🏋️‍♂️💪 Exciting News for Knee Health! 💪🏋️‍♀️

A recent study published on MedPage Today (October 23, 2023) reveals how incorporating weight lifting and strength training into your routine can significantly reduce the risk of knee pain and osteoarthritis (OA) as you age. 🦵🦴

According to the study led by Grace Lo, MD, MSc, of Baylor College of Medicine, engaging in strength training was associated with a remarkable 20% lower risk of knee pain, symptomatic knee arthritis, and detectible joint damage on x-rays. 📊

What's fascinating is that previous studies, focusing on elite athletes, had raised concerns about the potential risk of knee OA. However, this new research indicates that everyday strength training activities with moderate weights can actually help prevent OA. 💡

Individuals who started strength training after the age of 50 also enjoyed significant protective benefits, suggesting that it's never too late to start. 🕰️

These findings highlight the importance of incorporating strength training into your lifestyle, not only for knee health but for overall well-being. 💯

As your trusted chiropractic experts, we encourage you to consider including strength training in your fitness routine. It's a proactive step to reduce the risk of osteoarthritis and other chronic conditions. Let's work together to keep you healthy and pain-free! 🌈

Another Benefit of Walking:

In addition to a reduced risk for heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and some cancers, a study that included 1,212 middle-aged and older adults found that walking can also reduce the risk of knee pain in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Arthritis & Rheumatology, June 2022.

Some patients are surprised to learn there is a correlation between spinal health and knee pain. A recent study tested improvements to pain and knee function in patients over a 6 week trial of either spinal manipulation of the back, hip and pelvis vs a specific supervised exercise program of the knee muscles. Manipulation ended up being superior in each category. Why?

There are a number of possible reason including the need for joint systems to adapt when neighboring joints are too stiff, to the fact that the nerve supply to the muscles of the knee originate in the low back, to the recent studies that show spinal manipulation down regulates pain and increases balance and coordination at the level of the brain.

The four compartments of the knee (anterior/front, medial/inside, posterior/back, and lateral/outside) are like dominos. Meaning, when one is injured, the others “start to fall.” This is due to compensatory changes in function—when one compartment is problematic, this places added strain or
