Arthritis and cold weather: warmth for everyday comfort
Cold weather can make joints feel stiffer or less comfortable for some people. Heated clothing may provide gentle warmth for everyday comfort, but it is not a medical treatment.
Important medical note
Heated clothing does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent arthritis, arthrosis or any other medical condition. If you have a medical condition, reduced sensation or circulation concerns, speak with a healthcare professional before using heated products for long periods.
Practical comfort tips
- Use gentle heat rather than excessive heat.
- Start on a low setting.
- Do not use heat on swollen, irritated or injured skin.
- Take breaks from heat during long use.
Useful heated layers
A heated bodywarmer can support core comfort, while heated gloves may help with cold-sensitive hands. Use both according to the product instructions.
