Tips for Relieving Pain

When you’re a caregiver, it’s easy to forget about your own arthritis pain. Here are a few simple tips that can help you find arthritis pain relief, getting you back to helping a loved one. 


Tip 1

Practice Mindfulness

Working on breathing techniques and meditation will help tackle symptoms of stress and burnout, which can contribute to bodily inflammation and pain.5

Tip 2

Keep Moving

Joining in low-impact, high movement activities are great for your body. But be cautious—certain types of these activities can lead to joint pain over time, raising your risk of injury. Work with a doctor or physical therapist to find the best activities for you.

Tip 3

Eat Healthy

Nourishing your body with nutritious food like fish, nuts, fruits, and
leafy greens will aid in reducing inflammation7—your joints will
thank you later!

Tip 4
