Experts Provide Methods of Fighting Arthritis Pain Without Pain Killers

 

Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/23/2015 -- Pain is one of the most common consequences of having arthritis. Individuals suffering from the condition often rely on pharmaceutical drugs to achieve pain relief. Unfortunately, using these pain killers comes with a disadvantage, as they are associated with side effects. This has led many arthritis sufferers to find other measures that can help them achieve pain relief.

Experts provide methods of fighting arthritis pain without using pain killers. According to studies, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, are associated with the increased risk of strokes, heart attacks, heart disease and gastrointestinal bleeding.

The National Center for Health Statistics revealed that there are about 26 percent of 76.2 million individuals in the United States who suffer from chronic pain. Almost half of this population suffers from arthritis. Fortunately, something can be done to help sufferers achieve arthritis pain relief without being exposed to certain health risks associated with using pain relief drugs.

"There are remedies that are believed to be helpful for pain relief such as topical medications, TENS, wearing the right shoes and natural supplements," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.

David N. Maine, M.D., director of the Center for Intervention Pain Medicine, believes that topical NSAIDs such as patches, creams and gels, can help due to their anti-inflammatory effects. These products contain sodium channel blockers that work by numbing the nerve endings near the skin. They also decrease prostaglandins and other inflammatory proteins. Physicians believe that topical treatments may pose reduced gastrointestinal and cardiovascular risks compared to oral NSAIDs.

There are other remedies that are believed to provide pain relief. Individuals with arthritis need to wear the right shoes to avoid exerting too much force on the knee joints. They may also use steroid injections, as they are believed to be helpful for calming inflammation.

Another option is to use Hyaluronic acid to help damaged cartilage by regaining its overall health. It is similarly important for sufferers to engage in regular exercise or physical therapy. It can help reduce pain and improve their strength, posture, range of motion and function. Heat or cold patches are also recommended to achieve pain relief.

The use of natural alternatives, such as glucosamine supplements, is another option to consider. Glucosamine has long been used as a pain management option among arthritis sufferers. It is a natural ingredient and is believed to have powerful therapeutic properties. According to experts and even those who have been using the natural alternative, the best glucosamine on the market is one that also contains other healthy ingredients, such as turmeric, MSM and chondroitin (amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4).
