Arthritis is a degenerative condition that causes stiffness and pain that is marked by inflammation in the joints.

It can seriously disrupt everyday life and is also a major cause of body pain.

According to sources, the most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis. The condition gets worse with age and is caused by the wear and tear of joints over the years.

If left untreated, it may result in chronic pain, stiffness, swelling as well as limb deformities.

Management of arthritis pain is about opting for healthier lifestyle choices and can greatly impact your quality of life.

Here are some easy tips and tricks to manage arthritis pain.

Make Lifestyle Changes

Where maintaining a healthy lifestyle can keep chronic illnesses at bay, it can also mitigate arthritis pains.

1. Losing Weight

This reduces inflammation as there is less pressure on the joints.

2. Staying Active or Exercising

Though it may seem like the last thing you want to do when in pain, it can help relieve stiffness, strengthen muscles and improve joint movement.

3. Reduce Irregular Sleep Patterns

Poor sleeping patterns lead to fatigue, which may worsen the pain.

4. Hot and Cold Treatments

Hot and cold treatments have been proven to calm and soothe inflamed joints. Ice restricts the blood vessels, which cuts fluid flowing in the tissue and soothes swelling and pain.

On the other hand, heat treatments dilates the blood vessels and surges blood circulation.

A combination of treatments is advisable, but make sure to consult with your doctor to come up with the best plan for your pain management.
