Hello Residents,
Greetings from ProHeal !
Knee is one of the most important joint of your body and one of the most stressed joints in the body. It is considered to be vital joint as this is being used all the time for the movement whether you are walking, running, playing etc.
But surprisingly, knee injuries are very common. Common injuries are sprains and strains and meniscus injuries. We often don’t understand our body and ignore important warning signs. Initial mild pain around knee can be symptoms of muscle weakness or wear and tear of joints. Increase in weight put extra loads on knees and thus you may be prone for developing arthritis.
One of my observation is that people in enthusiasm start doing heavy strenuous exercises which includes running and cycling activities to reduce weight. Sometimes this overuse /overdo activities may lead to a condition known as “runners’ knee” where you feel lot of pain around your knees.
Arthritis is on rise due to life style problems, poor diet and inadequate care of body and joints. Ageing is another important factor which leads to degeneration of the joints . Pain , swelling and inflammation of joints are common symptoms which may substantially impact your quality of life.
We at ProHeal analyse your knee and do thorough assessment to understand the reason of pain. If knee pain is due to sprain or any acute injury associated with pain and swelling of the joint, we suggest you for Rest, Ice massage Compression and Elevation of the affected joint. Rest minimizes further injury to the joint , ice application decreases the inflammation and pain , compression and elevation of the affected joint helps to reduce the swelling and edema.
If it is due to arthritic changes , physical agent modalities can help to minimize the pain. Graded exercise helps you to regain your muscle strength and make you independent in your daily life tasks. .
ProHeal is known for practicing unique approach in managing arthritis and knee healthcare which includes detailed assessment, customized therapy, gradual muscle strengthening program, life style modifications and diet modifications.
Good luck
