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.

Bone on Bone Knee Pain Takes a Toll on Young Athletes
Bone on Bone knee pain isn’t only reserved for seniors with years of wear and tear. In fact, most professional athletes will suffer from bone on bone knee pain, or other joint problems early on in their careers.
Recently, Kobe Bryant the thirty two year old star basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers stopped practicing with his team because of severe knee pain. Bryant is now only playing in actual games in order to prevent further wear and tear on his knee joint. He announced to Peter Vecsey from The New York Post “… I have very little cartilage under my right knee cap, it’s almost bone on bone.” Kobe Bryant not only wore down the cartilage in his knee because of years of wear and tear from playing basketball, but he had three prior knee surgeries which have also contributed to the cartilage loss and arthritis in his knee joint.
In addition, Portland’s Brandon Roy who plays basketball for the Trail Blazers has had to stop playing altogether because he was experiencing severe knee pain on the court. He just announced that he was going to get another arthroscopic knee surgery even though doctors told him that he no longer had meniscus/cartilage in his knee, and that he was bone on bone. Obviously, Roy is desperate to keep playing because arthroscopic knee surgery is never recommended for bone on bone because the surgery actually exacerbates the problem.
Both Bryant and Roy probably need total knee replacements but that would be unrealistic since it would force them into retirement. If these athletes want to keep playing they should consider getting a trained health care professional to use Cold Laser Therapy on their knee for pain management. If performed correctly cold laser therapy might make a huge difference in allowing both basketball players to practice and play with their team again.

Dallas Cold Laser Doctor Helps Patient Experience Knee Pain Relief without Knee Surgery
Arlington, Texas resident Mary G. visited Dr. Alexandra Schnee, D.C. at the DFW Spine & Joint Center because she was suffering from severe knee pain. Mrs. G already had arthroscopic knee surgery, but even after the surgery the constant pain in her knee persisted. The pain in her knee prevented her from doing any type of activity. After knee surgery the orthopedic knee doctor told her that her knee was headed for a total knee replacement but since she already had a knee replacement on the other knee she wanted to avoid it. This is Mrs. G’s story and her experience with Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program:
“I had arthroscopic knee surgery on my right knee (and four weeks of therapy) but afterwards my right knee was still hurting me. I was miserable and had constant pain in my right knee. I walked with a cane when my knee pain was unbearable, and I became completely inactive and gained 50 pounds. I couldn’t walk or sit for more than one hour or dance like before my knee started hurting me. I could not kneel; I could not run or climb a ladder. I could not play with my grand children like before. I tried Alleve, cortisone injections, crèmes, Morphine, and other pain medications but nothing worked.
To make matters worse after the arthroscopic knee surgery the surgeon told me that I would need a total knee replacement in 2-5 years. I didn’t want to have a total knee replacement because I already had my right knee replaced after having 2 arthroscopies and it was still hurting me.
So instead I decided to start Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Treatment Knee Program. I am very pleased with my experience and with the results. My overall improvement in my knee has been about 70%. I now can sleep better and I can also walk with less pain for longer distances.”

Cold Laser Treatments Stop Burning, Aching in Knee for Cedar Hill Resident
Recently, Mrs. H completed Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program because she was complaining of severe burning, aching and stiffness in her right knee, and she wanted to postpone having a total knee replacement for another 5 years. This is her story.
“I suffered with sporadic aching and burning in my right knee along with extreme stiffness first thing in the morning and after sitting for a while. Coming down stairs quickly was extremely painful and I had to be careful about sitting on the floor because it was hard to get up. Also, the pain in my knee was noticeable more in colder months. I tried Ibuprofen, and chiropractic adjustments-everything helped a little but nothing was permanent. I was told that I would eventually need a knee replacement by an orthopedic surgeon.
Since completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program it’s just easier to do everything now, and my knee feels 50-60% better then when I started care. Yes, [I am pleased with my overall experience and results with Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program at the DFW Spine & Joint Center].”

Fort Worth Resident Can Now Stand And Walk Without The Assistance Of A Walker with Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Treatments
Prior to completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program, knee pain kept Mrs. P., a Fort Worth resident, from walking any distance without the use of a walker. Her surgeon suggested a total knee replacement after knee injections proved to be unsuccessful. However, Mrs. P’s cardiologist did not approve of her undergoing major surgery so she looked for other options and found Dr. Alexandra Schnee, D.C. in Irving, Texas. The following is Mrs. P’s story, and how Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program has made a major difference in her life.
“My pain level was a 10 [in my knee]!! I was unable to walk without the assistance of a walker. I then only walked for the necessary activities of daily living. I was unable to sleep at night due to the pain. I could not sit for very long either. Initially, I went to an orthopedic surgeon for an x-ray and examination. He recommended a knee replacement. He also gave me a knee injection which did no good at all. I tried physical therapy which caused more pain.
Since completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program I can now stand, and walk without the assistance of a walker [because I have very little knee pain]. Although I still have limitations, I can take care of my daily living needs and attend some social activities. I now sleep soundly without medication, and I can now sit for longer periods of time. I am very pleased with the Cold Laser treatments that I received. I am experiencing approximately 80% mobility over my original condition. I expect this to improve with time as I continue the exercises provided to me by Dr. Schnee.

Tai Chi Helps Relieve Osteoarthritis Knee Pain in Seniors
Recently, a patient with osteoarthritis knee pain asked me if Tai Chi, a form of Chinese martial arts, would help reduce their OA symptoms. Absolutely!! The slow rhythmic movements of Tai Chi not only help reduce stiffness and pain in the joint but they also help improve a patient’s mood.
A recent study published online by Arthritis Care and Research, conducted by Tufts University School of Medicine found that Tai Chi, a form of Chinese martial arts, helps seniors improve symptoms of osteoarthritis knee pain.
Researchers from Tufts University School of Medicine divided 40 participants into two groups. Twenty participants attended Tai Chi classes 2X a week for 12 weeks for 60 minutes. The other 20 participants attended a 60 minutes class that covered stretches, diet and nutrition and information about the disease. At the end of the 12 week period the group that practiced Tai Chi noticed a significant decrease in knee pain over the control group. Researchers also noted an increase in strength, range of motion, and improved overall balance with the group that practiced Tai Chi.
After undergoing my Cold Laser Knee Program to help relieve osteoarthritis knee pain I encourage all of my patients to find a fitness facility that offers classes in Tai Chi. If you suffer with osteoarthritis knee pain you should consider doing the same.

Cold Laser Knee Program Helps Dallas Resident Walk and Sleep through the Night Pain-Free!
Dallas resident and full-time property manager Mrs. B could hardly walk without the use of a cane when she initially came in to see Dr. Alexandra Schnee, D.C.
She was diagnosed with a Baker’s Cyst, osteoarthritis of the knee and ‘bone on bone’ by her orthopedic doctor. Since Mrs. B is the sole caretaker for her handicapped husband she chose to delay knee replacement surgery, and instead undergo Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.
The following testimonial was written by Mrs. B after she completed treatments at the DFW Spine & Joint Center.
“At times [the pain in my right knee] was extreme to the point I couldn’t walk. The knee would buckle and the pain was constant. I couldn’t walk, perform my household work, or perform my job [duties]). I tried shots in the knee, [wearing] a knee brace, over the counter medications, and heat on the affected area. The orthopedic surgeon said a knee replacement was quite possible if the Euflexxa shots did not give relief.
Since completing Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program I can do everyday chores and care for my handicapped husband as well as take care of my work obligations-I have no pain in my right knee so I can sleep at night. The knee pain and swelling is significantly reduced and with ice and Biofreeze I am able to do most everything I need to do.”

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.

Knee Replacement for Amarillo Resident is No Longer an Option Since ‘Bone on Bone’ Knee Pain is Almost Gone
Martha C. drove to the DFW Spine & Joint Center in Irving, Texas from Amarillo every week to undergo Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program. This is her story…
“I had constant throbbing pain in my right knee causing me to give in to it and I was putting constant pressure on my left knee and hip. I also had knee pain at night that would wake me and cause loss of sleep. I had to move around to find a comfortable place that would ease the pain in my knee. I couldn’t walk for any length of time or distance. Climbing up and down stairs was very painful. Standing in line for a short time would bring on pain. I was told by the orthopedic surgeon that I was ‘bone on bone’ and I needed knee surgery if the pain became too intense to bear. I tried taking medications, injections, six weeks of therapy and exercise but none of those things helped.
I am very pleased with my results with Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program. The knee treatments have stopped the constant pain in my knee and it has been wonderful. I am happy with my experience with the cold laser treatments and the therapists. Dr. Schnee explained everything in terms that anyone could understand. My percentage of overall improvement is 90%!”

Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program Allows Arlington Resident to No Longer Experience Knee Pain from Medial Meniscus Tear and Arthritis of the Knee
The following story is from Susan S., a physical education teacher from Arlington, Texas. The MRI of her knee indicated she had a medial meniscus tear, degenerative arthritis of the knee, and fluid/swelling around the knee joint. The orthopedic surgeon wanted to do arthroscopic knee surgery to ‘clean up’ her knee, but Mrs. S knew there was a better option…Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program.
“I had a very swollen right knee and I had a pain level of 9. I limped severely and had to a take a steroid called prednisone. I could not walk without limping. Driving hurt my knee. I could not walk long distances, hula hoop, dance, or use my Wii for my leg exercises activities. I had an MRI of my knee [which showed arthritis in the knee and a medial meniscus tear]. I was told [by the orthopedic doctor] that I had to have arthroscopic knee surgery. I did not like that option. I researched online for an alternate procedure and found cold laser therapy. I did not waste any time getting cold laser therapy because I am a physical education teacher.
I am thrilled with the overall experience and my results with Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program. I feel my overall improvement is 85%. I’m out of pain. I do not take any medicine. I do not limp anymore. I can bicycle and walk long distances [without experiencing any knee pain]. The swelling in my knee was reduced to less than 20%. Driving does not hurt my knee. I’m not tired from performing my job anymore. I’m happy with my results from [Dr. Schnee’s Cold Laser Knee Program]. I highly recommend cold laser therapy for anyone with pain, swelling or knee pain or limping. “
