Knees and knee pain. Boy, do we work our knees…or at least we should! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries hears about painful knees almost as often as we hear about painful backs and necks!

EXERCISE PROTECTS THE KNEES
If you suffer with Manchester knee pain, moving may seem like it will only aggravate it more. Many doctors like yours at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries and researchers have heard that! That’s fear. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries gets it! Physical activity is good for your knee’s overall health though. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries will work with you to calm your fear and make sure movement is beneficial! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 revealed that persistent sitting was not associated with knee osteoarthritis while 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 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! Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is a fabulous Manchester health partner!
QUADRICEPS HELPS THE KNEES
And talk about good partners, quads are to knees! Strong quadriceps benefit knees. Exercising the quadriceps is smart! A study evaluated 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 develop that muscle so it can persist longer and potentially decrease the muscle loss that normally comes with aging. (2) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries can guide you toward stronger quads!
COORDINATE KNEES AND LIMBS
Ever heard of patellofemoral pain syndrome? It is a name for a most common musculoskeletal disorder of atypical motor coordination of the limbs that stresses the knees unequally, putting them at risk of pain. (3) Knowing this helps your Manchester chiropractor guide treatment and exercise to assist in coordinating motion. One approach toward improvement 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) Do not let the child in you hop away just yet! Talk with your Manchester chiropractor first!
