How A Simple, Unattended Knee Injury Can Turn Into Chronic Back Pain


By Francisca Granzi


If you are suffering from any injury that prevents you from practicing your favorite sport or even walking correctly because you are in pain, then you have to seek some type of rehab. Without it, you may make things worse fast and you may be triggering even more damage to your body without even knowing it. If you don't address your injury correctly you may quickly end up with more pain due to an imbalance in your body or a correction you may make involuntarily to reduce pain. Consider for instance a bad knee injury - if you have a bad knee due to a sport's injury and you don't treat it correctly, then with time the pain may disappear by itself and you think you are good. however, during the injury's "natural healing process" you may put more pressure on the other leg in order to reduce the pain in the injured knee. If you carry yourself in this way for an extended period of time, which is likely when healing from the injury, you may unknowingly develop back problems down the road. Not only that, but when you don't use your injured knee for a while you will end up losing muscle mass on that leg and increasing muscle mass on the other. In addition, continuous hopping can develop bad posture, which in turn leads to lower back pain and neck pain.

Make sure you're getting enough exercise. Exercise is essential to keeping the muscles in your back and your abs strong and healthy. If your muscles are too weak, you'll be putting a lot more stress on your bones. Stronger muscles help take some of that stress for themselves and save the bones.

For knee accidents there are a number of styles of healing one can possibly do. They include things like physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, and Pilates. Pilates gives a terrific choice since if instructed and performed correctly it can produce fast results not only on the injured part of your body but overall.

In order to minimize back pain cause by injured or strained muscles, apply ice to the injured area. Although heat may feel better on the skin, it does nothing to reduce the inflammation, which is what is causing the back pain. Ice, however, will help reduce the swelling and inflammation. Reducing the inflammation relieves back pain.

In general, Pilates focuses on enhancing posture and assisting you to preserve an excellent body position while walking, running, sitting at a computer, driving your car, and performing any sports and activity imaginable. It even helps one sitting correctly on the couch while watching TV! A better overall posture decreases the likelihood of developing pain in the first place. Better posture means that the likelihood to seek back pain relief is minimal.

Learning to lift properly can save yourself a lot of back pain in the future. Learning to lift from the knees instead of just bending over to lift will greatly reduce the strain on your back. This will keep your back from being over exerted and help you keep your back from developing pain earlier.

The goal of Pilates is to improve the body overall strength and flexibility. Once the whole body is stronger, it will perform much better in any activity. Runners will run better, cyclist will pedal stronger, athletes will improve their performance. Better posture will also increase self confidence under any circumstance. Ultimately, when one feels better, he performs better.

Do not wear a shoe with a heel over one inch. If heels higher than this are worn, the wearer's center of gravity shifts. This causes back strain and pain. It can become chronic pain if high heels are worn often. If they must be worn, limiting the amount of time spent in them will help decrease the chance of pain and injury.

The proper approach to Pilates ought to be to concentrate on increasing body strength whilst observing and finding and improving difficult postural and mobility patterns that could induce discomfort. Pilates should really be a cool workout and Pilates trainers must make certain that the moment their consumers leave the center they feel re-invigorated, fitter and much healthier.
