When the temperature drops, many people notice their joints becoming stiff, sore, or achy β especially those with arthritis or past injuries. But why does this happen?
Cold weather can cause muscles and tendons to tighten, reducing flexibility and restricting blood flow around the joints. The drop in barometric pressure can also make tissues expand slightly, increasing pressure on nerves and joints. The result? More stiffness, pain, and discomfort.
Thatβs where acupuncture comes in. Acupuncture helps warm the body from within by improving blood circulation, reducing inflammation, and releasing natural pain-relieving chemicals. It also helps relax tight muscles, which eases joint pressure and promotes better mobility.
Regular acupuncture sessions can help you stay active and pain-free through the colder months β and many patients report feeling not only more comfortable, but more energized overall.
