Winterize Your Joint Health
NHL Hall-of-Famer Paul Coffey Calls the Shots on Joint Pain this Winter
(NC)—“It’s so cold! I can feel it in my joints,” is a common phrase amongst Canadians. For many, the cold winter months can mean bundling up from head to toe. But for some Canadians with joint pain, this is the time of year when their joints may be aggravated by the cold temperature. For this reason, symptoms such as pain and stiffness may be a barrier that gets in the way of enjoying the activities they love to do in the winter.
NHL Hall-of-Famer and four-time Stanley Cup champion, Paul Coffey, knows this story well. Coffey, now 50, suffers from joint pain, but is not prepared to let the aches or the weather kick him out of the game.
“Now more than ever, I try to follow a routine that includes exercise, rest and a balanced diet to help me manage my pain, so I can have a good quality of life,” said Coffey.
In addition, Coffey takes an assist from Aleve to help him break away from his joint pain, which helps him to live an active lifestyle indoors and outdoors.
“Aleve relieves my pain and helps me get through the day,” said Coffey. “It works for me, especially after coaching youth hockey, or shoveling the driveway; having up to 12 hours of relief comes in handy!”
Aleve and new Aleve Liquid Gels are conveniently available over-the-counter. With just one pill, Aleve has the strength to provide up to 12 hours of relief from joint pain. Canadians should always read and follow the label to see if Aleve is right for them, and speak to their doctor or pharmacist if they have additional questions. Visit www.aleve.ca for more information.
There are plenty of ways to manage pain and protect your joints from the cold. According to The Arthritis Society, maintaining overall health through exercise, diet and proper rest are effective ways to combat the effects of joint pain.
