Heat Therapy
Heat therapy is equally effective at treating pain and reducing inflammation in the knee joint. It is often recommended to ease joint pain due to several different types of arthritis.
This therapy works by improving lubrication and relaxing muscles – leading to a reduction in pain, swelling, and stiffness. You can use a warm pad or hot water bottle to apply heat. Remember to test any hot application before applying it, especially for an older person or someone who is not able to communicate easily.
