Los Alamitos Elder Care for Arthritis Pain and Depression

It's not surprising to find severe arthritis pain increases depression in seniors and the elderly.  What is surprising is the alternative treatments that can help alleviate chronic osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis pain.

Everyone knows moderate exercise, especially movements to improve flexibility and strengthen joints, helps lower arthritis pain and swelling.  But in addition to physical exercise, seniors and elders suffering from pain and depression should try massage therapy, getting enough rest and eating a healthy diet.  Webmd.com also suggests people with depression listen to classical music for an hour a day to minimize both pain and feelings of depression. For more information on unsuspected reasons of depression, watch the slideshow "Sneaky Depression Triggers as You Age" on Webmd.com. 

Hiring a Caregiver, Home Helper or Senior Companion to help with housecleaning, shopping, laundry and other chores will also take some of the stress from your life, both physically and emotionally.  A-1 Home Care Agency has been helping disabled, seniors and elderly living in Los Alamitos, Irvine, Anaheim, Newport Beach, Brea and other Orange County cities since 1991.  We are well known for our superior Elder Care, After Surgery and Alzheimer in home care services.
