Seniors find natural pain remedies for arthritis more affordable

According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, arthritis and related conditions are the leading cause of disability in the United States affecting nearly 48 million Americans - many of them seniors. Although cost-effective interventions are available to reduce the burden of arthritis, they are currently underused.

A recent article in the Journal of General Internal Medicine stated that many seniors are forced to either skip doses or avoid using their prescribed arthritis or other medications because of high cost. Totally apart from the cost factor, seniors are also prone to feel the side effects of prescription drugs more intensely as their immune system could weaken with age. Recent scares about the side effects of arthritis medication have put some seniors on the path of alternative pain remedies.

Battling arthritis can have a debilitating effect on the mind as well as the body - chronic arthritis sufferers often also suffer from depression. Regular, moderate exercise is one of the ways to cope with arthritis pain and depression recommended by the Arthritis Foundation. Exercise offers a whole host of benefits to people with arthritis by reducing joint pain and stiffness, building strong muscle around the joints, and increasing flexibility and endurance. However, many seniors find that the pain and stiffness caused by their arthritis prevents them from doing the very exercise that could be so beneficial to their condition therefore their search for natural pain relief becomes even more important to them.

"I tried everything to get rid of the arthritic pain in my knee to no avail," says Ed Griffin, who turned to a natural pain remedy that combines the ancient arts of natural healing with advanced biotechnology. "Just five minutes after spraying my knee with Naturally Painless the pain was relieved. I was able to walk, bend and move my knees again. It really worked for me."

Pain and depression are a deadly combination and often result in abuse of analgesics or prescription painkillers, which makes the discovery of a non-ingested and non-invasive natural pain remedy ideal for seniors with arthritis.
