Many people notice that with the arrival of the cold season, the joints begin to hurt more. This may be due to a decrease in temperature, a change in atmospheric pressure, and an increase in humidity.In cold weather, blood circulation in the joints slows down, which can cause pain and stiffness, especially in people with chronic joint diseases.
Our orthopedist recommends a few simple tips to reduce discomfort:
Keep your joints warm: wear gloves, hats, warm clothes that protect against the wind. Get moving: Even light exercise improves circulation and reduces stiffness. Moisturize the air: dry air can worsen the condition of the joints, so a humidifier at home will help create comfortable conditions. Do not forget about massages and warm compresses: this is a great way to relieve tension and pain.
At Mom's House, orthopedists will help you determine the causes of pain and choose the optimal treatment or prevention to keep your joints healthy even in cold weather. We work for you every day.
