4890 Disease & Illness > Arthritis Mar 1, 2007 Adam Waxler Options for Arthritis Pain Relief Copyright 2006 Adam Waxler

Today there are many ways to effectively manage arthritis pain relief. Those who suffer from arthritis pain have options such as arthritis diets, exercise programs, over-the-counter and prescription medications, relaxation and positive emotion coping techniques. Suffering form arthritis pain can also be combated with surgery, supplements, home remedies, natural and other alternative therapies.

When arthritis is first suspected, it is important to seek a medical arthritis expert first. However, the more you know about arthritis and the various options available, the more comfortable you?ll be with your decision.

Below are several options available to those who seek arthritis pain relief.

Arthritis Diets
There is a great deal of debate in the medical world about the effects of overall diet on arthritis and using diet toward alleviating the arthritis pain. Doctors have known for a long time that diet affects gout, a specific type of arthritis; however the jury remained out for a long time on other common types of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Nevertheless, overall dietary health is important and does come into play when seeking arthritis pain relief. Being overweight most definitely affects certain arthritis conditions by forcing some joints to carry more weight. This added weight stresses the joints, causing overuse and pain, especially in the knees. So making sure arthritis sufferers follow a well-balanced dietary plan is advised.

Vitamins for arthritis pain relief:
Vitamin B5 ? When grouped together, B vitamins work at their peak. They are good for reducing swelling and therefore relieving arthritis pain.

Vitamin B3 ? This vitamin reduces tissue swelling and dilates small arteries, increasing blood flow. Note that Vitamin B3 is NOT advised for persons with high blood pressure, gout or sliver disorders.

Vitamin B6 ? Another B that reduces tissue swelling.

Vitamin B12 ? This vitamin aids in multiple functions. It helps with cell formation, digestion, myelin production, nerve protection.

Vitamin C - This vitamin acts as an anti-inflammatory, relieving arthritis pain, and rids the body of free radicals.

Vitamin E ? This is a strong antioxidant that protects joints from free radicals while increases joint flexibility.

Vitamin K ? This vitamin assists with mineral deposit into the bone matrix.

Minerals for arthritis pain relief:
Boron ? This trace mineral aids in bone health.

Calcium ? This is a much-needed mineral for bone health.

Magnesium ? Magnesium helps keep calcium in balance within the system.

Zinc ? This mineral is necessary for bone growth, but is often lacking in arthritis patients.

Manganese ? Manganese is also necessary for bone growth. However, do not ingest manganese with calcium because they can work against each other.

Copper ? Copper helps to strengthen connective tissue.

Germanium ? This antioxidant helps with pain relief.

Sulfur ? A lack of sulfur can result in deterioration of ligaments, cartilage, collagen and tendons.

Nutrient combos for arthritis pain relief
Chondroitin Sulfate ? This lubrication in joints, joint fluid and connective tissue, can be found in the sea cucumber.

Gelatin ? Help with raw cartilage replenishing with this cheap source.

Glucosamine Sulfate ? This combo is necessary for tendon, ligament, bone, cartilage, and synovial (joint) fluid formation.

Quercetin ? This helps with inflammation reduction.

Type II Collagen ? Use this for growth and repair of joints, articular cartilage and connective tissue.

Clearly, those who suffer from arthritis pain have options. Using vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to deal with arthritis pain are just a few of those options. Anyone who suffers from arthritis pain should see a medical arthritis expert before making any decisions, but should also be aware and well-educated on all the possibilities for arthritis pain relief.
