Groton Knee Pain Relief Tips Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office hears about painful knees nearly as often as we hear about painful backs and necks! Groton knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and feel the same: “I don’t want knee pain!” Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office has some interesting new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain under control.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you have Groton knee pain, it may seem that moving the painful knee will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office and researchers hear that! That is fear. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office understands! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office will be right beside you to calm your fear and ensure movement is beneficial! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office also reminds you that a sedentary lifestyle may cause more issues and likely end in more joint health problems. A study that followed people for 8 years revealed that constant sitting was not related to knee osteoarthritis and low to moderate level of strenuous physical activity is protective against knee osteoarthritis. If you sit a great deal, exercise, too. It is beneficial. The authors specifically report that long-term strenuous activity participation did not raise the incidence of knee osteoarthritis. That’s good news! They write 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’s you, let us together get past these issues for your knees’ sake! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is a fabulous Groton 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 evaluated 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 strengthen that muscle so it can last longer and potentially decrease the muscle loss that naturally comes with aging. (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office can guide you toward stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Ever heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It’s a term for a most common musculoskeletal disorder of unusual motor coordination of the limbs which stresses the knees unequally, putting them at risk of pain. (3) Understanding this helps your Groton chiropractor guide 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 requires strong ankles and knees that interact well. Resistance training improves strength and coordination giving rise to gait and knee/ankle benefits. (4) Don’t let the child in you hop away just yet! Check with your Groton chiropractor first!
