Preventing arthritis in your hands can be achieved with exercise and natural remedies. Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation of the joints. The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis, which wears out the protective cartilage found between the joints. When cartilage is worn down it allows the bones to rub together, which can lead to deformities and structural changes.
Arthritis is a painful condition and can limit a person’s ability to complete daily tasks. But with the help of exercise and natural remedies, arthritis can be manageable.
Hands, in particular, can become affected by arthritis. Our hands are made up of many joints, including our fingers, thumbs, knuckles and wrists. Arthritis in the hands can lead to pain, swelling and stiffness, making it quite difficult to use the hands properly.
You may find your grip has become weaker and tasks that were once easy – like turning a faucet on – have now become much more difficult. To protect your hands it’s important to become aware of how you are using them. If certain hand motions lead to pain, you need to be more mindful of the movement and try something different instead.
