How cooler weather affects your body
Muscle and joint tension: Cold temperatures cause muscles to contract to conserve heat, leading to tightness, stiffness, and an increased risk of injury.
Joint inflammation: The combination of muscle contraction and changes in barometric pressure can lead to increased pressure, inflammation, and discomfort in joints.
Reduced circulation: Cold weather can constrict blood vessels, leading to reduced blood flow to muscles and joints, which can make them feel stiffer and less flexible.
Inactivity: People are often less active in colder months, which can exacerbate stiffness and discomfort.
By realigning the spine, chiropractors can help restore joint function and flexibility, which is especially helpful for staying active during winter and for those with conditions like arthritis. Additionally, chiropractic care may help support immune function, which can be beneficial during cold and flu season.
