Plainville Knee Pain Relief Tips Layden Chiropractic
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Layden Chiropractic hears about painful knees almost as much as we hear about painful backs and necks! Plainville knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and feel the same: “I don’t want knee pain!” Layden Chiropractic has some enlightening new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain under control.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you have Plainville knee pain, it may seem that moving the painful knee will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Layden Chiropractic and researchers have heard that! That’s fear. Layden Chiropractic understands! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Layden Chiropractic will be right beside you to calm your fear and be sure movement is beneficial! Layden Chiropractic also reminds you that a sedentary lifestyle may cause more issues and lead to more joint health troubles. A study that tracked people for 8 years revealed that persistent sitting was not related to knee osteoarthritis while low to moderate level of strenuous 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 did not increase 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 not as likely to do any strenuous activities. (1) If that is you, let us together get past these issues for your knees’ sake! Layden Chiropractic is a fabulous Plainville health partner!
QUADRICEPS HELPS THE KNEES
And talk about good partners, quads are to knees! Knees need strong quadriceps. Exercising the quadriceps is smart! A study evaluated 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 greater than that in younger people. Exercise may help the older folks develop that muscle so it can persist longer and potentially reduce the muscle loss that naturally comes with aging. (2) Layden Chiropractic can guide you toward stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Have you heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It is a name for a very common musculoskeletal disorder of atypical motor coordination of the limbs which loads the knees unequally, putting them at risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Plainville chiropractor guide treatment and exercise to help coordinate motion. One way toward improvement is resistance training whose effectiveness can really be noticed in hopping. Researchers found that hopping requires strong ankles and knees that work together well. Resistance training improves strength and coordination benefiting knees and ankles. (4) Do not let the child in you hop away just yet! Check with your Plainville chiropractor first!
