Can Sensible Use Of Sunbeds Help Cure Arthritic Pain In Neck, Back, Hands And Knee?
Hi, I wondered whether using a sun bed/tanning booth can help with arthritic pain, I have pain in neck, back, hands & knee. As he warmer sunny days seem to be more pain free I wondered whether sensible use of sunbeds could help in the same sort of way with pain relief?

Hi and thanks for the query.
I am Dr. Alok and very pleased to be assisting you with your health questions today.
yes, any form of heat can help in arthritis pain. But make sure not to burn yourself.
And this is not a alternative to physiotherapy and good lifestyle. Exercise is must.
Hope this helps and provides answers to your question.
I wish you good health.
