Simple Arthritis Remedies

Arthritis affects 58.5 million or 24% of adults in the United States. If you or a loved one suffers from this condition, it can affect your ability to work, among other things. Our chiropractors at Cape Coral Family Chiropractic in Cape Coral provide natural and effective care for a variety of health issues, including arthritis. The following arthritis remedies can make it easier to cope in everyday life.

Exercise Regularly

Getting enough exercise can be helpful with joint flexibility, weight management, and strengthening the muscles around the joints for added support. A few exercises to try include swimming, cycling, walking, water activities, and tai chi. You can get motivated by exercising with a buddy or hiring a trainer.

Maintain a Healthy Weight

Since extra weight adds pressure to your joints, this can seriously impact your symptoms. By losing some weight, you can reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent joint damage from happening in the future. For starters, you can lose weight by exercising regularly and adding healthy proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats to your diet.

Meditation

You may be able to cope better with arthritis by doing meditation or relaxation techniques. In particular, you can reduce stress, which can reduce pain and inflammation. Yoga and tai chi incorporate moderate exercise with breathing techniques, relaxation, and meditation. You can join a class to stay committed to yoga and tai chi or ask a friend or family member to join you to make meditating a more enjoyable experience.

Chiropractic Care

If you can't find enough relief from do-it-yourself remedies, then it is smart to see a chiropractor. Our team has years of experience and knowledge to help you deal with arthritis and create a customized treatment plan. For instance, a chiropractor can provide soft tissue and gentle spinal manipulation to aid in relaxing the joints and muscles.
