Tips for Pain-Free Joints

By Sara Butler

Many people suffer from pain in the joints of their extremities every day. Most assume the underlying problem is some sort of injury, but that may not be the case. The chiropractors at The Joint Chiropractic know that a lot of pain can be traced back to overuse and daily stress and strain placed on the joints, all of which can be combated with a few simple lifestyle changes.

Drink More Water

When you drink enough water every day, you help your body in many different ways. A body that is properly hydrated has tissues that are less likely to be injured because they're more elastic. Water also can help to keep your joint properly lubricated and helps to flush toxins out so they aren't stored by your body where they can cause problems.

Exercise

Taking a walk, swimming, or riding your bike are just a few of the things you can do to exercise that doesn't put a lot of strain on your joints. The health benefits from these exercises can also work to strengthen the joints so you'll experience less pain and better flexibility in them too.

Eat a Healthy Diet

You must make it a habit to eat a balanced and healthy diet each day. This can help you in two ways. First, eating a well-rounded diet supplies your body with what it needs to function optionally and repair at the end of each day. Second, it helps you to reach and maintain a healthy body weight, which puts less stress and strain on the joints. Added body weight can accelerate degenerative processes in the joints that can lead to issues such as osteoarthritis down the line.

Practice Good Posture

Maintaining good posture throughout every activity in your day, from driving to sitting to sleeping, can help to protect your joints. Exercise helps to build strong muscles that can help your posture be better, but only practice can make you as close to perfect as you can get. If you need some tips and tricks for better posture, then talk to the chiropractors at The Joint today.

Wear Loose Clothes

You may not think that those tight pants or clingy dress are bad for your joint health, but they are! If you wear clothes so tight that it impedes circulation or doesn't allow your joints to move through their full range of motion, then you put yourself at risk of injury and pain.

There are many reasons behind joint pain. If you're not sure what's causing yours, then talk to a chiropractor at The Joint today.
