For many people, winter means the holidays and plenty of joint pain. There is nothing like the cold and wind to make your joints ache and stiff. Our chiropractors at North Park Chiropractic have gathered some tips about how people with bad joints can deal with the winter weather. Our team can help if you live in or around Havre de Grace or Bel Air, MD and you are experiencing acute or chronic joint pain.

Keep Your Joints As Warm As Possible

Since the cold irritates the joints, it only makes sense to keep them warm. Double up on socks, wear thermal underwear, wear gloves when sleeping, or use an electric blanket to help stay warm while resting. In the morning, your joints can be loosened up with a hot bath or shower.

Keep Active

Exercising regularly reduces not only your joint pain but also helps your health in many different ways. If the exercises you used to do are now too painful, talk with one of our chiropractors and we will advise you on the best exercises to reduce your joint pain.

Get Enough Sleep

Sleep helps the body work to reduce the inflammation that causes aching joints. If you have trouble sleeping, talk to a doctor to find natural ways to reduce your anxiety and pain to get enough sleep.

Don’t Ignore Your Back Pain

Pain in your back can contribute to pain in your joints, particularly your knees and ankles. Since you naturally try to take weight off of your back, this creates strain on your joints. Fortunately, there are many upper back pain treatment options, such as physical therapy, massage, chiropractic adjustments, and Migun therapy.

See a Chiropractor

Are you looking for low back pain treatment? Back pain and joint pain can greatly benefit from regular sessions with a chiropractor. Chiropractors look at your whole life to find ways to reduce the causes of pain, instead of just treating the painful symptoms.
