Acupuncture, coupled with an individualized herbal program, can be one of the best solutions to managing and beating your pain. And don’t forget the chiropractor, as your structure dictates how well you function. Chiropractic has helped me many times through sports injuries, back problems, and life’s stresses on my body, so I have great faith in its ability to help you, too.
Lifestyle changes can improve joint pain, too. Yoga, stress reduction, moderate exercise, massage, and hydrotherapy can all make your joints more flexible, healthier, and pain-free. For your muscles, ligaments, and joints, movement and stretching saves and improves their health, even though at first it may feel too painful. After you are warmed up, and you feel more alive, with less pain, then make sure to stretch out when done to keep the joint and tendons flexible. As the saying goes, “Use it or lose it.” That’s true even for an arthritic joint, though “use it and help repair it” might be more apt.
If you feel you must use a drug, whether prescription or over-the-counter, remember that drugs are only a short-term solution, and even then can come with life-threatening risks. Use them to tide you over while you’re working to heal yourself from the inside. Nature has been busy providing the real solutions.
