Herbs for Joint Pain Relief

When looking for joint pain releivers, many people seek out herbs for joint pain. An herbal remedy for stiff achy joints and muscles can safely and effectively reduce pain and discomfort.

Although it seems contradictory to recommend exercise for aching joints, research shows that exercise is an essential tool for joint pain relief. Regular, moderate exercise actually reduces joint pain and stiffness. It builds strong muscle around the joints.

Exercise increases flexibility and endurance, wards off other health problems, helps control weight, decreases depression and increases energy. Regular physical activity decreases bone loss, helps control joint swelling, provides joint pain relief, replenishes lubrication to joint cartilage and improves sleep. The list goes on and on.

Crippling Joint Pain to Soothing Relief within Weeks

In short, physical activity is absolutely essential from a physical and mental health aspect and plays a vital role in joint pain relief. However, many people with arthritis are less fit and have more pain than they should because of inactivity. Joint pain, stiffness, decreased energy and the fear of exercise causing more pain keep many people with arthritis from reaping the benefits of exercise. Coach-potato-itis is often a co-existing condition that also keeps people from fully utilizing the healing power of exercise.

Physical activity is essential to managing joint pain relief and maintaining a quality of life. Regular physical activity lubricates joint cartilage and reduces stiffness and pain. Exercise keeps muscles strong around affected joints, decreases bone loss and can help control joint swelling pain. Regular exercise improves coordination, endurance and the ability to continue performing daily tasks.

Even if the thought of exercise does not stir a thrill, the promise of better physical health and joint pain relief should convince you to notch up your exercise regime.

Stop Arthritis and Change Your Life

An exercise program can be as simple as daily walks around the block or as frustrating as playing golf. Low impact exercise like yoga, water aerobics, strength conditioning and calisthenics are well typically tolerated by people with arthritis. Water exercise is an especially gentle way to exercise joints and muscles because the buoyancy decreases the weight placed on the joints.

There are three major types of exercise - range-of-motion, strength conditioning and aerobic. Each type of exercise is important in maintaining and improving health and reducing arthritis pain.

Range-of-motion (flexibility) exercises are gentle and low in intensity. Stretches to improve flexibility and range of motion are the foundation of most exercise programs. By doing range-of-motion stretches to improve flexibility, you help maintain normal joint movement, relieve stiffness and decrease your chances of injury.

Get Rid of Inflammation, Stiffness and Pain

Strength training is designed to make muscles stronger to decrease pain to the joints. Strength training can be done with small free weights, exercise machines, isometrics, elastic bands, resistive water exercises. Strength training can also include lifting the weight of arms and legs against gravity.

Cardiovascular, or aerobic conditioning, improves heart, lung and muscle function, helps control weight, and improves overall function. Walking, swimming, aerobics and bicycling are cardiovascular exercises, as are daily activities like raking leaves, shoveling snow, mopping a floor or mowing the lawn. Weight control is important to people who have osteoarthritis since extra weight places an additional burden on joints.

Range-of-motion exercises should be done daily, or at least every other day. Strengthening exercises should be done every other day unless there is marked joint pain or swelling. Cardiovascular exercises should be done for at least 30 minutes (broken into 10-minute increments if needed) three times a week unless there is marked joint pain or swelling.

The exercises you choose are dependent on the type of arthritis, the severity of arthritis and the joints affected. Remember to consult your health care provider before starting a new exercise program for joint pain relief.
