Fernandina Beach Knee Pain Relief Tips Amelia Chiropractic Clinic
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic hears about painful knees almost as often as we hear about painful backs and necks! Fernandina Beach knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and wonder “What can I do about this knee pain?” Amelia Chiropractic Clinic has some enlightening new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain in check.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you have Fernandina Beach knee pain, moving may seem like it will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic and researchers have heard that! That is fear. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic gets it! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic will be right beside you to calm your fear and be sure movement helps! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic 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 persistent sitting was not associated with knee osteoarthritis and 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 didn’t increase the incidence of knee osteoarthritis. That’s good news! They report cautiously that people who were older, have a higher 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! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is a fabulous Fernandina Beach 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 develop that muscle so it can persist longer and potentially decrease the muscle loss that naturally comes with aging. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic can lead you to stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Have you heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It is a name for a most common musculoskeletal disorder of unusual motor coordination of the limbs which loads the knees unevenly, raising their risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Fernandina Beach chiropractor direct treatment and exercise to help coordinate motion. One approach to improving motion is resistance training whose effectiveness can really be noted 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! Chat with your Fernandina Beach chiropractor first!
