Keyword(s): chronic knee pain
Bottom Line:
Your knee is a hinge-joint that primarily moves back and forth (flexion and extension) and allows some twisting or rotation.
Every step you take places stress and strain on your knees, so it’s no surprise that trauma, misalignment, and degenerative changes can all take their toll.
Why it Matters:
Yes, knee pain may not be entirely preventable, but there are steps you can take to keep your knees as healthy as possible.
Did you know… for every pound you are overweight, your knee must absorb an extra 4 pounds of pressure when you walk, run, or climb stairs.
That’s why watching your weight is at the top of the list.
Here are a few additional ways to keep your knees healthy and strong…
Next Steps:
It’s not uncommon for people with back issues to find themselves struggling with knee pain after limping around for a few weeks.
Have you tried running an event and been limited due to knee pain? The Chippewa valley and especially Chippewa Falls and Lake Hallie are blessed with many bike, hike, and running trails such as the Ice Age trail or the Old Abe State Trail. If you find yourself with aches or discomfort especially in the knees or ankles during a walk, run, or bike we can use rehabilitation techniques in conjunction with a chiropractic adjustment to help!
Cases like that are just one of the many reasons we encourage our patients to be proactive with their health.
The joints of your body should be surrounded by muscles that have a balance of strength and flexibility through their full range of motion, allowing you to move well.
We encourage you to use the strategies above to help reduce your chances of knee pain.
And whether you’re already a patient or still thinking about that first visit, be sure to call our practice if you’ve been living with knee pain or restricted motion.
We’re here to help you get out of pain and back to doing what you love, naturally.
