Elbow pain is a common problem in seniors due to the natural wear and tear of aging. Your elbows, just like other joints in the body, contain cartilage that acts as a cushion between bones and helps them move smoothly. But over time, cartilage can start to wear away or become damaged, leading to inflammation and pain.
While this wearing down process is natural in seniors, it can be exacerbated by certain activities such as heavy lifting or repetitive motion. In addition to preventing activities that could potentially aggravate your condition, it's important to take steps to keep your elbow joint healthy with proper preventative care. This begins with regular joint massage and stretches which help increase flexibility and reduce stiffness while gently stimulating circulation in your elbow joint.
Additionally, warm compresses can provide relief from pain or discomfort and promote healing of any associated tissue damage. Keeping your elbow supported with a high-quality brace can also go a long way towards reducing levels of discomfort and encouraging healthy joint mobility for seniors experiencing elbow pain. By following these simple tips, you can reduce discomfort levels associated with elbow pain and ensure healthy joint mobility now and into the future!
