IMAK Compression Arthritis Gloves (Grey, S)

Product Information

Since hand sizes, pain levels and treatment goals vary, arthritis gloves aren’t a one-size-fits-all product. Look for gloves that are snug enough to provide the desired level of compression, but not so tight that they inhibit blood flow. If you have rheumatoid arthritis, you will most likely feel it first in the small joints of your hands. Often leading to stiffness and swelling, this can make day-to-day activities a challenge.

IMAK Arthritis Gloves are one of our bestselling products thanks to their innovative design, and now you can enjoy the same level of arthritic pain relief without sacrificing your usual daily activities. IMAK Active Arthritis Gloves feature anti-slip dots across the entire palm and fingers to give you better grip. Once we narrowed down our options, we compared each treatment's benefits to its price tag. While some choices on our list may be more expensive, we wanted to give a wide range of options that would fit all needs and budgets. Based on all of these factors, we compiled this list of the best gloves to relieve arthritis symptoms.

But, ultimately, it is up to the individual on what coverage makes more sense for their personal life and symptoms. Your level of mobility during the day can impact the coverage decision. “For daytime use, I want the fingertips to be free but the fingers covered,” Hearne says. “For nighttime use, the whole hand should be covered.”

IMAK® Arthritis Active Gloves also provide excellent grip with anti-slip design on fingers and palms.

Not all gloves are made to be worn at all times. Some are specifically for day wear while others are only for use during certain activities. If you’re experiencing chronic pain during the day or pain that occurs at night, look for gloves that are designed for more long-term wear.
