Auburn Knee Pain Relief Tips Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.

Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. hears about painful knees nearly as often as we hear about painful backs and necks! Auburn knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and wonder “What can I do about this knee pain?” Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. has some enlightening new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain in check.

EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES

If you have Auburn knee pain, moving may seem like it will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. and researchers have heard that! That’s fear. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. understands! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. will work with you to calm your fear and ensure movement is beneficial! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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 found that persistent sitting was not related to knee osteoarthritis while low to moderate level of energetic physical activity is protective against knee osteoarthritis. If you sit a great deal, exercise, too. It helps. The authors specifically report 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 larger 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! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is a great Auburn 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 examined younger and older folks performing resistance exercises via machine vs. elastic band. Both succeed! Maximal voluntary contraction of the knee extensors in older folks is greater than that in younger people. Exercise may benefit the older folks build that muscle so it can persist longer and potentially reduce the muscle loss that normally comes with aging. (2) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. can guide you toward stronger quads!

COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS

Ever heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It’s a name for a most common musculoskeletal disorder of unusual motor coordination of the limbs that stresses the knees unevenly, raising their risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Auburn chiropractor guide 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 interact 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 Auburn chiropractor first!
