Ease Spondylitis Flare-ups With 5 Everyday Items

Ankylosing spondylitis flares are no doubt agonizing. The burning pain in your neck and back when those flares erupt can take a heavy emotional and physical toll on you. But you can ease spondylitis flare-ups with 5 everyday items that are in your home.

When those episodes come up, all that floods your mind is sourcing relief and you don’t always have to rush on a call with your health provider. You don’t have to languish in such pain, either.

In this guide, I am so excited to share with you some readily available home items you can adapt into relief therapy when those flares come around. 

Heat pads can be relieving

Of course, I am acquainted with that stinging pain and stiffness in your joints when you have a spondylitis flare. In those moments, moving becomes no less challenging than acquiring an MIT doctorate degree.

The good news is an optimized administration of heat can ease you. Such directed application of heat improves blood circulation, ultimately alleviating the pain.

Heating pads can get such a job done! These are cheap and easily available on e-commerce shops or drugstores around. But there is a more brilliant way to source heat pads at home: adapting your washcloth into a heating pad!

First, get your washcloth damp with water and place it in a freezer bag. Good job!

Now, let us keep this in the microwave for 40-45 seconds. After this, you can wrap it in a cloth and rest it gently on the pain sites. Now feel the relief gush in.
