It is no secret that a drop in temperature can mean a very real increase of joint pain for many people.
That is why we would like to offer a few tips and tricks to help keep the discomfort at bay.
Bundle Up
This one seems quite obvious, yet it is an important and sometimes overlooked step. When choosing your outfit, remember to add layers, they can help to trap heat to keep you warm. Wear scarves, gloves and thick socks to help reduce the shock of cold on your joints

Eat Healthy
Incorporate these healthy foods in your diet:
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: Salmon and nuts can help with inflammation
  • Vitamin K: Leafy greens, such as kale, spinach and cabbage contain pain relieving properties
  • Vitamin C: Oranges, sweet red peppers and tomatoes can halt cartilage loss that comes with arthritis​




Stay Active
​People are less likely to work out when its chilly and damp. Exercising helps to lubricate the joints, as well as, help prevent stiffness. Try bringing your workout indoors and choose low impact aerobic moves that are easy on the joints. Lift weights to build joint-supporting muscles.

Take Supplements
  • ​Vitamin D: Vital for bone health, deficiencies in vitamin D can contribute to osteoporosis, among many other symptoms. It is recommended that you supplement vitamin D in the winter, when you are less likely to derive it from sunlight
  • Glucosamine-Chondroitin: This supplement can help counteract the effects of aging on joint by contributing to the health of your cartilage. Some studies that suggest that glucosamine can be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. 
  • Fish Oil: Rich in Omega-3's, fish oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce morning stiffness, swelling and tendernes 

Get A Massage
Predominantly known as a means for relaxation, massage has an astonishing number of other benefits. Receiving massage regularly has been shown to reduce pain in people with arthritis. Massage can help to reduce pain and stiffness in the muscles surrounding the joints, as well as, improve range of motion.

Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT)
For some people the pain caused from arthritis can become debilitataing and greatly affect one's quality of life. While many of the aforementioned suggestions can help to improve pain sympotms in joints, they do not reverse joint degeneration. RIT has the capacity to restore cartialage by stimulating a healing response at the site of degeneration. Many studies have found RIT to significantly improve levels of pain and range of motion in the joint. Check out our RIT packages.
