Research Notes on Muscle Stiffness Treatments
Muscle pain associated with many conditions can be treated. Treatment depends on why muscle stiffness is occurring. Stiffness due to exercise should be rested, massaged, iced and heated.1 Stiffness due to arthritis pain may be treated with NSAIDs, an anti-inflammatory diet, and even taking antioxidants.2 Getting the correct amount of calcium in your diet is also important for your body's health.2 Getting regular exercise is important to keep your muscles healthy. For arthritis sufferers, this may mean an exercise like yoga or tai chi.3
Fast Facts:
- Swimming is a great way to help with muscle pain. The cold water eases inflammation and the movement stretches the muscle.4
- Taking an aspirin or ibuprofen works as an anti-inflammatory.
- Eating more foods like fruits and vegetables that naturally contain anti-inflammatories is an important part of a healthy diet.
