5 Steps to Joint Pain Relief-Dr.Preeti Doshi

joints No Comments »

Joint pain is a very frequently encountered problem in clinical practise and the joints which we see majorly affected are the knee joints and the hip joints an also the small joints of the spine, which can result in back pain, which is also a very common problem. So the mechanism for this pain is similar, that is why the treatment also is in similar lines again it can be an acute pain or a chronic or a long standing pain. So depending on what kind of pain we are dealing with, we will decide the line of treatment, for an acute joint pain, you can give rest to the joint, by icing or hot fermentation may be useful and you can take simple analgesic drugs like paracetamol and ibuprofen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. If these are not adequate, then we need to investigate. then we need to seek medical attention and find out if there is a more serious cause which requires a different line of management. If it is chronic, if it is a long standing pain or if it is recurrent or if it is frequently again and again happening, you need to go and see a specialist doctor to find out the exact cause to again find out the exact cause so as to offer the most appropriate management and control of your pain. In joint pain, you also need to make sure that you have a good balanced diet, you have a good intake of Vitamin D 3, calcium, and also the Omega 3 acid containing rich diet so that lubricates the joints and also helps the overall management of joint pain.

Are you experiencing pain in your bones and joints? This video breaks down the top 10 natural home remedies to help alleviate arthritis symptoms.

➡️ Epsom Salt Bath
Epsom salt, otherwise known as magnesium sulfate, has been used for centuries to treat muscle pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. With magnesium at its core, Epsom salt naturally relaxes muscles. Since 50% of the United States population is magnesium deficient, soaking in an Epsom salt bath has the potential to normalize magnesium levels.

➡️ Herbal Tea
Many herbal teas have compounds that can reduce the inflammation responsible for bone and joint pain. Ginger tea has been shown to assist people who suffer from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis due to its high phenolic content.

➡️ Hot and Cold Therapy
The healing action behind hot and cold therapy is due to an increase in blood circulation. When heat therapy is applied, blood flow increases, and when cold therapy is applied, blood vessels contract, pushing blood away from the area.

➡️ Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory compounds that can play a key role in alleviating pain in your joints. One study found that subjects reported lower levels of pain when consuming fish oil supplements.

➡️ Capsaicin Cream
Capsaicin is an active compound of chili peppers that is known for having pain-relieving effects. One study found that the topical application of a 0.025% capsaicin cream was shown to reduce pain by 57% in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 33% in patients with osteoarthritis.

➡️ Turmeric
Turmeric is often known as the king of natural health remedies. That is because of its anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, and strong antioxidant properties. Multiple studies on osteoarthritis have shown that turmeric extract can act as a therapeutic aid and reduce pain symptoms.

➡️ Yoga
The lack of muscle flexibility and strength imbalance is often directly responsible for pain in your bones and joints. The good news is that these imbalances can be remedied with a stretching routine. Using yoga as a way to not only reduce joint pain but to eliminate it is often possible.

➡️ Acupuncture
Acupuncture has a long history as a natural remedy for many diseases. It’s a form of alternative medicine where thin needles are inserted into the body. One study was performed on the effects of acupuncture on patients with osteoarthritis knee pain. The results were promising because the subjects reported both a short and long-term improvement in knee functionality.

➡️ Olive Oil Massage
Deep tissue massages are a great way to reduce bone and joint pain, as it increases blood circulation to a specific area. Using olive oil during the massage is even better because it contains the compound oleuropein that is directly responsible for reducing inflammation.

Shining a light on living with hidradenitis suppurativa

health No Comments »

Jasmine Ivanna Espy is a patient advocate living with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Once considered a rare condition, it is now thought that as many as 1 in 100 people are affected by HS. HS is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease with systemic comorbidities. It is characterized by recurrent boil-like lumps or nodules under the skin that become inflamed and painful. Current HS treatment regimens are complex, often inadequate, involve many different medications and approaches, and frequently cannot be taken for an extended time. This means they only provide temporary and moderate relief. Here, Jasmine discusses her struggles with diagnosis, symptoms of HS, and the impact of living with a chronic illness.
