As the weather turns colder❄, many people experience stiffness and joint pain💥, especially among older adults. Pain can be exacerbated by conditions like degenerative arthritis or old injuries. Cold weather changes the body's tolerance for pain, increasing joint sensitivity to cold and tenderness🥶.
Causes of winter muscle and bone pain💥
1. Muscle contraction The brain instructs muscles to contract to retain heat, causing blood vessels to constrict, blood supply to decrease, and nerves to be compressed by tight tissue, causing pain.
2. Posture problems : To resist the cold, the body will shrink the shoulders and bend the back. Maintaining this posture for a long time will cause muscle strain and increase pain.
3. Reduced blood supply to muscles
Vasoconstriction causes blood to concentrate deep in the body, reducing blood flow to the muscles, lowering cell metabolism rates, and prolonging pain duration.
4. The joint fluid becomes thicker. Cold weather causes the water content of the joint fluid to decrease, and the viscosity reduces lubrication, making the joints more susceptible to irritation.
5. Reduced activity: Cold weather makes people reluctant to go out. Lack of exercise leads to reduced blood circulation and aggravated fascia inflammation.
Improvement methods 🩺
1. Hot compress: Use a hot towel or heating pad to apply heat to the painful area to improve blood circulation and reduce low temperature stimulation.
2. Stretching
Stretching can relax overly tight muscles, increase blood circulation, and improve blood supply to muscles and tendons.
3. Warm up and exercise
Warm up after waking up to improve flexibility and mobility. It is recommended to do 30-60 minutes of aerobic exercise every day, such as walking or jogging.
4. Acupoint massage
Press the Weizhong, Chengshan, Fuyang, and Yanglingquan points to relieve pain. Press each point for about 5 seconds and repeat 10 times.
Whether it is winter or summer, proper exercise is beneficial to the body. If the above methods cannot relieve the pain, Fumeijian 🌟 flagship products such as Japanese electronic acupuncture instruments , Japanese optical hot spring mats , and Korean Jiuyuan mats can help you improve 😚‼
