Montreal Knee Pain Relief Tips Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic

Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic hears about painful knees almost as often as we hear about painful backs and necks! Montreal knee pain sufferers know the symptoms and feel the same: “I don’t want knee pain!” Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic has some enlightening new research on exercise, chiropractic care, and nutrition to keep knee pain in check.

EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES

If you suffer with Montreal knee pain, moving may seem like it will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic and researchers have heard that! That is fear. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic understands! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic will be right beside you to calm your fear and be sure movement helps! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic also will tell you again 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 associated with knee osteoarthritis while low to moderate level of active physical activity is protective against knee osteoarthritis. If you sit a lot, exercise, too. It is beneficial. The authors specifically report that long-term strenuous activity participation didn’t raise the incidence of knee osteoarthritis. That is 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! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is a fabulous Montreal 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 doing resistance exercises via machine vs. elastic band. Both work! 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 last longer and potentially reduce the muscle loss that naturally comes with aging. (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic can guide you toward stronger quads!

COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS

Ever heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It’s a term for a very common musculoskeletal disorder that finds unusual motor coordination of the limbs which stresses the knees unequally, putting them at risk of pain. (3) Understanding this helps your Montreal chiropractor lead treatment and exercise to help coordinate motion. One approach to improving motion is resistance training whose effectiveness can particularly be noted in hopping. Researchers found that hopping demands strong ankles and knees that work together well. Resistance training improves strength and coordination benefiting knees and ankles. (4) Do not let the child in you hop away just yet! Check with your Montreal chiropractor first!
