Concord, NC Knee Pain Relief Tips Pure Chiropractic
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Pure Chiropractic hears about painful knees nearly as often as we hear about painful backs and necks! Concord, NC knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and wonder “What can I do about this knee pain?” Pure Chiropractic has some interesting new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain under control.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you suffer with Concord, NC knee pain, it may seem that moving the painful knee will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Pure Chiropractic and researchers have heard that! That’s fear. Pure Chiropractic understands! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Pure Chiropractic will work with you to calm your fear and ensure movement helps! Pure 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 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 helps. The authors specifically state that long-term strenuous activity participation didn’t 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 less likely to do any strenuous activities. (1) If that is you, let’s get past these issues for your knees’ sake! Pure Chiropractic is a fabulous Concord, NC health partner!
QUADRICEPS HELPS THE KNEES
And talk about good partners, quads are to knees! Strong quadriceps benefit knees. Exercising the quadriceps is smart! 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 help the older folks build that muscle so it can last longer and potentially reduce the muscle loss that naturally comes with aging. (2) Pure Chiropractic can lead you to stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Ever heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It is a name for a very common musculoskeletal disorder that finds atypical motor coordination of the limbs that stresses the knees unevenly, putting them at risk of pain. (3) Understanding this helps your Concord, NC chiropractor guide treatment and exercise to assist in coordinating motion. One approach toward improvement is resistance training whose effectiveness can really be noted 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! Chat with your Concord, NC chiropractor first!
