Manahawkin Knee Pain Relief Tips Manahawkin Chiropractic Center

Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center hears about painful knees nearly as often as we hear about painful backs and necks! Manahawkin knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and feel the same: “I don’t want knee pain!” Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 Manahawkin knee pain, it may seem that moving the painful knee will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center and researchers hear that! That is fear. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center gets it! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center will be right beside you to calm your fear and make sure movement is beneficial! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center also reminds you that a sedentary lifestyle may cause more issues and likely end in more joint health problems. A study that tracked people for 8 years revealed that constant sitting was not associated with 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 state that long-term strenuous activity participation didn’t increase the incidence of knee osteoarthritis. That’s 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 us together get past these issues for your knees’ sake! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is a fabulous Manahawkin 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 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 decrease the muscle loss that normally comes with aging. (2) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can guide you toward stronger quads!

COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS

Ever heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It is a term for a most common musculoskeletal disorder that finds atypical motor coordination of the limbs which stresses the knees unequally, putting them at risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Manahawkin chiropractor direct treatment and exercise to assist in coordinating motion. One way toward improvement is resistance training whose effectiveness can particularly be noticed in hopping. Researchers found that hopping requires strong ankles and knees that interact well. Resistance training increases strength and coordination resulting in gait and knee/ankle benefits. (4) Don’t let the child in you hop away just yet! Talk with your Manahawkin chiropractor first!
