  1. ARTHRITIS PAIN Causes, Types & Treatments

  2. ARTHRITIS PAIN • Arthritis is a group of painful and degenerative conditions marked by inflammation in the joints that causes stiffness and pain. • Rheumatoid arthritis is caused by the immune system attacking the joints as if they were foreign tissues. Because of this, rheumatoid arthritis is classified as an autoimmune disease.

  3. ARTHRITIS PAIN • Osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis, gets worse with age. • Typical treatments include anti-inflammatory medications and pain killers. IPMC manages and reduce arthritis pain through a much more comprehensive and natural approach.

  4. Natural Tips & Treatments Lose Weight:Extra weight puts more pressure on your joints — especially your knees, hips, and feet. Reducing the stress on your joints by losing weight will improve your mobility, decrease pain, and prevent future damage to your joints. You will see even greater results from following an anti-inflammatory diet, as the right foods can help to reduce the inflammation causing arthritis pain. Exercise: There are more benefits to exercise than just weight loss. Regular movement helps to maintain flexibility in your joints. Weight-bearing exercises such as running and walking can be damaging. Instead, try low-impact exercises such as water aerobics or swimming to flex your joints without adding further stress. 01 02

  5. Natural Tips & Treatments 03 Hot and Cold Therapy: Simple hot and cold treatments can make a world of difference when it comes to arthritis pain. Long, warm showers or baths — especially in the morning — help ease stiffness in your joints. Use an electric blanket or moist heating pad at night to keep your joints loose. Cold treatments are best for relieving joint pain, swelling, and inflammation. Wrap a gel ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables in a towel and apply it to painful joints for quick relief.
