BACK PAIN DURING SEASONAL CHANGES – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Update date: 06-12-2025

Back pain is a common condition that often worsens during seasonal transitions. Fluctuations in temperature can cause the muscles and ligaments surrounding the spine to tighten, while reduced local blood circulation increases sensitivity and discomfort. These factors make back pain more noticeable, especially in the morning or after prolonged sitting.

Common warning signs

Back pain should not be overlooked, especially in the following cases:

  • Pain persisting for more than two weeks
  • Pain radiating down the leg
  • Numbness or tingling in the lower limbs

Individuals with a history of herniated discs or spinal stenosis are particularly susceptible to worsening symptoms during colder weather.

How to relieve and prevent back pain during season changes

  • Keep your lower back warm by layering clothing
  • Perform gentle stretching or mobility exercises after waking
  • Avoid sitting in one position for extended periods; stand and stretch every hour
  • Maintain regular physical activity such as brisk walking, yoga, pilates, or swimming
  • Control body weight, as abdominal obesity increases strain on the spine

Do not let mild or intermittent back pain become a chronic condition. Early evaluation and proper management can significantly improve long-term spinal health.
