While, unfortunately, there is no cure for arthritis, there are a number of useful gadgets and home accessories that you can use in your day to day life which can help you to manage the symptoms and difficulties that arise as a result of your condition.
If you’re looking to make life around the house easier, we offer a range of products that can help manage symptoms and improve daily living. Here are some items you might consider:
- Arthritis Gloves: These specially designed arthritis gloves provide gentle compression and warmth to help relieve joint pain and stiffness in the hands. They can improve circulation and offer support while performing everyday tasks.
- Mobility Aids: We supply a variety of mobility aids, such as walking sticks, crutches, and rollators, which can assist with balance, stability, and reducing joint stress while walking.
- Hot and Cold Therapy Products: Heat and cold therapy can provide relief for joint pain and inflammation. You could try using cold pads, and hot and cold packs or joint wraps that can be applied to affected joints for soothing relief.
- Orthopaedic Supports: We offer a range of orthopaedic supports, including wrist braces, knee braces, and ankle supports, which can help stabilise and support joints, reducing pain and promoting healing.
- Ergonomic Tools: Ergonomically designed tools can make daily tasks easier for individuals with rheumatoid arthritis. Use easy-grip kitchen utensils, jar openers, button hooks, and other aids to assist with gripping and handling objects.
- Medication Dispensers: Medication organisers and spill dispenser can help ensure you take your medications on time and in the correct dosage. They can be particularly useful if you have multiple medications to manage.
