Women often ignore knee and hip pain and push through it, claiming they have a high pain tolerance. Phrases like "knee pain won't stop me," "I can live with the pain," and "it doesn't hurt that badly" are common. However, these dismissive attitudes can lead to worsening conditions, eventually requiring the use of a cane, a walker or even necessitating surgery. Pain is a signal from the nervous system that something might be wrong. How you reduce the pain is a choice.
The Long-Term Ineffectiveness of Medical Treatments
It's important to understand that no diet, cortisone shot, prolotherapy, medication or ointment will correct the misalignment causing your pain. Remember, knee and hip pain over time will cause an imbalance in the kinetic chain. The more you exercise and stay active the more cartilage damage you are causing.
Understanding Your Kinetic Chain
Re-aligning your kinetic chain ensures that all parts of the body are functioning harmoniously, promoting overall balance, stability, and efficient movement patterns. Having been in your shoes, I tried various methods to alleviate my knee pain, from braces and supplements to even consulting a fortune teller.🔮Yes, I took it that far – the pain was unbearable, and nothing worked until I discovered the importance of aligning and maintaining my kinetic chain. For the past ten years, I have been free from knee pain, thanks to this insight. The better aligned your body is, the less pain you will experience.
10,000 Daily Steps with Knee Pain: A Hidden Risk
🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️
Getting your daily steps in is a popular goal, but for those with knee pain, this well-intentioned activity can lead to more harm. Walking with knee pain can alter your gait, placing extra stress on your joints and potentially causing arthritis over time.
If you suffer from knee pain while walking, it could be due to an improper walking pattern. Answering yes to any of the following questions indicates that your gait may be off:
· Does your knee flare up after 30 minutes of walking?
· Do your calves or hamstrings tighten up?
The journey to healthy knees is a marathon, not a sprint. Small, informed steps lead to long-term success and a pain-free, active lifestyle.
