Toronto Knee Pain Relief Tips Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre
Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre hears about painful knees almost as much as we hear about painful backs and necks! Toronto knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and feel the same: “I do not want knee pain!” Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre has some interesting new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain under control.
EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you suffer with Toronto knee pain, it may seem that moving the painful knee will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre and researchers hear that! That is fear. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre understands! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre will work with you to calm your fear and make sure movement is beneficial! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre also will tell you again that a sedentary lifestyle may cause more issues and lead to more joint health troubles. A study that tracked people for 8 years revealed that persistent sitting was not associated with knee osteoarthritis and low to moderate level of energetic physical activity is protective against knee osteoarthritis. If you sit a lot, exercise, too. It helps. The authors specifically state that long-term strenuous activity participation didn’t raise 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 less likely to do any strenuous activities. (1) If that is you, let’s get past these issues for your knees’ sake! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is a great Toronto 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 compared 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 help the older folks strengthen that muscle so it can last longer and potentially reduce the muscle loss that naturally comes with aging. (2) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre can guide you toward stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Have you heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It’s a term for a very common musculoskeletal disorder of atypical motor coordination of the limbs that loads the knees unevenly, putting them at risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Toronto chiropractor direct 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 work together well. Resistance training improves strength and coordination benefiting knees and ankles. (4) Don’t let the child in you start hopping just yet! Check with your Toronto chiropractor first!
