<p><p>Massage –not the areas that hurt
<br>
<br>Some experts think that arthritic conditions or pain conditions in general aggravate and flare up trigger points, and that one can get additional relief to arthritis symptoms trough self massage.
<br>
<br>The idea is not to massage the area where it hurts, but to find pressure tender areas in your muscles near the actual pain area, and massage them instead.
<br>
<br>For example, if your arthritis pain is in your knee joint, then you would find and massage tender points from your quadriceps muscles.
<br>
<br>Exercises -lose it or use it
<br>
<br>Not moving will only make matters worse in the long run, it's important to maintain as active lifestyle as possible.
<br>
<br>Besides maintaining functionality, exercise can work as a natural pain medicine, because it helps to release endorphins, body's natural pain killers.
<br>
<br>Just a half an hour long walk, can be all what's needed to release enough endorphins to make a difference.
<br>
<br>Nutrition – dietary supplements may help
<br>
<br>While not everybody agrees that supplements are useful, there is quite a lot of anecdotal evidence to support them.
<br>
<br>Couple of most hyped and maybe the best supplements for osteoarthritis include: glucosamine - amino sugar that may have a major role in cartilage repair, and chondroitin - component of cartilage that works very much similarly to glucosamine.
<br>
<br>There's some scientific evince that they are indeed helpful, and they might be worth trying.
<br>
<br>But, remember that glucosamine & chondroitin are sold as dietary supplements, and supplements aren't regulated with the scrutiny of drugs.
<br>
<br>So, make sure to purchase from reputable sources, or better yet, buy a branded product, and you'll minimize the risks of ending up with an unworthy product that doesn't even have a change to work.</p><br><b>About the Author</b>: Resources: Read related articles at pain relief guide site… <a href="http://www.pain-relief-guide.com/glucosamine-chondroitin-sulfate.html" target="_blank">http://www.pain-relief-guide.com/glucosamine-chondroitin-sulfate.html</a> <a href="http://www.pain-relief-guide.com/natural-remedy-for-osteoarthritis.html" target="_blank">http://www.pain-relief-guide.com/natural-remedy-for-osteoarthritis.html</a> <a href="http://www.pain-relief-guide.com/natural-cure-for-osteoarthritis.html" target="_blank">http://www.pain-relief-guide.com/natural-cure-for-osteoarthritis.html</a></p>
