Why do we sometimes feel pain more in the colder weather? Read on for the theories below, and ways to help yourself too !

Thickening Synovial Fluid: The lubricating fluid in your joints becomes thicker and less effective at cushioning, increasing friction and stiffness.
Muscle & Tissue Tightness: Cold causes muscles, tendons, and scar tissue to contract and tighten, restricting movement and increasing pain.
Reduced Blood Flow: The body decreases circulation to extremities to keep the core warm, leading to stiffness and less oxygen reaching muscles.
Barometric Pressure Changes: Lower air pressure (often with cold fronts) allows tissues to expand, putting pressure on nerves and inflamed joints.
Less Activity: Cold weather discourages movement, and inactivity leads to increased stiffness and weaker joints, creating a cycle of pain.
Psychological Impact: Darker, colder days can lower mood (SAD) and increase pain perception, making you more aware of existing aches

Stay Active: Gentle movement (yoga, walking) keeps joints lubricated and muscles strong.
Dress Warmly: Layer up with thermal wear and gloves to keep joints insulated.
Keep Moving: Even short periods of activity help circulation and flexibility.
Warm Your Home: Maintain a comfortable temperature indoors.
Eat Well: Anti-inflammatory foods can help, while processed foods might worsen pain
