When Knees Start to Hurt, Let Chiropractic Help

By Sandy Schroeder

Most of us try to ignore pain when it starts, but that's hard to do with sore knees. As we move through the day, knee pain tags along and slows us way down. Soon you find yourself finding ways to sit more and move less. If this sounds too familiar, you may need chiropractic support to get a grip on the problem.

See Your Chiropractor

The Joint Chiropractic clinic in your community staffs a wellness center with licensed chiropractors who are equipped to help.

Bring your issues in and let your chiropractor assess your knee pain and help you find the right answers. Evaluating your knee pain will be the first step to know where you stand to begin treatment and daily activity.

Healthy spines often improve overall health. The spine keeps us mobile and the central nervous system encased inside supplies the essential brain-to-body communication. Your chiropractor will explain how a healthy spine will help you deal with knee pain to get back on track.

Gentle targeted spinal adjustments may relieve pain to get you moving again, and weekly 15-minute spinal adjustments may help you regain your health.

Fitness Starts Here

Your chiropractor can be your fitness coach to keep you moving. Exercise may seem like a challenge with knee, ankle, hip or shoulder pain, but gradual gentle exercises can supply the best answers. Here are some tips from Harvard Health to make it work.

Exercise daily - To really ease knee pain, make sure you have a comfortable spot in your schedule to exercise every day. Start with 10-minute walks or a 15-minute workout before breakfast. Follow up with another short walk or workout in the evening. Daily movement will make a big difference.

Add activity everywhere - As you start to exercise more, extend the support with more movement throughout the day. Stand and do simple squats or lunges while you are on the phone. Plan short biking or hiking outings on the weekend. Stay active in the evenings on the treadmill or a stationary bike.

Consider a standing desk - Your body will respond to the transitions from sitting to standing, instead of being glued to your seat all day. Also consider small pedal devices that fit under the desk. If you move more you may not feel like you sat all day.

Stay active at home - Instead of collapsing on the couch, use weekend and evening times to do small tasks at home. Garden, trim bushes, or clean out a few cabinets. One task will inspire another, and keep you moving.

Bring your knee issues to The Joint Chiropractic clinic near you and find the best answers. Clinics are open weekends and evenings. No appointments are needed, and affordable personal healthcare plans eliminate the hassle of insurance.
