Natural Arthritis Pain Relief in Kingsport, TN

Natural Arthritis Pain Relief Kingsport, TN

Arthritis—ranked the number one cause of disability in America—causes pain, swelling, stiffness, mobility issues and damage to cartilage, greatly affecting your quality of life.

With over 100 forms of arthritis afflicting over 350 million people worldwide—and no cure in sight—finding relief for arthritis symptoms is big business in the medical industry. Unfortunately, many of the conventional treatments have toxic side effects and long-term ramifications for your health. What's more, these traditional treatments fail to address the root cause of your symptoms, creating a dependency in order to feel any type of relief.

Finding natural, healthier alternatives without troubling side effects and long-term damage is not only possible, but studies in recent years have shown that certain supplements and natural remedies can be just as effective, if not more effective than even powerful corticosteroids.

However, just as with traditional arthritis treatment, you should only begin a holistic treatment program under the guidance of an experienced healthcare practitioner. To schedule a consultation with a qualified healthcare practitioner in Kingsport that specializes in natural arthritis pain relief, call (423) 482-8711 or contact AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center online.

The most recommended vitamins for arthritis include:

  • Glucosamine

There is no magic arthritis diet to reverse or prevent disease, but getting a diverse supply of nutrients can have a profound effect on your day-to-day life. A healthy diet, balanced in calories, can also help you to maintain a healthy weight which prevents added strain on joints.

Nuts and seeds Refined, processed, empty carbohydrates like soda, pastries, chips and candy
Legumes Foods high in sodium, additives and preservatives

Your healthcare provider may recommend an elimination diet to identify major allergens which are affecting you, including dairy, animal products, caffeine or nuts, or food allergy testing.
