3 Things You "Think" Will Help Your Knee Pain...That Actually Makes It Worse!

4/17/2019

 
I see a lot of people who suffer from Knee Pain and are looking for advice or tips on what they can do to ease it. 

But today I want to “debunk” a few myths around a few common "quick fixes" that a lot of people try thinking it will help their knee pain....that actually makes it worse!

First I want to share an example of a patient's story...​

She came into the clinic limping with knee pain and asked:  “I’ve had Knee Pain for the past few weeks.  I’m not sure what I did, but it just doesn’t seem to be going away.  I’ve tried taking Ibuprofen, but that didn’t help much.  Resting seems to help, but only while I’m resting.  Every time I stand up and start moving again it hurts.  I went and bought a knee brace to see if that would help, but I can still feel the pain and it gets worse when I take it off.  What else can I do to get rid of this Knee Pain?”

Why Knee Pain Gets Worse When You Exercise...And What You Can Do About It!

4/3/2019

 
I’ve been hearing from a lot of people the past few weeks with complaints of pain that is holding them back from being as active as they’d like to be.  Knee Pain has been the biggest complaint, but Back Pain and Shoulder Pain aren’t far behind.

Regardless there seems to be a common theme here! 

​It's the weather!  ​Not the cold weather, but the Springtime weather that will be heading us into Summer before we know it!

We naturally want to be outside and be more active this time of year and we typically see more people who start to exercise more around this time too.

Whether it’s walking, running, hiking, yard work or prepping your garden…why does Knee Pain get worse when you exercise or are more active?  Isn’t exercise supposed to help you feel better?

Well, yes…and NO!

Let me explain.
