But they only target symptom and not disease itself. Studies even show that continual use of these NSAIDs may even cause joint deterioration thus making arthritis worse. Modern medicine does not have much to offer for cure of this disease.

The traditional temporary arthritis pain relief medications available leave a lot to be desired. Other pain solutions can be relied on to achieve arthritis pain relief. Massage therapy, hydrotherapy and cold packs are a few of simple methods of pain management. Herbal remedies such as ginger, willow bark and fish oils and well-known cartilage constituents glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are also promising a lot in revolutionizing treatment of arthritis. Aside from symptomatic relief they offer, they actually interfere with origin of disease. They are also being considered to help body rebuild functioning joints.

Those discovered treatments among many might just be best among elusive arthritis pain relief that are commercially available. But above all, no matter how clichéd it may sound, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
