5 Foods Chiropractors Say Can Ease Joint Pain

By Brandi Goodman

Many chiropractors recommend eating a healthy diet and drinking water to improve joint pain and maintain health. This general statement can be hard to handle for some patients as they may be unsure of precisely which foods are best to eat. Though all healthy food options are ideal for the diet, only certain choices will have the biggest impact on joint health in particular. Try these five foods if you find yourself experiencing joint pain and are looking for relief. 

Fish

Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids. These acids are beneficial for eliminating inflammation and pain that is often present in the joints. Only the fatty fish options should be consumed if these results are desired. Trout, mackerel, and salmon are some possible choices.

Ginger

Ginger has long been used as a home remedy for both illness and pain. The spice has components that work to block production of certain substances that can cause inflammation. Adding fresh ginger to tea or soup can go a long way toward eliminating inflammation and reducing pain within the joints. It can even improve symptoms of arthritis. 

Berries

Because berries are full of antioxidants, they make excellent additions to the diet. The antioxidants work to fight off toxins that cause damage to particular areas of the body, including the joints. Many berries also contain quercetin, which acts as a blocker for inflammatory processes. They, too, can void some arthritis symptoms. 

Grapes

The skin found on grapes possess an antioxidant known as resveratrol. This can aid in lessening symptoms of arthritis as it blocks certain cells that cause the disease. It also works to prevent the joints from becoming thick and inflamed, which arthritis can cause. You don't have to eat a ton of grapes to get the results. A concentrated grape powder can be used in its place. 

Garlic

Anti-inflammatory properties are found in garlic. Anyone looking to reduce their joint pain should add this onion-like food to their diet where possible. You need to use freshly chopped garlic instead of the garlic powders found in the spice aisle in stores. It has stronger abilities. Cook with garlic as often as you can, adding it to soups, vegetable mixes, and more.
