Wind, cold and damp tend to induce joint pain Chinese medicine believes that there is a corresponding relationship between changes in nature and the symptoms of the human body, and right now there is a collection of various factors that induce joint pain and related diseases. ”It’s early spring, and the main Qi of spring is wind, which is the time when wind evil tends to invade the body. And the winter cold has not yet completely receded, the temperature difference between day and night is still large, coupled with the relatively low terrain in the Lingnan area, easy to cause the coalescence of damp evil. So recently there is a situation where wind, cold and dampness are intertwined.” The bones and joints are in charge of movement and support in the human body, and according to Chinese medicine, they are Yang. The three factors of wind, cold and dampness superimposed together are most likely to induce bone and joint pain and disease.

But for the general population, static strain injuries are more common. “Whether we are in a sitting, standing or squatting position, our body is not completely relaxed and there are always muscles maintaining balance. When we maintain a single posture for a long time, it can cause local muscle strain. Many occupations have ‘occupational diseases’ caused by static strain injury, such as typists typing with their heads down, drivers driving with their waists bowed, sales clerks standing in high heels, which will lead to poor blood flow in the neck, waist and legs respectively over time, gradually forming local static strain injury.” Static strain injury generally only manifests itself as localized soreness and restricted activity, which does not have much impact on life, but once it happens to be rainy days the symptoms will worsen. Once the pain is determined to be caused by a strain, it can be treated with a combination of internal and external methods. Most young patients with localized joint strain have symptoms of bruising, which can be treated internally with drugs that move Qi and blood, while in older patients it is important to take into account the whole person and consider whether there is deficiency or other diseases.
