Baton Rouge Knee Pain Relief Tips Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers hears about painful knees almost as much as we hear about painful backs and necks! Baton Rouge knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and wonder “What can I do about this knee pain?” Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers has some enlightening new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain in check.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you have Baton Rouge knee pain, moving may seem like it will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers and researchers have heard that! That is fear. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers understands! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers will be right beside you to calm your fear and be sure movement is beneficial! Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers also will tell you again that a sedentary lifestyle may cause more issues and lead to more joint health problems. A study that followed people for 8 years revealed that persistent sitting was not associated with knee osteoarthritis and low to moderate level of strenuous physical activity is protective against knee osteoarthritis. If you sit a lot, exercise, too. It helps. The authors specifically report that long-term strenuous activity participation did not raise 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 less likely to do any strenuous activities. (1) If that is you, let us together get past these issues for your knees’ sake! Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is a great Baton Rouge 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 succeed! Maximal voluntary contraction of the knee extensors in older folks is higher 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) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers can guide you toward stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Have you heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It’s a name for a very common musculoskeletal disorder that finds atypical motor coordination of the limbs which loads the knees unequally, raising their risk of pain. (3) Understanding this helps your Baton Rouge chiropractor lead 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 demands strong ankles and knees that interact well. Resistance training improves strength and coordination benefiting knees and ankles. (4) Don’t let the child in you hop away just yet! Talk with your Baton Rouge chiropractor first!
