Adjusting Your Diet Can Help Improve the Onset of Arthritis Symptoms

Monday, 11 April 2016 22:44

Arthritis5If you have arthritis, try adjusting around your diet and eating foods that have anti-inflammatory properties. “Arthritis is a disease that affects a shocking 10 million people in the UK, causing painful joints and disability for many sufferers,” says mirror.co.uk. Foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamin D, and phytochemicals are suggested to help alleviate arthritis symptoms. Foods in these groups include fish, whole grains, citrus fruit, green tea, garlic, broccoli, bone broth, and fermented foods such as yogurt.

Arthritis can be a difficult condition to live with. If you are seeking treatment,consult with Dr. Harris L. Klear from Burlington County Podiatry Associates. Our doctor will answer any of your foot- and ankle-related questions.

Arthritic Foot Care

Arthritis is a joint disorder that involves inflammation of different joints in your body, such as in your feet. Arthritis is often caused by a degenerative joint disease and causes mild to severe pain in all affected areas. On top of this, swelling and stiffness in the affected joints can also be a common symptom of arthritis.

In many cases, wearing ill-fitting shoes can worsen the effects and pain of arthritis. Wearing shoes that have a lower heel and extra room can help your feet feel more comfortable. In cases of rheumatoid arthritis, the arch in your foot may become problematic. Buying shoes with proper arch support that contour to your feet can help immensely.

Alleviating Arthritic Pain

  • Exercises that stretch the foot can prevent further pain and injury and increase mobility
  • Most of the pain can be alleviated with anti-inflammatory drugs, heat, and topical medications
  • Massages can help to temporarily alleviate pain.

It is best to see your doctor for the treatment that is right for your needs and symptoms. Conditions vary, and a podiatrist can help you determine the right method of care for your feet.
