Weather of Arabia - If you suffer from a disc, back pain, a herniated disc, or any health problems in the spine, you must feel the cold before others, as if it is creeping into your bones and hurting you, but does the cold really affect back pain? Are there real reasons why your back reacts and hurts whenever the temperature drops?

Well, in fact, the cold may be the enemy of back pain, as many people who suffer from back health problems say that cold conditions make their pain and symptoms worse. A study in Sweden surveyed about 135,000 construction workers and found that men who work in low temperatures They reported more neck and back pain than those working at higher temperatures. This is not the only study that supports the idea that cold is a dangerous poison for back pain.

The reasons that lead to an increase in back pain and problems in the fall and winter seasons

In general, in cold weather, your muscles can become stiff and tight, which can increase pressure on painful areas. In addition, stress and additional effort exacerbate the pain and increase the risk of muscle strain or other health problems.

The effect of atmospheric pressure on back pain

Atmospheric pressure decreases significantly with temperature changes, and this affects the nerves in the lower back, which already suffer from health problems and are therefore very sensitive to any impact.

The effect of body stress on back pain

Exercising the body in cold climates, with health problems mainly in the spine and back, will increase back pain and its symptoms due to muscle stiffness in cold climates.

How can you relieve back and spine pain in cold weather?

  • Stay warm: Wear more clothes in cold weather and try to keep your body warm using various heating methods to avoid the cold reaching the bones. You can also use warm water bottles and place them on the site of pain.
  • Stay active: Commit to exercising to keep your body flexible and avoid muscle stiffness in cold weather, but beware of strenuous exercises, especially if you suffer from health problems such as a disc or herniated disc.
