Healthy Knees and Shoulders with Expert Tips from Dr. Rahul Khanna
The Importance of Strong Knees and Shoulders
Our knees and shoulders are essential for daily movement, whether it’s walking, running, lifting, or even reaching for something on a shelf. But injuries and pain can make these simple tasks difficult. Dr. Rahul Khanna, a knee and shoulder specialist, shares expert tips to keep your joints strong and pain-free.
Common Causes of Knee and Shoulder Pain
Knowing the underlying causes of joint pain is the initial step toward treatment and prevention.
1. Injuries
Sports injuries, accidents, or falls can result in damage to these joints.
2. Overuse
Repeated action, particularly among athletes, can cause strain in muscles and joints, resulting in conditions such as tendinitis.
3. Aging
As one grows older, joints tend to develop osteoarthritis, which is marked by the degradation of protective cartilage.
4. Poor Posture
Improper posture when standing or sitting may put excessive pressure on the joints, causing aches and pains in the long run.
Tips for Healthy Knees and Shoulders
Forming good habits can greatly benefit joint health and injury prevention.
1. Regular Exercise
Strengthening the muscles surrounding your joints offers a greater level of support. Swimming, cycling, and yoga are good low-impact exercises to consider.
2. Maintain a Healthy Weight
Excess weight puts extra pressure on the knees. A healthy diet and regular exercise can keep your joints stress-free.
3. Maintain Proper Posture
Always sit and stand with a straight back. Avoid slouching and use ergonomic chairs if you sit for long hours.
4. Include Stretching and Warm-Up Exercises
Warming up and stretching before physical activities can prevent injuries and improve flexibility.
5. Use Correct Lifting Techniques
When lifting heavy weights, use your legs instead of your shoulders and back to avoid joint strain.
