The cartilage that cushions your joints wears away over long
periods of time. This gradual wearing away is called osteoarthritis. Without
adequate cushioning, the bones in your joints rub against each other, thus
causing pain.
Once the cartilage begins to wear out, the process cannot be
reversed. It is not possible to reverse the progress of arthritis once it has
set in. What you can do is to slow down the process. With some simple steps,
you can protect your cartilage from erosion to some extent.
1. If you're overweight, losing some pounds can take stress off
your joints, especially the ones in the knees and hip. This reduces the wear
and tear in the joint. You may slow down the progress of arthritis if you lose
weight.
2. Joint pain may make you want to stop exercising. Research
however shows that aerobic exercise boosts blood flow to the joints which in
turn keeps the cartilage well-nourished. Regular exercise can help you to
maintain a healthy weight. Doctors suggest that you should stay as active as
possible. Try to avoid high-intensity activities like running. It is better to
stick to just walking or cycling.
3. The stronger your muscles are, the more stress your joints
can absorb. You should focus on strengthening the muscles around the joints.
Work with a personal trainer to plan your workout routine.
4. Stretching increases the joint’s range of motion. This not
only keeps stiffness at bay but also helps to protect the cartilage from
erosion. The more the joints are used, the more nourishment the cartilage can
derive from the joint fluids.
5. If you are suffering from pain, then you can try out hot or
cold therapy. Heat therapy increases circulation to the affected area, while
cold therapy temporarily reduces the sensation of pain.
6. You can employ meditational techniques and relaxation
methods to better cope with joint pain. According to National Institutes of
Health (NIH), studies have shown that the practice of mindfulness meditation is
helpful for people with joint pain. Researchers have also found that meditation
keeps arthritis-related depression at bay.
