In cold weather, you might experience increased body and muscle pain. This is very common for rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis sufferers. Chilly weather also increases local pain, such as heel pain, knee pain, and shoulder and neck pain. Etc.
This article will cover some common but highly effective health devices that can help cope with these types of pain. I have tried all these, and I have also shared links to review videos on the same. I hope you find it helpful.
Infrared Lamp for Muscle Spasms
The infrared lamp is one of my favourite health devices and is very useful for muscle and joint pain. I often prescribe this lamp to my patients in my clinic suffering from muscle spasms or any joint pain. During cold weather, it is common to experience muscle spasms or stiffness. To help alleviate these issues, we highly recommend using an infrared lamp.
It is a lamp that emits red light. The soothing heat emitted by the red light of this device can effectively relax stiff and spasmodic muscles, providing quick relief from pain and discomfort. One of the best things about the infrared lamp is its portability; you just need to plug in and use it.
Suppose you want to learn more about infrared lamps, their indications, contraindications, and how to use them safely. In that case, you can check out my detailed article on the subject: What’s Infrared in Physiotherapy? How to Use, Indications
Not only the neck, but you can also use it for the shoulders, lower back, knees, or other affected areas. Overall, the infrared lamp is a must-have health device for anyone looking for a safe and effective way to alleviate muscle pain and stiffness during cold weather.
Graphene Knee Cap for Warm Compression and Massage
Our next health device is an amazing product. A knee cap can give both warm compression and massage simultaneously. During winter, the pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis in the knee often increases due to cold weather. Therefore, providing warm compression is crucial to manage such pain. Massaging the muscles around the knee also helps in relaxing them.
That’s where the graphene kneecap comes in. While it’s designed specifically for knees, it can also be used on smaller joints like elbows and ankles.
This kneecap is a South Korean product that’s been gaining popularity due to its effectiveness in providing relief. Those interested in learning more about it can watch a detailed review video provided in the product description. With the graphene knee cap, you can finally say goodbye to knee pain and return to doing what you love.
In addition to this, I also recommend going for knee pain exercises, which are also very effective.
I have made a detailed review video on this. You can watch this and make an informed decision as to whether you need to buy this product or not. You can watch this video here: Instantly Relieve Knee Pain at Home! Try Knee Warm Massager Brace!
Jade Stone Heating Mat for Improved Blood Circulation
In the winter season, you may have noticed that your entire body, not just your joints, experiences pain. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis are particularly susceptible to body pain during this time. I have previously discussed the benefits of effective body pain stretching exercises.
In addition to exercises, one of the effective ways is to use a heating mat equipped with jade stone. This special stone has been designed to enhance blood circulation, which helps relieve tension and stiffness in the body.
While the initial cost of the heating mat may seem a bit high, it is well worth the investment when you consider its long-term benefits. With regular use, the heating mat with jade stone can gradually help diminish stiffness throughout your entire body.
Not only will this leave you feeling more relaxed and comfortable, but it can also help boost your energy levels and make you feel more rejuvenated overall. So, if you are looking for a natural and effective solution to alleviate stiffness and tension in your body, try a heating mat with jade stone!

Vibrating Heating Mat for Affordability
Our next product is an Agaro vibrating heating mat, an alternative to the jade Stone mat discussed earlier. It is a budget-friendly option but very effective in controlling body pain. This mat has a feature that provides a vibrating massage and a heating effect to release body stiffness.
If you are looking for a more budget-friendly option, then you might want to consider the vibrating heating mat, which Agaro Company also manufactures. This mat combines the benefits of massage and heat therapy but with a stronger focus on the heating effect.
While it may not be as effective for massage as the jade stone mat, it provides a cost-effective solution for those unable to invest in the more expensive option. The vibrating heating mat can be a great tool for promoting relaxation, reducing muscle tension, and easing pain conveniently and affordably.

Silicone Heel Socks for Plantar Fasciitis
One of the most troubling pains during winter is heel pain. People suffering from plantar fasciitis often find their pain worsens during cold weather. Exercise is important for healing heel pain; you can read more about heel pain exercises here. In addition to this, a few precautions can significantly alleviate the pain.
There are various ways to combat this problem; one is to protect the feet and soles from the cold. During the colder months, wearing slippers at home and using silicone heel socks made of soft material can provide relief and significantly alleviate pain and discomfort. These silicone heel socks offer a cushioning effect that reduces the stress on the heel area, and they also keep the feet warm, which can help to improve blood circulation, reducing inflammation and soreness.
By taking these simple steps, individuals can effectively manage their heel pain and improve their quality of life.
Shiatsu Neck Massager for Neck Stiffness
Our final product is a neck massager. This neck massager comes with rollers that simulate the effect of a hand massage. It provides a massage that feels like someone is massaging your neck and back.
If you’ve been experiencing neck stiffness during the colder months, you might want to consider investing in a Shiatsu neck massager from Agaro Company. This device is designed to mimic the experience of a manual neck massage, providing a comforting and relaxing experience in the comfort of your own home.
The massager features rollers that rotate to massage the neck, kneading away any tension and stiffness you may be experiencing. It’s a great way to unwind after a long day or even as a preventative measure to avoid neck pain altogether. With the Agaro Shiatsu neck massager, you can enjoy the benefits of a personal massage session anytime, without leaving the house.
