Dr. Ryan Roubion recently joined FOX 8 WVUE to share expert tips on protecting your joints during the chilly, activity-packed holiday season. From managing arthritis pain to staying active, here’s how to keep moving and enjoy the festivities:
Why the Holidays Can Be Hard on Joints
Cooler weather and the hustle of holiday preparations often worsen arthritis pain. Increased stress can also heighten inflammation, making joint discomfort more noticeable.
Move Smarter, Not Harder
Try low-impact exercises like yoga, pilates, or swimming to help boost flexibility and strength without straining your joints.
Prioritize Stress Relief
Holiday stress affects more than your mood—it might also inflame your joints. Set aside time for deep breathing, gentle stretching, or mindfulness to keep stress levels in check.
Explore Advanced Treatments
Dr. Roubion highlighted cutting-edge options, including joint injections, physical therapy, and regenerative medicine, offering relief and better mobility.
Fuel Your Joints
Add omega-3s, colorful fruits and veggies, and whole grains to your plate to fight inflammation. Don’t forget to stay hydrated to keep joints lubricated.
Celebrate Pain-Free
Pace yourself during activities, listen to your body, and rest when needed. Comfortable footwear and mindful movement can make a world of difference.
