No matter which type of arthritis you suffer from, be
it osteoarthritis, gout, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid
arthritis or any one of the myriad forms of this
disease, you need a safe and effective treatment.
Attention is turning towards natural arthritis pain
relief that is safe and viable for long term use.
There has been quite a scare recently due to the
recall of Vioxx a Cox-2 inhibitor from the NSAIDS
family of drugs. Vioxx was a major drug for arthritis
pain relief. Sufferers are worried and wondering which
drugs are safe and which one may be next to be
withdrawn from the market.
All drugs have side effects, there’s no disputing
that. The question is how dangerous are these side
effects and are they worse than the disease they are
supposed to help? In the case of Vioxx, the side
effects were increased risk of heart attack or stroke.
Deadly stuff!
Unfortunately some side effects will only show up in
time. No matter how well a drug is researched and
tested. The question “How many other time bombs are
lurking out there?” is valid and is currently being
investigated.
So where does this leave the unfortunate person
seeking arthritis pain relief? Well the best thing is
not to get caught up in the hype in the press. Keep in
touch with your arthritis doctor of rheumatologist to
get the up to date news on what’s available and
what’s “safe” to take at the moment.
Natural arthritis medication is a viable and safe
option that can be taken with confidence while waiting
for the dust to settle on the NSAIDS debate. Some
people have experienced dramatic relief from taking
these natural remedies and have decided that a natural
remedy for arthritis is the answer to relieving
arthritis pain while being free of the worry over
dangerous side effects.
Acupuncture for Arthritis
Acupuncture is another natural remedy for arthritis.
Acupuncture involves the use of needles to stimulate
energy centres in the body for effective pain relief.
Massage can benefit most types of arthritis,
especially fibromyalgia, as it relaxes the muscles.
Likewise the application of heat can have a relaxing
and pain relieving effect.
Arthritis and Exercise
Exercise is great for arthritis as well. Gentle
exercises such as yoga, pilates, swimming and walking
are suitable. Stretch well before exercising and in
the case of an attack of gout, wait until the pain and
inflammation has subsided before starting.
So there is natural arthritis relief out there for
those wanting to get away from drugs and their side
effects or for those wanting more information on
arthritis to expand their treatment options. Those
natural arthritis treatments are safe, effective and
put you in control of the disease. Always remember
though to always seek professional medical advice at
all times.
