The cold weather is making you feel unwell... It may be your body's defense mechanism against the cold.
Feeling unwell due to the cold weather? It may be your body's defensive reaction to the cold.
Over the past few days, the weather has become much colder due to the cold wave.
At this time of year, chiropractic salons
- My shoulders and neck suddenly stiffened
- My lower back feels heavy and it's hard to start moving
- My back feels tense and my breathing feels shallow
- Difficulty moving your body when you wake up in the morning
There are more and more concerns.
We tend to put up with it, thinking, "It can't be helped because it's cold," or "It's like this every winter," but in fact, this is an important sign from your body .
What happens to your body during a cold wave?
When we feel cold, our bodies instinctively mount a defensive response .
- shrug
- Round your back
- It becomes difficult to relax
If this condition continues, muscles and joints will contract and blood flow will decrease.
When blood flow is poor, fatigue substances are less likely to flow, and fatigue is more likely to manifest as stiffness and pain.
The areas that are most susceptible to cold weather are the neck, shoulders, back, and waist .
Symptoms such as "My usual stiff shoulders have suddenly become worse" or "I feel heavy and tired, but not quite as bad as lower back pain" are often caused by a combination of cold and tension.
Winter discomfort is difficult to improve by simply "heating"
When something gets cold, people tend to think that all they need to do is warm it up, but in fact, there are many cases where that alone is not enough.
because,
- My body remains tense
- Breathing remains shallow
- Remaining in a state of difficulty moving
This is because even if you warm up your body, blood circulation will not be good.
The important thing is to release tension and allow your body to move naturally .
In addition, the warmth helps the body to recover more easily.
Why chiropractic is especially useful during cold weather
At the Re・Set chiropractic salon, we don't just massage the surface of the body, but instead address tension deep within the body.
- Easily relaxes muscles stiffened by cold
- Adjust your posture to make breathing easier
- Create a state in the body that facilitates recovery of blood flow and circulation
During cold weather, it is very important to provide gentle care rather than strong stimulation .
Another unique feature of this time of year is that many people feel their body warm, their breathing is easier, and their movements become easier after the treatment.
Important things to do to avoid discomfort
If you leave the stiffness in your body caused by the cold,
- Chronic shoulder and back pain
- It becomes difficult to get rid of fatigue even after sleeping
- Continue to feel unwell until early spring
It may lead to a situation like this.
"I feel a little strange" or "I feel like my body has been heavy lately" - that feeling is the perfect time to take care of yourself.
Build a body that can withstand the cold
With the cold weather continuing at this time, it is important to reset your body and prepare it for recovery.
Before you push yourself too hard, gently warm up your body, which has become stiff from the cold, and prepare to get through the winter comfortably.
