Juneau Knee Pain Relief Tips Aurora Chiropractic Center
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Aurora Chiropractic Center hears about painful knees almost as much as we hear about painful backs and necks! Juneau knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and feel the same: “I do not want knee pain!” Aurora Chiropractic Center has some interesting new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain in check.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you suffer with Juneau knee pain, it may seem that moving the painful knee will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Aurora Chiropractic Center and researchers hear that! That is fear. Aurora Chiropractic Center understands! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Aurora Chiropractic Center will work with you to calm your fear and be sure movement helps! Aurora Chiropractic Center also will tell you again that a sedentary lifestyle may cause more issues and lead to more joint health problems. A study that followed people for 8 years found that persistent sitting was not associated with knee osteoarthritis while low to moderate level of strenuous physical activity is protective against knee osteoarthritis. If you sit a great deal, exercise, too. It helps. The authors specifically report that long-term strenuous activity participation didn’t increase the incidence of knee osteoarthritis. That’s good news! They report cautiously that people who were older, have a greater 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! Aurora Chiropractic Center is a fabulous Juneau health partner!
QUADRICEPS HELPS THE KNEES
And talk about good partners, quads are to knees! Strong quadriceps benefit knees. Exercising the quadriceps is wise! A study examined younger and older folks doing resistance exercises via machine vs. elastic band. Both work! Maximal voluntary contraction of the knee extensors in older folks is greater than that in younger people. Exercise may benefit the older folks build that muscle so it can persist longer and potentially decrease the muscle loss that normally comes with aging. (2) Aurora Chiropractic Center can guide you toward stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Ever heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It’s a name for a most common musculoskeletal disorder that finds atypical motor coordination of the limbs which stresses the knees unevenly, putting them at risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Juneau chiropractor direct treatment and exercise to help coordinate motion. One way to improving motion is resistance training whose effectiveness can really be noted in hopping. Researchers found that hopping demands strong ankles and knees that interact well. Resistance training increases strength and coordination benefiting knees and ankles. (4) Don’t let the child in you start hopping just yet! Check with your Juneau chiropractor first!
