Largo Knee Pain Relief Tips Hollstrom & Associates Inc
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Hollstrom & Associates Inc hears about painful knees almost as much as we hear about painful backs and necks! Largo knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and feel the same: “I do not want knee pain!” Hollstrom & Associates Inc 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 Largo knee pain, moving may seem like it will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Hollstrom & Associates Inc and researchers have heard that! That is fear. Hollstrom & Associates Inc gets it! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Hollstrom & Associates Inc will work with you to calm your fear and be sure movement helps! Hollstrom & Associates Inc also will tell you again that a sedentary lifestyle may cause more issues and likely end in more joint health troubles. A study that tracked people for 8 years revealed that persistent 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 great deal, exercise, too. It helps. 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 less likely to do any strenuous activities. (1) If that’s you, let’s get past these issues for your knees’ sake! Hollstrom & Associates Inc is a great Largo 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 work! Maximal voluntary contraction of the knee extensors in older folks is higher than that in younger people. Exercise may benefit the older folks build that muscle so it can last longer and potentially reduce the muscle loss that normally comes with aging. (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc can guide you toward stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Have you heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It is a term for a most common musculoskeletal disorder of atypical motor coordination of the limbs that loads the knees unequally, putting them at risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Largo chiropractor lead treatment and exercise to assist in coordinating motion. One approach to improving motion is resistance training whose effectiveness can really be noticed in hopping. Researchers found that hopping demands 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 start hopping just yet! Check with your Largo chiropractor first!
