Orlando, FL – April 2, 2015 – Osteoarthritis affects millions of people around the world, and is a condition that can cause extreme pain and immobility in those who suffer from it. With osteoarthritis commonly occurring in the knees and hips, individuals often resort to surgery to replace degraded joints. Now, some experts have shared methods to avoid or postpone the need for surgery.
The Arthritis Foundation released some tips for arthritis patients on how to avoid knee surgery. According to the information, there are many remedies that could reduce a person’s need for surgery, including weight-loss, braces, corticosteroid injections, hyaluronic acid injections, acupuncture, over-the-counter medications and dietary supplements.
“While many arthritis sufferers feel they need to resort to surgery, health professionals recommend exhausting all other measures before entering the operating room. One of the best things about these preventive measures is that many of them have the potential to significantly help improve the condition of sufferers,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.
The American College of Rheumatology presented a study revealing that engaging in physical activity and weight management can be helpful in osteoarthritis patients. The study showed that those who shed 15 pounds were able to reduce knee pain in half, reduce knee strain and decrease the sufferer’s risk for complications.
Contrary to popular belief, physical activity can actually help the joint tissues maintain their flexibility. It can also help lubricate and replenish the tissues with nutrients, and this significantly helps in the healing process. Walking is an example of a light, physical activity that can help keep the knees healthy, as well as pain free. This is why experts always recommend that patients should exercise regularly to avoid knee injury.
Along with exercise, experts also recommend a healthy diet to help the body maintain joint health. With good nutrition becoming increasingly difficult, more consumers are turning to dietary supplements to receive their daily vitamins and minerals. The National Institutes of Health funded a study that investigated whether the combination of chondroitin and glucosamine could help repair cartilage. It was found that the combination was able to reduce joint pain, especially in individuals who were suffering from moderate-to-severe knee pain.
Glucosamine is one of the most popular non-medical alternatives for arthritis pain, and is often recommended by natural health experts. Many sufferers claim that the natural ingredient has helped them achieve pain relief and regain mobility (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
