Do you notice that your arthritis becomes more painful in the winter? Does it become harder to go about your daily activities? Arthritis can hinder many qualities of life — from work to hobbies to overall mobility. Some people are so affected by arthritis that they cannot work and have to go on disability. If you are suffering from the chronic pain of arthritis, or you think you might be, call Rehab Advantage & Sports Medicine to schedule a consultation with one of our physical therapists. Physical therapy is a safe, healthy, and effective way to treat arthritic pain. Although cold weather does not cause arthritis, it can aggravate existing aches and pains. According to the Arthritis Foundation, cold temperatures can increase pain sensitivity, slow blood circulation, and cause muscle spasms. Luckily, there are some things you can do to help alleviate your arthritis symptoms in the winter, including: • Keep warm. If the winter chill bothers your joints, the best antidote is to bundle up! Layer up with hats, gloves, and scarves. You could also take a warm bath to help your stiff joints. • Exercise. When you’re in pain, exercise might be the last thing on your mind. But did you know that getting active is the single most effective way to alleviate arthritis pain and keep your joints happy? Exercising can include anything from taking a yoga class to walking around your neighborhood. • Practice healthy eating habits. Did you know that your diet can contribute to your levels of inflammation and, consequently, how much pain you’re in? Opting for anti-inflammatory foods can significantly improve arthritis symptoms. If you believe you need some extra help when it comes to pain relief this season, don’t hesitate to contact Rehab Advantage & Sports Medicine. Our dedicated team can help you start feeling better, so you can focus on enjoying this winter with your loved ones. ARTHRITIS & COLD WEATHER
