01 Oct Compression gloves for arthritis
How do compression gloves work?
Compression gloves are designed to promote blood circulation to increase skin temperature and relieve pain. The gloves provide light but firm compression to ease tissue swelling. Additionally, they improve muscle elasticity and reactivity, supporting the proprioceptive capability to adjust an awkward body position.

Do compression gloves help with hand pain and function?
Compression gloves may offer a simple yet effective solution for those struggling with hand pain and stiffness. The gloves enhance circulation in the fingers and help reduce joint swelling by applying gentle, consistent pressure around the hands and finger bases.
Many arthritis compression gloves are also designed to retain heat, which may help relax muscles, increase flexibility, and provide relief from pain. The combination of compression and warmth can make it easier for people with arthritis to move their fingers and hands, possibly improving grip strength and range of motion.
Compression gloves are sometimes recommended by hand therapists and rheumatologists for individuals with hand inflammation or swelling. While many people report relief from using compression gloves, results may vary depending on the individual and the severity of their symptoms.
