Why Winter Makes Your Joints Ache and How Be Well Acupuncture Can Help

By Toni Twitty

ands are all too common during the cold winter months. But why does this happen and how can Be Well Acupuncture in Edmond, OK help you find natural joint pain relief this season?


🌬️ Why Winter Causes Joint Pain

Cold weather can affect your body in several ways that make joint pain and stiffness worse, especially for those with arthritis, old injuries, or chronic inflammation.

💧 Reduced Circulation

When it’s cold, blood vessels constrict to preserve body heat. This decreases circulation to your muscles and joints, leading to stiffness, soreness, and that ‘creaky’ feeling.

🌦️ Changes in Barometric Pressure

Fluctuating pressure can cause tissues around the joints to expand, which often leads to increased discomfort particularly in those managing arthritis or old sports injuries.

🧊 Tight Muscles

Lower temperatures make muscles contract and tighten, pulling on nearby joints and limiting flexibility. Over time, this can increase inflammation and restrict movement.

🛋️ Less Movement

During winter, most people move less, which leads to reduced mobility and greater stiffness. Lack of regular activity also allows inflammation to build up.

If your knees, hips, or shoulders ache more when it’s cold outside, you’re not alone. Many Oklahomans experience this same seasonal discomfort every year.
