Tips 1:How to Ease Knee Pain
The cartilage in your knees can naturally wear down as you age, causing osteoarthritis. The accompanying knee pain can make simple tasks like walking and climbing stairs painful. Medications β such as anti-inflammatories, intra-articular steroids, and hyaluronate injections β are often prescribed to treat osteoarthritis knee pain. However, natural remedies can also help provide knee pain relief either on their own or in combination with conventional treatments, says William Martin, MD, a rheumatologist at UCLA Health in Los Angeles. Try these 12 tips to help relieve knee pain β just be sure to talk to your doctor before you test them out.
Tips 2:Weight Loss
βEvery pound you lose is less stress on your knee joints,β Dr. Martin says. On level ground, every step you take puts pressure on your knees equal to 1Β½ times your body weight, according to Harvard Medical School. Add stairs, and the pressure on your knees increases to double or triple your body weight. Thatβs why itβs important lose weight if youβre overweight, and to maintain your weight at a healthy level once you get there. Losing weight also makes it easier to be active, and staying active is better for your knee joints than sitting still, Martin notes.
Tips 3:Exercise
People with osteoarthritis of the knee often shy away from exercise because it can hurt, Martin says, βbut being fit aerobically and maintaining muscle strength is very important to avoid muscle atrophy that can make symptoms worse.β The Arthritis Foundation recommends mini-squats as well as quad and hamstring stretches to help keep your knees strong. Start slowly and build up the number of reps you do. You can also work with a physical therapist to tailor exercises to your condition, suggests William Behrns, PT, DPT, a physical therapist at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. A study of 58 adults with knee osteoarthritis found that a targeted strengthening program improved quadriceps strength, important for supporting the knee. Results appeared in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders in January 2016.
Tips 4:A Healthy Diet
Osteoarthritis also involves inflammation of knee joints, βso it seems prudent for people to eat a diet that reduces inflammatory markers,β says Kim Larson, RDN, a board-certified specialist in sports dietetics, founder of Total Health, a nutrition consulting company, and a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables because theyβre high in phytonutrients, including inflammation-fighting antioxidants such as vitamins C, D, E and selenium. Theyβre also low in calories, so a diet favoring them helps you lose weight, Larson says. Add cold-water fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel and herring, to the menu. Theyβre high in omega-3 fatty acids, also known to have anti-inflammatory properties.
Tips 5:Stretching
Gentle progressive stretching can improve blood flow and flexibility to stiff joints, says Shawn Talbott, PhD, CNS, LDN, author of Natural Solutions for Pain-Free Living. βImproving blood flow helps flush the joint and surrounding tissues with the delivery of oxygen and nutrients and removal of breakdown products,β he says. In addition, gentle movement that takes you through a range of motion, such as the practice of tai chi, may help, according to the Arthritis Foundation. Tai chi also makes the list of the American College of Rheumatology recommendations for managing knee arthritis.
Tips 6:Ice and Heat Therapy
βIce is mother natureβs anti-inflammatory,β says Darwin Chen, MD, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in joint replacement surgery of the hip and knee and an assistant professor of orthopedics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. βIce can be good at the end of a long day if your knee becomes inflamed,β he says, adding that heat is good for warming up your knee in preparation for an activity. Never apply ice directly to your skin; place a towel between your skin surface and the ice source to protect it.
Tips 7:Topical Therapies
If you donβt tolerate oral NSAIDs well, you might want to ask your doctor about using a topical cream or gel form, and applying it to your knees where itβs absorbed through the skin. Unlike a fast-acting pill, it may take a few days before you feel any effect, according to Arthritis Research UK. Another topical option is capsaicin cream, made from the active ingredient in hot peppers. The cream can help change the way you perceive pain and may help provide relief. If these remedies are not enough to relieve your osteoarthritis knee pain, be sure to talk to your doctor, as you may require a change in your prescribed treatment plan.
Tips 8:Acupuncture
Some people with osteoarthritis respond to acupuncture, especially those with arthritis of the knee or spine, according to the Arthritis Foundation. Itβs also one of the non-drug approaches recommended by the American College of Rheumatology. Acupuncture combined with moxibustion, a technique that involves burning the herb mugwort close to the skin, is the main course of Chinese medical treatment for osteoarthritis, says Ming Jin, PhD, an acupuncturist and founder of the Ming Qi Natural Healthcare Center in New York City. Moxibustion can be as effective as oral medications for treating knee arthritis, according to a study published in Medicine in February 2016. Your treatment should be tailored to your disease stage and may include acupuncture, acupressure, and moxibustion, Jin notes.
Tips 9:Physical Therapy
Physical therapy can help you maintain flexibility, strength, and knee function, and also help you learn how to better manage your arthritis, Behrns says. A physical therapist can outline a program of strengthening exercises you can do at home. He or she can show you how and when to properly apply ice and heat to your knees and guide you in choosing and using assistive devices, such as a cane, walker, and braces to help ease pain while improving mobility. The number of sessions youβll need depends on your level of function, Behrns says.
Tips 10:Occupational Therapy
An occupational therapist can suggest ways to minimize stress on your knees as you go about your daily routine, says Jane McCabe, MS, OTR/L, an occupational therapist in Orange County, California. Strategies learned through occupational therapy might be as simple as always sitting in a chair that has arms, which you can push off from when you go from sitting to standing. McCabe often recommends that her patients wrap their knees with kinesiology tape. Taping can reduce pressure on the soft tissue around the knee that is inflamed and causing pain, according to The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.
Tips 11:Massage Therapy
Massage therapy can help reduce knee pain β at least in the short-term, according to a research review published in the Journal of Physiotherapy in July 2015. Another study, published in 2014 in the Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, found that massage helped provide relief when combined with an exercise program. Itβs not clear how massage helps, but one theory is that it lowers production of a neurotransmitter (substance P) that is linked to pain, according to the Arthritis Foundation. Because it simply feels good, massage can also help relieve stress, which, in turn, can relieve osteoarthritis knee pain and even help you sleep better, the foundation adds.
Tips 12:Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
This type of high-frequency electrical stimulation through the skin can help reduce osteoarthritis knee pain, Behrns says. It works by helping to strengthen the quadriceps muscles that support the knee, according to the Arthritis Foundation. TENS machines, which are available for the home, send pulses to your nerve endings through pads that you place on your skin. The treatment is also offered by physiotherapists in healthcare facilities. As with all natural remedies for knee pain, not everyone will benefit, according to Arthritis Research UK.
Tips 13:Supplements
A number of supplements have been shown to help reduce inflammation and rebuild joint cartilage, Talbott says. Some, including curcumin (found in the spice turmeric), willow bark, and ginger, have been shown to reduce knee pain in people with osteoarthritis, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. SAM-e is believed to both stimulate cartilage growth and reduce pain perception, according to the Arthritis Foundation. Glucosamine and chondroitin, alone or in combination, help some people with knee pain, but studies over the years have shown they donβt work for everyone and their benefits are modest at best. Since some supplements interfere with other medications, be sure to talk to your doctor before starting a supplement regimen
