Can Arthritis Be Reversed?

About 40 million Americans have some form of arthritis. That is one in seven adults. It affects people of all ages, but most often comes on as we get older. Arthritis causes stiffness, pain, and fatigue. The severity can vary from person to person and even from day to day. For some people, only a few joints are affected and the impact may be small. In other people, the entire body system may be affected. People often ask whether there is a cure for arthritis, or whether arthritis can be reversed. What people really want to know is whether there is a way to go on living with arthritis without being defined by the condition. The honest answer is that there is no cure for arthritis today, and no supplement, diet, or therapy can reverse it. What can change is how well you manage it day to day. The term “cure” means, after medical intervention, you no longer have that condition anymore. Medical care, on the other hand, helps to manage a condition and improve your quality of life. Some diseases that cause arthritis can be addressed by a doctor. However, most of the time the remaining arthritis, with or without disease, causes some people to have pain and loss of function. And, some people are able to maintain high levels of function even with arthritis. So we have come up with some everyday habits that many people with arthritis find make a real difference in how they feel.

Exercises and Physical Therapy

One of the most widely studied ways to manage arthritis is exercise and physical therapy. It’s safe when done properly, and under the supervision of a physical therapist. Exercise can build up your strength to help you better control and manage your joint or muscle discomfort. Physical therapy can be active or passive. Both kinds can help during arthritis flare-ups. Passive therapy is when someone else, such as a therapist, does most of the work, as in massage. Active therapy is when you do most of the work such as in muscle-strengthening exercises. Gentle aerobic exercises, such as walking, swimming or yoga, can be beneficial for comfort and for building up your muscle strength. Exercise helps deliver oxygen to your joints, brain, and muscles and has the added advantage of making you feel good, too. As with any physical therapy or lifestyle change, talk to your doctor first to ensure that you don’t do yourself any harm.

Diet

A healthy and varied diet that provides proper amounts of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients is vital for overall joint health. There's even research looking at whether a whole-food, plant-based diet centered on fresh fruit, vegetables, grains, and legumes helps people with arthritis feel better. Maintaining a healthy weight is an important component of managing arthritis. When you're walking, your knees and hips carry three to four times the weight of your body. Losing even a modest amount of weight can make a real difference in how your joints feel. Some foods seem to make joint discomfort worse. Cutting back on fried foods, sugars, and alcohol is one more way many people keep their joints comfortable.

Massage

Massage therapy with calming oils is a great way to lower stress. Many people find it especially welcome during a flare-up of joint discomfort. Receiving massage regularly can help you manage arthritis symptoms. Massage helps ease stiffness and loosen tight muscles. As massage lowers stress, it also releases tension in the muscles, and it encourages people to stay active and mobile for as long as possible. Another important benefit of regular massage is an increase in blood flow and improvement of circulation. Improving circulation is a boost of blood flow. This supplies the joints and muscles with necessary nutrients and oxygen.

Joint Supplements

Joint supplements have been studied for their role in supporting joint mobility, a healthy inflammatory response, cartilage and joint structure, and the lubricating fluids in the joints. Flexcin combines cetyl myristoleate (CM8) with more familiar joint-support ingredients like glucosamine, MSM, bromelain, and collagen. Those ingredients have been studied for their role in supporting mobility, a healthy inflammatory response, and cartilage and joint structure.
