Where two bones meet is called a joint. Joints are responsible for keeping the skeleton together, as well as being the facilitator of motion. All bones except for the hyoid bone, a bone located in the neck, are attached to joints. The hyoid is the only free-floating bone. There exist different types of joints, fixed and mobile. Those that are fixed don't allow the connected bones to move (or, at least not much). Those that are mobile are either highly mobile, like most ball-and-socket joints, or somewhat immobile, like the joints connecting the vertebrae. A large majority of joints are mobile, or synovial joints.

Inflammation, swelling and degenerative illnesses due to arthritis can occur throughout the body, but some junctions are more likely to have symptoms. Examples of such troubled joints can be found throughout the hand and arm, at the shoulder, wrist, knuckle, and finger.

Joint pain relief can help ease the stiffness of arthritis. One way to acheive this is by applying heat. There are different methods of heating the joints to provide temporary pain relief. Any source of heat used should be safe and comfortable. Good examples are hot water bottle, electric heating pads or heat lamps. Ointments can also be used to increase blood flow in the affected area, which has a similar effect to applying heat to the joint.

There are many ointments that can provide joint pain relief, either by themselves or combined with other treatments. Many exercises, including yoga, can also bring joint pain relief; in fact, exercise can be regarded as a natural arthritis remedy that costs nothing and is easy to apply.

A natural arthritis remedy will work for many people with arthritis. Some people find acupuncture effective at relieving their joint pains. Others find that self-hypnosis or guided imagery are effective at dispelling their pain. There are several other methods such as physical therapy, massage, relaxation training, and biofeedback that help people reduce their arthritis pain without drugs.
