Caboolture is experiencing seasonal damp, humid weather, which a lot of people associate with a higher incidence of back pain, neck pain as well as pain in other joints of the body, especially knee pain, this type of weather can also be associated for some people with headaches.
Research has shown that damp weather can lead to increased fluid retention which results in increased pain sensation in any part of the body.
Your Chiropractor will adjust your spine to relieve pain, gentle movement such as Tai Chi can help by increasing blood flow and reducing stagnation, acupuncture can be helpful, another tip from Chinese medicine is to drink barley soup (jobs tears) which mildly increases fluid secretion. The ancient Chinese believed it did this by improving the functioning of the Spleen, the organ they associate energetically with removing excess fluid from the body. Things which reduce spleen function according to Traditional Chinese Medicine is eating too much or not enough sweet food and also excessive worry, again Tai Chi or meditation can help here. Interestingly pearl barley has been associated in research with reducing high blood pressure. A word of caution, pearl barley can reduce blood sugar, so perhaps it is not appropriate for people with diabetes.
