Rheumatoid
arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can significantly reduce a person’s
quality of life. Medications can help manage symptoms, and some people also
benefit from natural remedies.
Several
medication-free measures can help reduce the discomfort of rheumatoid arthritis
(RA).
Natural
remedies
According
to clinical guidelines published in 2011, targeted physical therapy can benefit
people with RA. This may involve stretching, exercise, and alternating between
hot and cold.
Stretching
Stretching
the muscles around the affected joints can provide some relief from RA
symptoms.
A 2015 study published in Health Technology Assessment found that simple
stretches and strengthening exercises can help alleviate symptoms of RA in the
hands and wrists.
The authors concluded that the stretches can support conventional methods of
care.
Check with a doctor or physical therapist before attempting any stretching in
an area with RA. Some exercises can add harmful stress to the joints.
Exercise
In
addition to performing targeted stretches, some dynamic, low-stress forms of
exercise can benefit people with RA.
Activities such as swimming or cycling can strengthen the muscles around the
affected joints. This can help reduce the overall impact on the joints and slow
the progression of RA.
Heat and cold
There is conflicting medical evidence about the benefits of
applying heat or cold to relieve RA pain in the joints.
Some people find temporary relief from either heating or cooling these sore
areas. At home, a person can use heat or ice packs.
Tip: Never put ice directly on the skin. Wrap it first in a towel.
Balanced rest
Rest is important for treating joint aches, but too much rest
or a sedentary lifestyle can make aching joints worse.
Working with a doctor or physical therapist can help ensure that a person finds
the right balance between rest and strengthening exercise.
Lifestyle changes
Reducing
physical and emotional stress can benefit some people with RA. Gentle methods
of relieving stress can include mindful meditation, tai chi, and yoga.
