Arthritis Medical Jewellery

Peace of mind for those with arthritis

Your medical information. On you. Keeping you safe.

Wearing a MedicAlert bracelet or medical necklace ensures that paramedics and first responders are aware of your arthritis and any other medical conditions you live with, so that they can support your affected joints and offer appropriate pain relief. Remaining independent and active supports both physical and mental health, resulting in a better quality of life.

Your record can also highlight any medications you are taking to ensure that there aren't any contraindications.

Being a member of MedicAlert will help you take control of your arthritis and offer both you and your family valuable peace of mind by keeping you safe in an emergency.

Managing your arthritis symptoms

By making positive and healthy lifestyle choices, you can make a big difference in how much arthritis affects your quality of life². Small tweaks can result in reduced levels of pain, easier movements and increased enjoyment of every day life!

Sleep

Disturbed sleep can affect your health and make the symptoms of arthritis worse. Try to create a bedtime routine, avoid caffeine or disturbances and avoid large meals late in the day.

Diet

Although there are no diets or supplements that will cure your arthritis, a good diet will provide the vitamins and minerals you need. Keep your food varied and focus on a Mediterranean-style diet.

Exercise

Exercises can stretch, strengthen and stabilise the joints. You can find specific exercises the help all different areas of the body and relieve pain, including hip pain, knee pain or tennis elbow.

Accessories

There are many items that are available to purchase that can support you, such as specialised shoes that help distribute weight to reduce the strain on the joints in your hips, feet and knees.

Emotional Health

The emotional effects of arthritis can have as much impact as physical symptoms. Try to keep up with activities you enjoy or take up new ones, stay connected with friends and family and stay active!

Be Organised

Ensure you take medications on time to reduce the impact of symptoms as much as possible. Take charge of your treatment plan and track symptoms to help your doctor determine what works best for you.

Your medical information. On You. Keeping you safe.

More than 10 million people in the UK have arthritis or similar conditions that affect the joints¹. Whilst many believe that only older individuals can be affected by these conditions, they can actually be experienced by people of all ages, including children.

Arthritic conditions can cause joint pain, stiffness, inflammation, weakness and swelling, all impacting the activities of daily living. Whilst there is no cure for arthritis, treatment including medication and physiotherapy can slow it down and help manage your symptoms.

MedicAlert membership costs less than 10p a day, with a wide range of medical ID jewellery at affordable prices.

Frequently asked questions

Is MedicAlert's medical ID jewellery the same as copper bracelets for arthritis?

No, they are different products. Some people believe that a copper bracelet can be worn to reduce the pains associated with arthritis. MedicAlert ID jewellery has details of someone's condition engraved on it, so in case of an emergency the first responder can identify care needed.

What can I have engraved on my medical ID jewellery

Engraved on your medical ID jewellery is your membership number, the 24/7 emergency helpline number and your most vital information, so we can engrave details about your medication.

Why should you wear arthritis medical jewellery?

In case of an emergency, and someone with the condition cannot communicate, the jewellery will have all the vital medical information of that person so correct care can be administered.

What a fantastic company MedicAlert is! I now feel totally reassured that wherever I am the information needed is always with me.

I've had 3 over the years for my long-standing health conditions, and I've always been impressed by the knowledge and helpfulness of the persons on the phone. My new bracelet recently arrived and it is always so reassuring to have it on my wrist. Thank you - and what an important organisation!

MedicAlert Member

I wanted to say a big thank you to Rebecca who sorted out my problem on Friday in a caring and efficient fashion. I had lost my bracelet and was within a few days of flying to Vancouver. My replacement bracelet has been received. Thank you Rebecca.

Betty

MedicAlert is my lifeline in case of an emergency. My family has the peace of mind to know that if anything was to happen to me, I will be in good hands and they would find out immediately. I do enjoy life better knowing that I have this protection and reassurance. Thank you MedicAlert!

Helen

While in Hospital I found the Wallet cards extremely useful as i could give it to all the doctors and nurses that were attending to me so they could quickly see all of my conditions and medications!
