Types of gloves that help reduce swelling and pain in the hands

Different types of gloves are able to alleviate swelling and pain in different ways. Whether one chooses heat-based gloves or copper gloves for hand pain should depend on what condition you are suffering from, when you intend to wear it, and for how long. Some are designed for short periods of use, while others are intended to be worn for long periods of time for best results.

Full-Length Compression Gloves

If you are looking for copper gloves for hand pain, look no further. Full-length gloves like those offered by Dr. Arthritis use compression as a method to reduce swelling and alleviate hand pain while simultaneously increasing range of motion. Compression also helps to increase blood circulation in the affected area. 

Full-length compression gloves are ideal for anybody who does not want to compromise their daily routine and activities as a result of their discomfort. The compressive fabric, infused with 88% copper, also offers anti-microbial properties that makes every pair ideal for all-day wear to maximize positive effects.

Offering a helpful size guide, Dr. Arthritis can assist you in finding compression gloves for swelling that are able to meet your needs and reduce your pain. As an added bonus, these gloves are available in a variety of colors and the infusion of copper in the fabric contributes to reducing any odors that may result from long-term use. 

Heated Mittens/Therapy Gloves

If you are wondering how to help with joint stiffness in your hands, heated mittens, or therapy gloves are the way to go.

Unlike compression gloves, heated mittens are designed to be used for short periods of time to provide excellent pain relief and significantly reduce swelling. Minor injuries may require no more than fifteen minutes of use, while more serious pain may require one to wear them for a bit longer.

The warmth provided by the Dr. Arthritis heated mittens help to increase blood flow and reduce pain in hands and joints. They also include lavender scented, removable flaxseed heating pads, making every pair easy to heat up and reuse. In order to maximize pain reduction, your hands should be kept inside the mittens for the entire term of use.

Open-Fingertip Compression Gloves

Dealing with pain and inflammation in the hands and fingers can lead to a significant amount of inconvenience. Not being able to enjoy your full range of motion can be frustrating debilitating at times. However, open-fingertip compression gloves have the potential to seriously reduce pain and swelling.

By compressing your hands, these fitted gloves increase blood flow and reduce pain. For added convenience, the exposure of the tips of the fingers allows for more versatility and better movement – wear them for up to eight hours while still being able to perform routine tasks such as playing sports, typing, or using your smartphone.
