Hot Weather & Pain Management Utah

The summer heat is just around the corner here in Utah. For those dealing with chronic pain conditions, these seasonal shifts come with changing symptoms. We’ve experienced that the warmer temperatures can cause certain chronic pain disorders to flare up—seeming worse and more uncomfortable. Hot and humid weather has been linked to aggravated pain in joints and also affect patients with chronic headaches or migraines.


If your noticing increased pain in warmer temperatures, take the next step and schedule an appointment with our physicians. Our patients come to us with a wide range of debilitating pain throughout the seasons. The team of pain doctors are equipped with treatment plans that are designed to relieve you from pain and improve your quality of life! Read on to learn about the link between hot weather and chronic pain.


Chronic pain and heat

Higher levels of pain can be triggered by both heat, changes in barometric pressure and varying levels of humidity. Why is this? Studies have shown that heat and pressure changes in the environment can cause the contraction of muscles, tendons, ligaments and even scar tissue. This often results in increased sensitivity to pain—not exactly the fun summer you were imagining.


Common conditions affected by warm weather

When the seasons change, it takes times for our bodies to adjust. It’s common for patients dealing with chronic pain to struggle to regulate their system with extreme weather changes.


Here are a few conditions that tend to experience increased levels of pain in hot weather:


Arthritis

Headaches

Joint pain

Multiple sclerosis

Other chronic pain conditions


Limit pain and stay cool

Beyond a visit to the doctors there’s a few things you can do to manage your pain this summer. We’ve got some simple tips for not only keeping you cool but also for keeping your pain under control:


Stay hydrated

Wear loose clothing

Apply a cold compress or cold washcloth to painful areas

Avoid long periods in direct sun

Take a swim: this will not only cool you off, but the buoyancy of water can relieve excess pressure on your joints

My doctors at https://www.precisionpointehealth.com/about advised me to stay indoors as much as possible. It is best to avoid spending a lot of time in hot, humid weather. Take regular rests outside during the warmer months to avoid overexertion. Dealing with a chronic pain condition in the summer heat may be physically exhausting. Individuals suffering from chronic pain are frequently vulnerable to temperature and humidity fluctuations.
