How can you control the pain if you can’t control the weather? We at Lubbock Advanced Physical Medicine in Lubbock, TX, are here to help.

Does Winter Weather Lead to Joint Pain? 

Changes in temperature can affect the body in general, so it’s no surprise that joint pain might potentially be a result of cold weather in winter. That is not the only reason that your joints might be suffering, though. Winter doesn’t just bring a change of weather and scenery. It also provides the opportunity for some risky actions.

For example, snow shoveling injuries and slip and falls on icy surfaces are very common. Slip and falls can lead to joint misalignment. Snow shoveling injuries can include everything from slip and falls to muscle overuse and even blood flow constriction. All of these can easily lead to joint pain.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help 

You might not be able to control the weather, but there is one step you can take toward helping to relieve and prevent joint pain in the winter. Regular chiropractic care might help to:

• Restore and maintain alignment throughout the body
• Reduce inflammation, tenderness, and swelling around joints
• Improve range of motion
• Decrease weakness of the joints
• Relieve pain in and around the joints
• Promote proper blood and oxygen flow through the body

Additionally, our chiropractor can help walk you through stretches and gentle exercises you can do at home to restore and promote joint health. Depending on the source of your joint pain, chiropractic care might be an effective method for addressing it.
