Four Things to Help Relieve Runner’s Knee Pain

Stretch your hamstrings and calves every day. The best way to do this is to sit on a hard surface with your legs straight out in front of you and bend forward from your waist and try to touch your toes.  Hold for 45 seconds to a minute.  Repeat 5 times.

Roll out your Iliotibial band with a foam roller. The iliotibial band is a band of fascia that extends from the outside of the pelvis to below the knee joint.   You can purchase a foam roller from any sporting good facility.  The foam roller in the picture below is the more advanced version because it has ‘bumps’ on it.  I would recommend just starting with a smooth foam roller.  ‘Rolling out’ the IT band is painful because you’re essentially helping alleviate adhesions that have developed in the fascia.  This stretching routine is not for individuals that cannot tolerate pain well.  But afterwards you will certainly feel the difference.

Do side squats with a resistance band. Strengthening the hips will reduce knee pain and prevent future knee problems.

-Tie a resistance band around your ankles.  Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and squat.  Side step with your right leg as far as you comfortably can.  Bring left leg back to starting position. Do 12 steps to the right and then reverse.

Get Cold Laser Therapy Treatments. Find a doctor who only treats knee pain and specializes in Cold laser therapy. Cold laser therapy helps reduce inflammation, and will get rid of the sharp pain around the patella by healing the irritated ligament/tendon/muscle causing the pain.

Pain Relief Exercises for Relieving Knee Pain | Dallas-Fort Worth

Dr.Schnee,D.C.,Dallas Cold Laser Knee Doctor, shares some knee exercises that can be done to help relieve knee pain for runner’s knee Dallas-Fort Worth.

Knee Injury Doesn’t Stop Skier from Winning A Race, But It Should Stop You!

Lindsey Vonn, the US women’s ski champion, won the World Cup Super G Race in Cortina d’ Ampezzo, Italy on Sunday.  This is her 6^th victory of the season. Vonn injured her left knee when she tried to keep herself from crashing while she was skiing downhill on Saturday.  She told reporters that her knee was badly swollen and it hurt, but the injury obviously didn’t stop her from winning the race on Sunday.

Obviously, Vonn is a professional athlete, so immediately after her knee injury she began to have therapy on her knee.  Moreover, she took a handful of pain-relievers right before the race so that she could get through it.

For those of you who are not professional athletes, and do not rely on participating in a sport for a paycheck it’s NEVER advised to continue exercising or doing any type of activity that causes knee pain immediately after a knee injury.  Exercising with an injured knee in the acute phase only prolongs the healing process and worsens the injury.

About 1.3 million people every year in the U.S are seen in the emergency rooms for acute knee injuries.  If you happen to be one of these people then give your knee a chance to heal…that is if you want your knee to return back to normal.

Immediately after a knee injury follow the RICE principle:

1. Rest
2. Ice- Use an ice pack for 20 minutes every 2 hours.
3. Compression- Apply pressure over the area.
4. Elevate- Elevate your leg.

Other options:

• Cold laser therapy can help accelerate the healing process of injured tissue.  By using specific wavelengths of light to ‘jumpstart’ the healing process damaged tissue can repair itself, swelling and knee pain can be eliminated; therefore, function can be restored. There are no side effects to getting cold laser treatments.  The treatments are performed by a qualified cold laser doctor.
• A Cortisone Injection may help reduce swelling, inflammation and reduce pain.  Cortisone is helpful if you have acute knee pain and want immediate relief.  However, cortisone doesn’t FIX the damaged tissue it just puts a ‘band aid’ on the problem.  Since cortisone is a steroid there is a limit of three injections each year. Injections are performed by your doctor.
• Over the counter or prescription pain medication to temporarily help relieve knee pain and swelling.  However, this is only a short term solution to help relieve knee pain.

Exercises Prevent Knee Injuries and Reduce Soldier Drop Out Rate in UK

Soldiers are expected to endure a strict exercise regime over the course of their training.  In the UK over 25% of British soldiers drop out of the army because of severe knee pain.  As a result, a new stretching and exercise routine was studied to discover whether it would lower the risk of knee injuries therefore reduce the dropout rate.  The study which was conducted over a 3.5 month period, with 1,500 soldiers found that certain exercises which included stretches and strengthening exercises for the major leg muscles reduced knee injuries by 75%.

Researchers concluded that targeted exercises for the leg muscles have helped reduce the risk of knee injuries; therefore, the dropout rates specifically due to knee pain complaints have drastically decreased.

Since 2001, I have been touting the benefits of stretching and strengthening exercises to help reduce knee injuries; therefore, help reduce the likelihood of knee pain.

Do your knees a favor if you are currently not incorporating stretches in your daily routine then-START DOING THEM! The simplest stretch you can begin doing TODAY is to sit in bed and have your legs stretched out in front of you. Then bend over from the waist as if you’re going to touch your toes.  Now most of you with knee pain will not be able to touch your toes.  DON’T WORRY ABOUT THAT!! The most important thing is that you feel a pull or stretch down the back of both legs or in your hamstring muscles. Hold this stretch for 10 seconds and repeat it 5 times. If you do this simple stretch every day, without fail you will notice that the knee pain and cramping in your legs will subside.

Also if you live in the Dallas, Fort Worth, or surrounding areas and are suffering with severe knee pain then call the DFW Spine & Joint Center at 214-596-1051 to find out if cold laser therapy and Dr. Alexandra Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program can help you get knee pain relief.

What’s Good For the Heart is Good for the Cartilage in Your Knees: How Physical Activity Helps Promote Cartilage in Healthy Knees

A total of 297 healthy individuals between the ages of 50-79 who had NO PREVIOUS HISTORY OF KNEE INJURY OR DISEASE were recruited to take part in a research study to find out whether the same vigorous activity that was good for the cardiovascular system was beneficial for the knees.  Cartilage volume was measured with an MRI before and after physical activity.

The study concluded that frequency and duration of activity increased the cartilage volume, and that vigorous activity has a beneficial effect on the cartilage in the knee joint in healthy adults.

If you suffer from knee pain or stiffness that eases with activity then you may want to try using a recumbent bike for 20 minutes on a daily basis.  This is a great non-weight bearing activity that will get your heart rate up, help keep the weight off, and strengthen the muscles around the knee joint alleviating the stress on the cartilage!

In conclusion, if you don’t have a prior knee injury or knee condition, such as arthritis or a meniscus tear, then vigorous physical activity may actually help prevent you from developing knee pain.

If you are currently suffering with knee pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee, a meniscus tear, tendinitis, bursitis, a baker’s cyst, or post-surgical pain and you live in the Dallas, Fort Worth or surrounding areas call our office at 214- 596-1051 to find out if you’re a candidate for Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.

Exercise Induced Leg Cramps or Leg Cramps Associated with Knee Pain?

Exercise enthusiasts, specifically marathon runners often suffer from leg cramps.  An often overlooked remedy for this problem is pickle juice.   NFL athletic trainers use pickle juice, which is a mixture of vinegar, salt and water to help football players stave off muscle cramps after a long training day.   Pickle juice has a ton of sodium, and also offers potassium and magnesium.  All of which have been credited to get rid of exercise induced cramping in the calves.

On the other hand, individuals with knee pain who do not exercise but complain of  having cramps in their calves should not ingest pickle juice since these type of leg cramps are NOT DUE TO EXERCISE.  Instead try stretching your calves. First, put comfortable shoes on, then stand and place the ball of your foot up against the wall and lean into the wall.  Hold this stretch for 10 seconds and repeat this 5 times.  You should feel this stretch in your calf muscle. Of course this stretch won’t get rid of your knee pain, but it will help ease the pain of those cramped calves, which tend to get your attention at night when your trying to sleep.

Chilean Rescued Miner Fights Through Knee Pain While Running New York City Marathon

Should He Really Have Suffered Through It?

Edison Pena, one of the rescued Chilean Miners and huge Elvis fan, told the New York Post on Sunday, “Running 26.2 miles in New York is torture.”  He was able to run the first half of the marathon but then his knees started hurting and he had to walk the last 12 miles.  He strapped ice packs to both knees which he initially injured during the 69 days he was trapped in the mine.

“Bad, bad, bad, very bad.”  He told the New York Post reporter as he walked past the 20^th mile marker. “My knees hurt a lot.”

As he crossed the finish line he stated,”…I struggled with myself, I struggled with my own pain, but I made it to the finish line.”

One can only admire Mr. Pena’s determination in completing this arduous marathon.  However, a lesson can definitely be taken away from his example.  When it comes to knee pain please don’t follow the old adage ‘no pain, no gain.’  This is completely untrue when it comes to the human body.  If you are experiencing knee pain while exercising STOP otherwise you may be further damaging your knees.

I really hope Mr. Pena’s’ knees fully recover from his decision to complete the New York City Marathon.  Unfortunately, if his knees continue to hurt he may want to consider getting Cold Laser Therapy knee treatments to relieve his knee pain.

Who knows?  Maybe he’ll visit me at the DFW Spine & Joint Center, and complete my Cold Laser Knee Program.  I would be honored to treat a hero.

Exercise Just as Beneficial as Knee Surgery for the Treatment of Runner’s Knee

A team of researchers from the ORTON Research Institute in Helsinki, Finland conducted a randomized controlled study to determine if arthroscopic knee surgery was more effective than exercise for the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome.  Patellofemoral pain syndrome or Runner’s Knee is a common diagnosis given to patients who suffer from knee pain around the front of the knee.  It is most often diagnosed in runners, jumpers, cyclists or in patients who heavily stress their knee joints. Patients usually experience dull, achy pain in the front of the knee and under the knee cap when they climb stairs, squat, or kneel.   Patellofemoral knee pain includes conditions such as chondromalacia patella, anterior knee pain syndrome, and patellofemoral misalignment.

In the study researchers randomly separated 56 individuals into two groups suffering from chronic patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).  The first group underwent an eight week exercise program: while the other group underwent arthroscopic knee surgery, and then an eight week home exercise program.  Nine months later the team assessed the outcomes of both groups by using the Kujala score for knee pain and mobility.  They also determined the cost of care associated with each patient. Interestingly, both groups experienced a decrease in pain and improvement in knee mobility and there was no significant difference in the average Kujala scores between both groups.  Other tests were also conducted but even those didn’t reveal a significant difference in outcomes between the two groups. The only significant difference between the groups was the healthcare costs.  Obviously the group that underwent knee surgery and exercise had higher healthcare costs then the group that only exercised.

Researchers also conducted a two year follow up, and still found that there were no differences in outcomes between the two groups.

The study concluded that exercise was just as effective as arthroscopic knee surgery but less costly for the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome, and that arthroscopic knee surgery should not be routinely used to treat knee pain.

Exercise Can Help Strengthen Knee, And Be Just as Beneficial as Knee Surgery | Dallas-Fort Worth

The Top 6 Things You Can Start Doing Today To Help Ease Your Arthritic Knee Pain

Please make sure you check with your primary doctor first before taking any supplements or starting an exercise program, but here’s a list of the top 6 things that you can start doing today to help ease your arthritic knee pain:

1. Start taking glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. I recommend Chondrocare from Metagenics to my patients. In my opinion has the highest quality glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM product available. If you’d like to purchase a bottle call my office and we’ll be happy to ship it to you (as long as you live in North America).

2. Take real Cod liver oil. It is a great source of omega 3 and Vitamin D. Research indicates that bone, joint and muscle pain is exacerbated if there are low levels of Vitamin D. Research also indicates that patients who take NON SYNTHETIC, HIGH QUALITY glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin, and MSM ALONG WITH OMEGA 3 notice a significant difference in their arthritic pain. The latest scientific findings show that people who combine glucosamine and omega 3 get up to 80% pain relief, with decreased morning stiffness. Pain in the hips was reduced by over 48% and in the knees by more than 55%. One of the last real cod liver oils made is Blue Ice™ Fermented Cod Liver Oil (2-3 capsules daily). This can be purchased at any good health food store. Please note: most cod liver oil today is stripped from vitamin D and lots of other nutrients. Some are replaced with synthetic vitamin D but that’s not what you want. So make sure it is real, raw and fermented cod liver oil.

3. Drink plenty of water (cartilage is made up of 70% water), and avoid caffeine.

4. Stop eating processed foods and sugars. This is pretty straight forward.

5. Try to keep your diet at least one-third raw whole foods (fruits, vegetables, nuts). Keep in mind red meat has arachidonic acid which causes an inflammatory reaction in the body and often exacerbates arthritic symptoms.

6. Start exercising only once you are no longer in the acute stage otherwise you will probably damage the joint more.

The bones, joints, and connective tissue are living tissue and in a constant state of renewal and restoration. Therefore, simple changes in your lifestyle like taking high quality vitamins, supplements, and changing your diet and activity level can make a real difference in easing your arthritic knee pain.

Top Things To Help Ease Arthritic Knee Pain – Stop Arthritic Knee Pain | Dallas-Fort Worth

Dallas-Fort Worth: Dr. Schnee, D.C. explains the Top 6 things you can do to Help Arthritic Knee Pain without having to do Knee Surgery,Knee Injections.

Could Knee Exercises Be Making Your Knee Pain Worse?

Most individuals suffering from a meniscus tear, cartilage loss, severe knee arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, or a baker’s cyst in the knee find it impossible to exercise without experiencing knee pain.  ‘No pain, no gain’ should not be the motto when it comes to exercising if you have been diagnosed with a knee problem.

Knee exercises should only be performed if the soft tissue in and around your knee joint are not damaged.  If you have been diagnosed with a meniscus tear, tendonitis, bursitis or a baker’s cyst you WILL MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE BY EXERCISING.  In addition, if you’ve  been diagnosed with ‘bone on bone’ or severe arthritis then there is a 60% chance that you will tear the meniscus or remaining cartilage in your knee if you  exercise or do anything that stresses the knee joint.  The reason for this is that the cartilage/meniscus in an arthritic knee is drier and more brittle and tears easier than the cartilage in a healthy knee.

Again, exercise should only be performed once the muscles, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and meniscus in the knee are healed and repaired; otherwise, exercise will only compound the problem and cause further damage to the joint.  Once the tissues in and around the joint have been treated properly then the FINAL STEP is to rehabilitate the muscles around the joint by exercising.  Otherwise, if you don’t treat what is causing your knee pain exercise will only COMPOUND THE PROBLEM AND FURTHER DAMAGE THE KNEE JOINT and the muscles around the joint will NEVER get stronger.

If you want your knee to get treated but do not want to undergo knee surgery then consider Dr.Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.  Most professional athletes undergo a series of cold laser treatments in combination with other modalities to get them back in the game quicker because it helps them avoid often career ending surgeries.

Cold laser therapy help reduce/eliminate pain and inflammation, repair and heal damaged/ irritated tissue.  In addition, Cold Laser therapy helps speed up the healing process so that you can get back to exercising again, safely and without side-effects.  Dr. Schnee’s  Cold Laser Knee Program is considered a complete treatment for knee pain  that combines low-level laser treatments (cold laser treatments), non-weight bearing exercises, and other modalities that promote rehabilitation of the knee.  Every patient’s program is unique depending on whether they suffer from arthritis, ‘bone on bone’, meniscus tears, bursitis, tendonitis, Baker’s Cyst, post surgical arthroscopic knee pain, or a combination of the listed conditions.

If you can’t exercise because you are suffering from knee pain due to cartilage loss, ‘bone on bone’, or osteoarthritis of the knee and you want to avoid knee surgery then Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program may be the answer to your knee problem. If you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area call our office at 214- 596-1051 to find out if you’re a candidate for Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.
