4 Unconventional Ways to Reduce Joint Pain

Joint pain can be incredibly frustrating and debilitating. If you’re someone who suffers from joint pain, then you know all too well how difficult it can be to find a solution that works.

While traditional treatments, such as physical therapy and medication may help reduce your symptoms…

They aren’t always enough to completely eliminate the pain. This is why many people look for alternative solutions to joint pain that may sometimes seem odd. Let’s take a look at five weird ways you can get relief from joint pain.

Biofeedback Training

Biofeedback is a type of training that teaches people how to use their mind and body for increased self-regulation and awareness. It has been used for years with great success in treating chronic pain, headaches, and stress management.

With biofeedback training, you learn how to control your heart rate and breathing in order to reduce tension and improve overall health. This technique has been proven to help alleviate joint pain as well.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing practice that uses thin needles inserted into specific points on your body to stimulate the flow of energy (or qi) throughout your body.

Acupuncturists believe that when these points are stimulated correctly, it can help restore balance in your body and reduce inflammation which can lead to relief from joint pain.

Studies show acupuncture may be effective in reducing knee osteoarthritis and other types of arthritis related joint pain as well.

Epsom salt baths

Epsom salt is known for its ability to relax muscles and reduce inflammation, making it an ideal remedy for people with joint problems such as arthritis or fibromyalgia.

Taking an Epsom salt bath once or twice a week can help improve circulation around the affected area and provide relief from painful joints.

Just make sure not to use too much salt – one cup per bath should do the trick.

Aromatherapy

Essential oils such as lavender oil have long been used in aromatherapy for their calming effects on both body and mind. But did you know that certain essential oils can also provide relief from joint pain?

Studies show using essential oils on areas affected by arthritis or other forms of joint inflammation can effectively reduce swelling and discomfort in those areas over time.

In fact, a study from the Catholic University of Korea in Seoul showed that people with arthritis who sniffed a fragrant blend that included lavender, eucalyptus and rosemary experienced less pain and better moods than those who didn’t.

Joint pain doesn’t have to be debilitating or something you just have to ‘live with’ anymore! Try some of these five unconventional but effective methods today so that you can experience lasting relief from your painful joints once and for all.
