Keep Your Joints Moving

While this may sound like the last thing that will provide relief when you have joint inflammation, the fact is that by staying active and keeping your joints moving, you can help to reduce the inflammation. Of course, there should be some caution used, as you want to focus on soft, gentle, and slow stretches and activity that won’t cause damage. As for how often you should be stretching and moving, aim for once a day to keep your joints loose.

Maintain a Healthy Weight

It’s also wise to maintain a healthy body weight so as not to put extra stress on your joints. Even a little extra weight will cause extra stress to your body, which can present itself in the inflammation and pain you are feeling.

Make Use of Cold and Heat Packs

Cold and heat packs can also offer relief, at least temporarily. Heat pads, hot showers, and hot baths can help to relieve the pain in your joints, whereas cold is meant to follow up strenuous activity and exercise that has caused the pain.

Try Taking Collagen

While most people are aware of what collagen production means for your skin – causing it to remain youthful and plump and fighting the signs of aging – what they may not realize is that it can also help with other things such as joint inflammation. You can actually introduce hydrolyzed collagen protein powder into your routine and start to enjoy the relief it can offer. Those with arthritis will start to notice a reduction in pain, and it works to preserve your cartilage and even restore it. If you’re not sure what hydrolyzed collagen is it is the process of gathering collagen from the skin and bones of animals. From there, a process called hydrolysis is used to break the material down into smaller fragments. Hydrolyzed collagen powder is also very easy to digest and breaks down quickly in the body, allowing a very high absorption rate.

Look into Different Types of Therapy

If you want to find a way to combat the inflammation without medication, there are a number of therapies that can help. This includes massage therapy, relaxation therapy, acupuncture, and cognitive behavioral therapy. It may be a matter of just choosing one that works, or you may get the best results by combining a few of these.

There Is Relief to Be Enjoyed

When suffering from joint pain and inflammation, it can be hard to believe there is relief out there and that you can, in fact, feel better. By taking active steps to make changes in your life, trying different therapies and really putting your health and wellness first, you can start to see some fabulous results.
