of inflammation in the body. Specifically, the tendons and ligaments become inflamed as a result of an internal attack from the immune system, which is
typically triggered by some combination of environmental factors. Avoiding certainfoodsandmovementscanreduce inflammation,andtherebyreducepain.
