A 5-Point Plan for Arthritis Pain
Relief
Pain is a common symptom
associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). We have a
culture that promotes pills for pain — but we can do much better. Pain
medications are “chemical band-aids” that should never be the first line of
treatment. We should instead be investing our time and energy in
non-pharmacological alternatives that not only treat pain more effectively but
spare the potential for serious side effects.
The 5-point plan below offers pain relief and increased function
as well as better health and well-being for the arthritis patient.
Fight Pain with Food
Push Yourself to Exercise
Mindfulness Meditation
Osteopathic Manipulation
Sleep – Rest and Repair
We all want to feel and function optimally,
and we all have important choices in our healthcare. The best choices offer
high rewards and low risks. The lifestyle modification program outlined above
can safely reduce the pain of RA and OA along with improving health and
well-being without side effects. The choice is yours! Give us a call
today for your first session!
