April Showers bring May Flowers and Joint Pain?

Well, we are in the home stretch here in Niagara region. Winter will soon be a thing of the past. This week we will be inundated by rain but as they say, “April showers bring May Flowers” and maybe a few aches and pains.

Do you find that in the damp cold rainy weather you feel a little achier? It’s no mystery that there is a correlation. What happens is the atmospheric pressure drops and the fluid in your joints build up causing your soft tissue to swell. This irritates the surrounding nerves and voila!

To combat against this annoyance don’t be afraid of movement. Stretch and exercise. It can help. Certain supplements may also do the trick. Stay positive! It usually involves a bit of trial and error.

You may want to start with a professional such as a reputable Naturopath to find out what is the best treatment for your aches.
