Sitka Knee Pain Relief Tips Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka hears about painful knees almost as much as we hear about painful backs and necks! Sitka knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and feel the same: “I don’t want knee pain!” Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka has some interesting new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain under control.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you have Sitka knee pain, it may seem that moving the painful knee will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka and researchers have heard that! That is fear. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka gets it! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka will be right beside you to calm your fear and ensure movement is beneficial! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka also will tell you again that a sedentary lifestyle may cause more issues and lead to more joint health problems. A study that tracked people for 8 years found that constant sitting was not associated with knee osteoarthritis and low to moderate level of energetic 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 is good news! They write cautiously that people who were older, have a greater BMI, more severe pain, weaker quadriceps and depression were less likely to do any strenuous activities. (1) If that is you, let’s get past these issues for your knees’ sake! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is a fabulous Sitka 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 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 persist longer and potentially decrease the muscle loss that normally comes with aging. (2) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka 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 of unusual motor coordination of the limbs which stresses the knees unequally, raising their risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Sitka chiropractor direct treatment and exercise to assist in coordinating motion. One way to improving motion is resistance training whose effectiveness can particularly be noticed in hopping. Researchers found that hopping requires 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 hop away just yet! Chat with your Sitka chiropractor first!
