(Medical-NewsWire.com, February 20, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Arthritis is one of the most highly prevalent medical conditions today, affecting millions of individuals in the United States alone. The symptoms can be debilitating and many sufferers require pharmaceutical drugs for daily pain management. However, an increasing number of arthritis sufferers are seeking more natural pain relief alternatives, including massage therapy.
Massage therapy is considered by many arthritis patients as a great pain relief option. Most sufferers who resort to this option are often those looking to avoid the known side effects of using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) commonly used to treat arthritis.
According to health experts, massage therapy can provide significant pain relief to patients in many ways. Therapists often manipulate the soft tissues and muscles, applying the right amount of pressure to ensure that the patient will be relieved from pain. When the muscles and soft tissues relax, it increases the blood and oxygen flow and this helps to relieve pain.
"Massage therapy is also a great way for arthritis patients to relax while receiving treatment. As we know, excessive stress has been linked to a wide variety of health conditions," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Due to the increasing popularity of massage therapy as a pain relief option for arthritis patients, experts suggest that sufferers should take precautions in choosing a massage therapist. They should also consult with their doctor to ensure that massage therapy is indeed a good option for them.
Aside from massage therapy, glucosamine supplements are also extremely popular among arthritis patients. Many arthritic conditions develop as a person ages and this is because aging triggers a reduction of naturally-occurring glucosamine levels in the body. Some experts believe that when a patient takes the supplement it can possibly replenish the glucosamine that has been lost, providing pain relief and potentially improving joint health.
Massage therapy and glucosamine supplements are two of the natural remedies that arthritis sufferers are resorting to today. They are part of a growing push to find safe and effective alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs (www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
