San Jose Knee Pain Relief Tips Chiropractic Solutions
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Chiropractic Solutions hears about painful knees nearly as much as we hear about painful backs and necks! San Jose knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and wonder “What can I do about this knee pain?” Chiropractic Solutions has some enlightening new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain under control.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you have San Jose knee pain, it may seem that moving the painful knee will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Chiropractic Solutions and researchers hear that! That’s fear. Chiropractic Solutions gets it! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Chiropractic Solutions will work with you to calm your fear and be sure movement helps! Chiropractic Solutions 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 persistent 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 great deal, exercise, too. It is beneficial. The authors specifically state that long-term strenuous activity participation did not raise the incidence of knee osteoarthritis. That is 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! Chiropractic Solutions is a great San Jose 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 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 strengthen that muscle so it can persist longer and potentially reduce the muscle loss that naturally comes with aging. (2) Chiropractic Solutions can guide you toward stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Have you heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It is a term for a very common musculoskeletal disorder of atypical motor coordination of the limbs that loads the knees unequally, raising their risk of pain. (3) Understanding this helps your San Jose chiropractor direct treatment and exercise to help coordinate motion. One approach toward improvement is resistance training whose effectiveness can particularly be noticed in hopping. Researchers found that hopping demands strong ankles and knees that work together well. Resistance training improves strength and coordination resulting in gait and knee/ankle benefits. (4) Do not let the child in you start hopping just yet! Check with your San Jose chiropractor first!
