10 Winter Accessories That Can Keep You Warm While Also Soothing Pain

For many with chronic pain conditions, heat is an important tool for managing symptoms and soothing aches and pains. But for those who have difficulty regulating their body temperature, struggle with poor circulation or find that cold weather exacerbates their pain, having a constant heat source becomes essential during the winter.

While there are many portable heating products available to take with you when you’re out and about in the cold, sometimes it can be fun to combine practicality with fun and fashion.

That’s why we asked our Mighty community which winter accessories help them stay warm while also relieving pain. These items may look like your everyday winter clothing, but they can all be heated electrically to keep you cozy and comfortable no matter where you are.
