Knee Care Tips
While medicines/injections may be a part of treatment for knee pain, other lifestyle modifications may be helpful as well. Here are some strategies to help relieve knee pain:
- Minimize activities causing knee strain; take an elevator or escalator instead of the stairs;
- Avoid heavy lifting and minimize squatting movements
- Avoid high-impact sports like running, tennis, basketball or soccer; choose knee-friendly exercises like swimming, cycling and walking
- Get rid of extra body weight; avoid carrying heavy weights or backpacks
- Use heat and ice for relief; if you’ve been on your feet all day, apply a bag of ice wrapped in a damp cloth for 20 minutes to each affected knee
- Consider using a knee brace or a cane if you have trouble with balance or mobility
- Consult with an Orthopedician who specializes in knee problems
