The Effects of Pressure Changes on Our Bodies
Chances are, you may have heard someone complain about feeling the weather change. They may explain the feeling as a body ache or sinus pressure. These sensations may be more prevalent during spring and autumn when the weather patterns shift more frequently.
You may even experience these sensations yourself. While the symptoms do pass, they can impact your day-to-day life. For many, it is an annoyance, but for some, it can cause a major interruption to their routines.
What are Pressure Changes?
Pressure changes, also known as Biometric Pressure, are a natural occurrence that impacts our weather patterns. In turn, this also affects our bodies.
According to The National Weather Service, “Sinking air increases pressure at surface, and ascent decreases pressure at surface. In addition air pressure changes caused by variations of temperature and water vapor content, air pressure can also be influenced by the circulation pattern of air.”
How do Pressure Changes Impact our Bodies?
Pressure changes impact our bodies in several different ways. Individuals who feel the effects of the pressure change may experience;
- Sinus Pressure
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Joint Pain
According to the Cleveland Health Clinic, “Lower barometric pressure also brings weather that tends to be cooler — and that’s not ideal for your joints. Cold can make muscles, ligaments and joints stiffer and more painful.”
How Can Alternative Wellness Help?
For many individuals, finding relief from the pain and aches caused by pressure changes is an absolute must. Since pressure changes can impact each individual differently, it only makes sense that management plans differ. Individuals who experience symptoms such as joint pain may look for management options that offer a more holistic approach.
This is where alternative wellness practices come in. Certain alternative wellness methods have the potential to help ease joint pain. For example, infrared saunas are an increasingly popular way to turn up the heat on joint pain.
Infrared saunas utilize red light to optimize heat therapy. According to information from The College of Family Physicians in Canada, there is evidence to support that using infrared light therapy, also known as FIRS, could help individuals with chronic pain. Their research found, “After 2 years, those in the sauna group were significantly more likely to have returned to work and to have improved sleep scores and trended toward greater improvement in pain behaviour scores and anger scores.”
