How to Prevent Knee Pain?

Knee pain has a host of causes. Many types of pain are difficult to prevent, but you can do some general things to reduce the likelihood of sustaining a knee injury.

1. Stay slim
  • Staying slim reduces the forces placed on the knee during both athletics and everyday walking and, according to some medical research, may reduce osteoarthritis.
  • Keeping your weight down may also reduce the number of ligament and tendon injuries for similar reasons.
2. Keep limber, keep fit

  • Many knee problems are due to tight or imbalanced musculature. Stretching and strengthening, therefore, also help to prevent knee pain.
  • Stretching keeps your knee from being too tight and aids in preventing both patellofemoral syndrome and iliotibial band syndrome.
  • Strengthening exercises particularly of the quadriceps (straight leg raises and leg extensions are two excellent exercises, but please see a book on exercise and training for more) can help prevent knee injury.

3. Exercise wisely

  • If you have chronic knee pain, consider swimming or water exercises.
  • In water, the force of buoyancy supports some of our weight so our knees do not have to.
  • If you don't have access to a pool or do not enjoy water activities, at least try to limit hard pounding and twisting activities such as basketball, tennis, or jogging.
  • You may find that your aching knees will act up if you play basketball or tennis every day but will not if you limit your pounding sports to twice a week.
  • Whatever you do, respect and listen to your body. If it hurts, change what you are doing.
  • If you are fatigued, consider stopping; many injuries occur when people are tired.
4. Protect the knee

  • Wearing proper protection for the activity at hand can help avoid knee injuries.
  • When playing volleyball or when laying carpet, protecting your knees may include knee pads.
  • When driving, knee protection may include wearing a seat belt to avoid the knee-versus-dashboard injuries as well as injuries to other parts of your body.

Benefits of robotic knee replacement

Image
Knee replacement surgeries, methodology, techniques and technology have developed by leaps and bound in the last few decades. Total knee surgery has gone through so many transformations and has positively benefited the patients. The cost factor, the technology, quality of implants, minimally invasive techniques and reduced rehabilitation periods have all given the patients who were afraid of knee replacement going wrong. The pain, the rehabilitation time and the uncertainty attached to the total knee replacement were all detrimental to the thinking of persons troubled by knee pain. The latest in knee surgery has been Robotics Assisted surgery which helps in precisely shaping the surrounding bone before placing the knee implants and navigating precisely to the remotest area of the knee. A 3D model of the patient's knee can be generated to help in mapping the exact incisions and angles. Let us look into some major advantages a robotic surgery would have in comparison to a convention...

Types of Arthritis Pain in Knee

There are two main types of arthritis in the knee: Osteoarthritis: where there is degeneration of the bones Rheumatoid Arthritis: where there is inflammation in the joint 1. Osteoarthritis Of The Knee This is commonly known as “wear and tear” arthritis. Osteoarthritis is by far the most common cause of arthritis pain in knees affecting approximately 16 million people. Usually osteoarthritis of the knee is related to, but not caused by aging, most commonly affecting people over the age of 65. Other common terms used are "degenerative arthritis knee" or "arthrosis". In a normal, healthy knee joint, there is a reasonable sized gap between the bones (tibia and femur) due to a thick layer of cartilage and lubricating fluid.  The surface of the bones is nice and smooth and as the knee bends and straightens, the joint moves easily and painlessly due to the cushioning from the cartilage.  With osteoarthritis of the knee, a few things happen. ...

Shoulder Joint Replacement

Although shoulder joint replacement is less common than knee or hip replacement, it is just as successful in relieving joint pain. Shoulder replacement surgery was first performed in the United States in the 1950s to treat severe shoulder fractures. Over the years, shoulder joint replacement has come to be used for many other painful conditions of the shoulder, such as different forms of arthritis. Today, about 53,000 people in the U.S. have shoulder replacement surgery each year, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. This compares to more than 900,000 Americans a year who have knee and hip replacement surgery. If nonsurgical treatments like medications and activity changes are no longer helpful for relieving pain, you may want to consider shoulder joint replacement surgery . Joint replacement surgery is a safe and effective procedure to relieve pain and help you resume everyday activities. Whether you have just begun exploring treatment opti...
