Minster Knee Pain Relief Tips Minster Chiropractic Center
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Minster Chiropractic Center hears about painful knees nearly as often as we hear about painful backs and necks! Minster knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and wonder “What can I do about this knee pain?” Minster Chiropractic Center has some enlightening new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain in check.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you have Minster knee pain, it may seem that moving the painful knee will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Minster Chiropractic Center and researchers have heard that! That is fear. Minster Chiropractic Center gets it! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Minster Chiropractic Center will be right beside you to calm your fear and make sure movement helps! Minster Chiropractic Center also will tell you again that a sedentary lifestyle may cause more issues and lead to more joint health troubles. A study that tracked people for 8 years found that constant sitting was not related to knee osteoarthritis while low to moderate level of active physical activity is protective against knee osteoarthritis. If you sit a lot, exercise, too. It is beneficial. The authors specifically report that long-term strenuous activity participation didn’t increase the incidence of knee osteoarthritis. That is good news! They report cautiously that people who were older, have a larger BMI, more severe pain, weaker quadriceps and depression were not as likely to do any strenuous activities. (1) If that is you, let’s get past these issues for your knees’ sake! Minster Chiropractic Center is a fabulous Minster health partner!
QUADRICEPS HELPS THE KNEES
And talk about good partners, quads are to knees! Knees need strong quadriceps. Exercising the quadriceps is wise! A study examined younger and older folks performing resistance exercises via machine vs. elastic band. Both succeed! Maximal voluntary contraction of the knee extensors in older folks is higher than that in younger people. Exercise may benefit the older folks develop that muscle so it can persist longer and potentially decrease the muscle loss that naturally comes with aging. (2) Minster Chiropractic Center can guide you toward stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Have you heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It’s a name for a most common musculoskeletal disorder that finds unusual motor coordination of the limbs that stresses the knees unevenly, raising their risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Minster chiropractor direct treatment and exercise to help coordinate motion. One approach toward improvement is resistance training whose effectiveness can really be noticed in hopping. Researchers found that hopping demands strong ankles and knees that work together well. Resistance training increases strength and coordination benefiting knees and ankles. (4) Do not let the child in you hop away just yet! Check with your Minster chiropractor first!
