This can put pressure on the spine and, causing pain, pull on the sensitive nerve roots leaving the spine.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Additionally, a decrease in barometric pressure or temperature can cause swelling and pain if joints are already inflamed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">So, the answer is short, but what does science say?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Although there has been some speculation in the scientific community as to why back pain is triggered by cold weather, there is still no question about the fact that it happens. Several major studies have shown that a true association exists between low temperatures and pain reports.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For instance, a large study of almost 135,000 construction workers who spent several hours a day working in the cold was conducted in Sweden in 2012.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Researchers found that the men who worked in colder temperatures had more as compared to individuals who spent most of their days working indoors,<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Reported incidents of pain in the back and neck.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">In Finland, a second analysis had very similar findings as well<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For many factors, this may be the case.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">COLD, dark days can lead to depression, which can aggravate back pain<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Studies have shown that cold weather and dark days can lead to what is known as seasonal depression which can cause back pain or aggravate it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">A form of depression that usually occurs annually, beginning in the fall and continuing through the winter months, is seasonal affective disorder, also known as SAD.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">There are a variety of variables that can induce seasonal depression, including the decreased amount of sunlight throwing off the circadian rhythm of your body, a decrease in serotonin levels due to decreased sunlight levels, or a decrease in serotonin levels.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Whatever the cause, in individuals who experience the seasonal affective disorder, back pain is a very normal occurrence.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>[<strong><em>Worth Reading:<\/em><\/strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/best-yoga-mat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Best Yoga Mats <\/a><\/em>]<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_Lower_Back_Pain_be_a_Pain_in_the_Kidneys\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt;\">Will Lower Back Pain be a Pain in the Kidneys?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Completely it does.

Lower back pain may also occur on one side of the back, which is common, too.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It may be sciatica (nerve pain) if the pain is shot from the lower back into one or both legs, but it is not always the case. There are many parts of the lower back, such as facet joints, sacroiliac joints, muscles, or inflammation of the bursa, which can cause pain to radiate into the legs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>[<strong><em>Worth Reading:<\/em><\/strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/best-yoga-mat-for-carpet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Best Yoga Mats for Carpets <\/a><\/em>]<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Treat_Cold_Weather_with_Back_Pain\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt;\">How to Treat Cold Weather with <a href=\"https:\/\/villageec.com\/blog\/how-to-deal-with-back-pain-in-cold-weather\/\" rel=\"sponsored\">Back Pain<\/a><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">At any stage in their lives, back pain plagues everyone and everything, whether it&#8217;s because of an accident, their diet, their posture, a disease, or aging pains. Cold weather is one thing that can supposedly intensify or worsen back pain, though. In their lumbar area, those who chronically suffer from pain frequently claim that the condition deteriorates in the winter months.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">And men and women who don&#8217;t feel this kind of discomfort year-round can see their primary care providers about it as it starts getting colder outside. But what about the cold that gives rise to chronic back pain? To support the connection between the two, is there empirical evidence? Read on to learn how, in cold weather, to cope with back pain.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>[<strong><em>Worth Reading:<\/em><\/strong><em> <a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/best-yoga-mat-for-traveling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Best Travel Yoga Mats <\/a><\/em>]<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Cold_Weather_Going_to_Make_Your_Body_Ache\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt;\">Is Cold Weather Going to Make Your Body Ache?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">There are numerous studies that indicate that cold temperatures cause muscle tendons and ligaments to contract throughout the body (especially along the spine), although there is no definitive scientific evidence to support the theory. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This leads to limited movements and painful inflammation, resulting in extreme pains and lumbar aches. In both sick and healthy people, winter weather routinely leads to a spike in complaints of neck pain, hip pain, back pain, and general body aches, with back pain being the second most common reason people visit their doctors after colds and influenza in the winter months.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"READ_THIS_NEXT\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>READ THIS NEXT<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/what-is-ash-brown-hair-dye\/\">What is Ash Brown Hair Dye<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/how-to-wrap-natural-hair-at-night\/\">How to Wrap Natural Hair with a Scarf<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/best-hair-growth-products-for-black-hair\/\">Top 10 Best Hair Growth products<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/does-creatine-have-calories-benefits-side-effects\/\">Does Creatine have Calories<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/how-many-calories-in-a-chicken-leg-benefits-diet\/\">How many Calories in a chicken leg<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/happens-when-kidneys-fail-causes-signs-treatment\/\">What happens When Kidneys fail Causes Signs<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/which-food-is-cool-for-body-cold-fruits-for-body\/\">10 Amazing Cold Fruits for the Body Is So Famous<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/healthycyte.com\/the-most-common-side-effects-of-antibiotics\/\">The Most Common Side Effects of Antibiotics\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lower Back Pain A lot of fun things come with the cooler months of the year: beautiful weather, an escape from the sun, fall sports, snow, holidays, and more.
