Winter can exacerbate chronic bone pain, including chronic back pain. Cold temperatures can lead to muscle pain and spasm, which increases discomfort. Maintaining spinal health during the winter involves a multifaceted approach.

Dr. Bahaa Moqled, Consultant in Orthopedic Surgery at Cairo University, said that there are ways to help overcome the cold weather and its effect on the bones.

Which includes the following points:

Do exercises regularly

Stretching exercises help support the spine and reduce stress. They can enhance flexibility, and prevent muscle stiffness that is exacerbated by cold weather. For some cases, spinal injections may be recommended to relieve persistent discomfort.

Chronic back pain

Medical treatments for chronic back pain vary, ranging from pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications to physical therapy. Patients may also benefit from chiropractic care or acupuncture to address underlying issues that contribute to back pain.

Lifestyle modifications

In addition, lifestyle modifications, such as wearing comfortable orthopedic shoes, can provide relief, and individuals with chronic back pain should consult a physician for medical advice and treatment plans.
