Many other factors, especially vitamin D, are effective on the basis of the pains observed during the seasons. Especially in summer, vitamin D from the sun helps to reduce joint pain, while in the winter with reduced serotonin and oxytocin effect, one can feel more tired or unhappy. Physiotherapist Çağıl Ertürk giving information about joint pain said: “In winter, especially muscle pains that we define as myalgia, as well as rheumatic pain can remind itself quite often.”

“People are faced with problems such as myalgia, rheumatism and fibromyalgia with the presence of inflammatory conditions commonly found in muscles, joints and soft tissues similar to the infection we call inflammation. In addition, the emotional state change that we call emotional should not be ignored” – with these words a physiotherapist from Istanbul Gelisim University Lecturer Çağıl Ertürk warned that “as a result of all these factors, our immune system decreases and we look for ways to cope with pain. Preventive health services should be used as a preparation for winter before the pains show themselves.”

EXERCISE RECOMMENDATION TO REDUCE PAIN

Emphasizing that exercise should be done to cope with pain, Çağıl Ertürk said: “Before the cold of the winter begins to feel well, walk outdoors with suitable clothes and shoes. Exercises to stretch your muscles after walking should be done. Outdoor walks and exercises both help to maintain physical condition and help to make serotonin secretion and make us feel better”.

“CHOOSE MASSAGE THERAPIES”

Ertürk stated that widespread pains that last long will cause muscle spasms and added: “Muscle spasms also significantly reduce your quality of daily life. If the pain-spasm-pain cycle cannot be solved fundamentally, it causes long-term chronic pain, making winter months unbearable. There are many side effects of unconscious muscle relaxants and pain medications, and they do not provide a permanent solution. Try to use natural methods instead. You can choose massage therapies for muscle relaxation by physiotherapists to the concerned tissue. With appropriate techniques and appropriate oils, massage treatments to relieve muscle provides permanent relaxation while removing muscle spasms, and strengthens the immune system, improves the quality of life by inducing serotonin secretion in the natural way.”

WEIGHT CONTROL IS REQUIRED

Ertürk continued as follows: “Pay attention to your diet. Prefer anti-inflammatory foods with omega-3 content instead of high carbohydrate diets that increase inflammation. Excess weight causes joints and muscles to overload, which forces the joint-muscle structure. Excessive load on the joints of the person causes pains as a result of arthritis problems. If you do not put too much strain on your joints, your physical structure is preserved and helps you to spend your daily life painless and quality.”
