Natural Far Infrared Therapies To Ease Joint
Pain

Do you crawl out of bed every morning with a stiff, aching back,
your knees creaking and painful sore joints? Does pain slow you
down? If so, then read on.

Here's a few simple techniques you can add into your daily
routine that can save a lot of wear and tear on your joints and
ligaments as well as reduce your pain.

1. Gently stretch every morning. Massage sore, stiff muscles to
help stimulate localized blood circulation to help get you moving
again and significantly reduce cartilage damage.

2. Improve posture by wearing compressive thermal back
supports to ensure correct spinal alignment. Also, try to keep
both feet on the ground whenever you sit down. Crossing your
legs can impede your blood circulation and pull your back out of
alignment.

3. Use thermal far infrared therapy whenever your arthritis or
lupus symptoms flare.

Far infrared therapy clothes contain safe, effective bio-ceramic
compounds that naturally reduce swelling and improve
circulation for soothing pain relief which makes them an ideal
choice to ease joint.

4. Take regular gentle exercise using compressive thermal joint
supports to avoid strain and minimize joint wear and tear.

5. When working at your computer use compressive wrist bands
and therapy gloves to help keep your wrists straight to prevent
compression of soft tissues, such as tendons, nerves, and blood
vessels, in your forearms.

Reduced blood flow to your wrists and fingers can increase
inflammation and carpal tunnel pressure in your wrists leading to
painful nerve damage. Physiotherapists recommend resting the
palms of your hands, instead of your wrists, on your work
surface to further reduce the risk of injury.

6. Take frequent breaks form typing, writing or other repetitive
movements and perform some gentle stretching movements to
help strengthen your hands and improve flexibility.

7. Apply gentle massage, flexion exercises and thermal therapy.
The combination of soothing warmth and hand exercises
requiring complex movements of the wrist is an effective and
low-cost way of rehabilitating the hand and wrist after injury or
surgery.

This will also help keep your wrists and hands flexible with good
blood circulation if you have arthritis or other painful problems.

8. Choose comfortable, light-weight hip support underpants to
help ease hip joint pain and speed post-operative healing
following hip replacement surgery.

9. Prevent injury and strain by warming-up properly before
exercise and wear compressive thermal supports to ensure
optimum joint flexibility.

Is it safe to take
glucosamine for  
osteoarthritis
pain if I have
diabetes?

Mayo Clinic
endocrinologists
recommend you avoid
taking glucosamine if
you have type 2 diabetes

Some preliminary
studies suggest that
glucosamine could
worsen insulin
resistance, which
contributes to an
elevated blood sugar
level in people with type
2 diabetes.

Although more research
is needed, it's important
to note that glucosamine
hasn't been proven to
improve joint pain
associated with
osteoarthritis.
