Winter-Related Joint and Bone Pain Linked to Vitamin D Deficiency and Cold Weather Effects

During winter, many individuals experience increased joint, muscle, and bone pain due to factors such as cold-induced muscle tightening, reduced blood circulation, and lower physical activity. Vitamin D deficiency, common in India despite abundant sunlight, worsens bone strength and muscle function in colder months. Additionally, slippery conditions and restricted movement raise the risk of new injuries, while old injuries may flare up. Experts emphasize timely evaluation, adequate nutrition, and emerging treatments like bone banks to manage these seasonal challenges.
