Note that in cases where the joint is inflamed cold should be applied instead of heat. To do this we can use ice packs or a frozen food package, but always cover it with a cloth or towel so that it is not in direct contact with the skin.

One of the foods that can further help in reducing joint pain is fresh pineapple. This is because it contains an enzyme called bromelain which reduces inflammation. It is important to eat this fruit fresh, not canned, since canned fruit loses its properties.
