A massage chair can be your permanent solution for body pains related to the lower back, shoulders, neck, arms, calves, and feet. Investing in a premium quality massage chair can make your day-to-day life easier by relieving you from stress and acute or chronic back pain. However, will a massage chair help if your joints are paining? What if you have arthritis? The pain caused by arthritis is terrible, and it doesn't even have a permanent medical solution.
Introduction
More than 52.5 million adults in the US are diagnosed with arthritis. Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis are two of the most common types of arthritis in the world. In Osteoarthritis, the protective tissues that guard the ends of your bones die over a period of time. It causes pain in the joints of your hands, spine, hips, and other prominent areas. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a form of autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the healthy cells and causes joint pains. Though massage therapy can not cure arthritis, it can, however, control its symptoms.

Can A Massage Chair Help With Arthritis?
Arthritis has no permanent medical solution. Arthritis patients take OTC painkillers every day to endure severe pain. Several studies have shown that a massage chair can help with arthritis-related pain management. Massage has many benefits, and managing body pain is one of the most prominent ones. 15-20 minutes of high-intensity massage every alternative day can keep your arthritis pain at bay.
Painkillers can have other side-effects on your vital organs, but a massage chair doesn't have any side effects at all. A conventional massage chair is usually known for its lower back massage, but you should buy a modern massage chair for your back, hands, and leg massage as well.

How Does A Massage Chair Help With Arthritis?
1. Massage Chair Improves Blood Circulation
A massage chair helps improve blood circulation and lymph flow in the body. Arthritis causes stiffness in the muscles, which creates by-products that get deposited in the blood veins. These deposits restrict the blood flow and cause pain and swelling in different body parts such as calves and ankles. With your massage chair's help, your blood circulation can increase, and these deposits will go away from the blood veins.
Also, massage chairs help increase the flow of lymphatic fluids that accelerates the detoxification process. In this process, all those by-products and deposits get washed out from your body, and the pain and swelling refuges to a great degree. Titan Pro Jupiter XL can be a great choice as an effective 3D massage chair that improves blood circulation. It has individual heating pads on each side of the lower lumbar area, seat, and calf. Heat therapy, when used with massage therapy, increases blood circulation.
2. Massage Chair Helps in Reducing The Arthritis Pain
Body pain is one of the worst things that arthritis brings with itself. If you are suffering from this condition, you know how difficult it is sometimes to bear the pain. According to many medical pieces of research, it is found that different types of massage therapies can help reduce arthritis pain.
A massage chair uses 3D and 4D massaging technologies to tackle spinal pain. It gives air compression massage therapy to relieve you from calves, arms, forehands, and fingers related pain. The reflexology foot massagers put pressure on Acupuncture points in your feet, which give pain-relieving signals to your nervous system. In short, a massage chair can take care of each and every area of your body affected by arthritis pain.
3. Massage Chair Relaxes Muscle Stiffness and Increases Mobility
Arthritis affects the muscle groups surrounding the joints of the spine, hips, knees, shoulders, elbows, and fingers.
These muscles are made to work harder than before in order to achieve proper mobility. Due to this, the muscles become sore and stiff. A massage chair reduces these muscles' soreness and stiffness by using massage techniques like kneading, tapping, rolling, and shiatsu pressure. A 4D massage chair, like Osaki OS-4D Escape Massage Chair, uses its advanced rollers to go deeper into the muscles surrounding the spinal joints and knead the pain and tension out of them. Once the muscles surrounding your joints get relaxed and stress-free, your body's mobility automatically gets increased.
4. Massage Chair Corrects Your Spinal Alignment
Arthritis can have an adverse effect on your spine's default alignment and curvature. If you develop spinal arthritis, your back will get slightly curved, and it will be excruciating. It doesn't happen overnight, but if you don't do something when it begins to happen, it might spread on your neck, thighs, and shoulders as well. It will restrict your mobility and induce a great degree of pain in your entire body.
To tackle spinal arthritis, you should go ahead and buy Infinity Imperial 3D/4D Massage Chair, as it comes equipped with spinal correction and waist twist technology. You can also purchase any zero gravity massage chair for this cause. A zero gravity massage chair can fix the alignment of your back and manage spinal pain effortlessly. Osaki OS-PRO 4D Paragon can be an excellent choice for a premium zero-gravity 4D massage chair from a reputed brand.
5. Massage Chair Boosts The Levels of Pain-Relieving Hormones - Endorphins and Dopamine
A therapeutic massage session increases endorphins and dopamine levels, which are also known as 'Happy Hormones.' It also reduces the level of stress-causing hormones, known as Cortisol. By reducing your mental stress and lifting your mood, a massage chair helps relieve your pain. If your mind is happy and without any stress, the intensity of arthritis pain will get lowered even without any painkiller. According to a published study, massage therapy helps in producing various neurotransmitters that help with pain syndrome.
