Oxford Knee Pain Relief Tips Satterwhite Chiropractic
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Satterwhite Chiropractic hears about painful knees almost as often as we hear about painful backs and necks! Oxford knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and wonder “What can I do about this knee pain?” Satterwhite Chiropractic has some interesting new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain in check.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you suffer with Oxford knee pain, it may seem that moving the painful knee will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Satterwhite Chiropractic and researchers hear that! That’s fear. Satterwhite Chiropractic gets it! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Satterwhite Chiropractic will be right beside you to calm your fear and be sure movement is beneficial! Satterwhite Chiropractic also will tell you again that a sedentary lifestyle may cause more issues and lead to more joint health troubles. A study that followed people for 8 years revealed 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 lot, exercise, too. It is beneficial. The authors specifically state that long-term strenuous activity participation did not increase the incidence of knee osteoarthritis. That’s 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’s you, let’s get past these issues for your knees’ sake! Satterwhite Chiropractic is a great Oxford health partner!
QUADRICEPS HELPS THE KNEES
And talk about good partners, quads are to knees! Knees need strong quadriceps. Exercising the quadriceps is wise! A study examined younger and older folks performing resistance exercises via machine vs. elastic band. Both work! Maximal voluntary contraction of the knee extensors in older folks is higher than that in younger people. Exercise may benefit the older folks develop that muscle so it can last longer and potentially reduce the muscle loss that naturally comes with aging. (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic can lead you to stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Ever heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It’s a name for a most common musculoskeletal disorder that finds atypical motor coordination of the limbs that stresses the knees unequally, putting them at risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Oxford chiropractor direct treatment and exercise to assist in coordinating motion. One approach to improving motion 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 giving rise to gait and knee/ankle benefits. (4) Do not let the child in you start hopping just yet! Talk with your Oxford chiropractor first!
