In my long-term career, I have seen that
most of the people come with the problems of arthritis or joint pains after the
age of 50 years or more. However, I am sure that if those people would take
proper care of the bones from an earlier age they could avoid such issues. Joints
usually connect two bones such as knee joint, shoulder joints or hip joints and
take the weight to allow you move in a fluent manner. Trauma, strains and
sprains, bursitis are some of the causes of the joint pain. Here I am going to
mention certain tricks, following which they can avoid arthralgia in the later
age.
Ice
Therapy: In order to reduce the tissue from
swelling, the flow of blood is needed to be reduced. Ice temperature helps to
decrease blood flow thus whenever you feel pain you must put an ice pack on the
place in an interval of every hour for duration of 15 minutes time. Apply the
same process even on next day at least for four or five times for the same
duration. The process helps you to heal the pain. The process is also known as cryotherapy. However, in order to shun
the ice burn it is advised to not place the ice directly on skin rather to
apply it by wrapping it in wash clothes or towels.
Hydrotherapy: Pouring warm water can also does wonder in case of getting
relieved from joint pains. Having a bath in mild warm water or immersed the
area in the water can bring relief to you by stimulating the flow of blood.

pain is acute, ibruphen can be a good relief for the joint pain. Non-steroidal
drugs can help to relieve from the joint swelling as well as stiffness of the
muscle. However, it is recommended that to visit the doctor before you take the
medicines.

later to avoid the joint replacing surgeries. Therefore, it is important to

the joints thus it prevents the joint aches. Further doing the exercise helps
you to control body weight. It helps the joints such as knees and the joints to
get relieved from taking the extra burden. As example you are 10kg weighing
extra it put pressure equivalent to 30 kg extra on your knee joints.

must sit, work or lift heavy things in the proper technique as it helps your
joint to be protected from the external injuries. People who are associated
with the sports must use different protecting gears that would help them from being

or family history cannot be avoided all the time. Thus, it is advisable to stay
in touch of the doctor to avoid the joint problems. Keep the joint pains away
