Water exercise is a gentle way to exercise joints and muscles. Just being in the water allows the muscles to relax. The soothing heat and buoyancy of warm water make it a safe, ideal environment for relieving arthritis pain and stiffness. Also, water creates resistance which builds muscle strength. Using a spa can massage your body and help you relax tight muscles.
Heat and cold applications: Applying heat and cold applications to the back intermittently can reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Use a cold pack on the area for 20 minutes at a time and several times per day. Hot packs are best used after two or three days and should be applied to the area in pain. A person can use hot packs, a heating pad or a heat lamp on the lowest setting.
