3 Natural Ways to Manage Your Arthritis Pain

Joint pain and stiffness can be a daily challenge few of us want to endure.

And while it might seem like the only way to stop the pain from taking over is by taking another pill, we at Med Free Living believe differently. 

At Med Free Living, we strongly believe that medication isn’t the only way to manage your arthritis pain. 

In this blog post we will be discussing the 3 natural ways to manage your arthritis so that can get back to life feeling more like yourself and less like the pain.

Let’s discuss a few that we find very helpful.

1. Massage

When was the last time you went and got yourself a good massage? 

Truthfully, I can’t tell you the last time I took a moment to get one myself. And I am sure you’re in the same boat. 

Don’t push your massage to the side any longer. 

We have come to learn that gentle manipulation with moderate pressure can reduce joint pain and muscle soreness and range of motion!

2. Hot and Cold Therapy

Generally speaking, ice is better for inflammatory pain. Cold restricts blood flow, reducing swelling and inflammation.

For joint pain that is not caused by inflammation such as osteoarthritis try heat for relief. Heat increases blood flow to an affected area, which promotes healing and relaxes muscle spasms.

Your body will thank you.

3. Take an anti-inflammatory. 

If you choose a joint supplement like FACTOR 5 you can experience a reduction in pain and inflammation after the first or second dose. 

However, the secret to taking a natural anti-inflammatory to help you stay out of pain is by taking it consistently!

Taking an anti-inflammatory like FACTOR 5 consistently can help you get back to living the life you want with the people you love without the thought of pain.
