I didn\u2019t really understand that at the time, but I certainly do now.<\/p>\n<p>While many people believe that they won\u2019t suffer from joint pain or problems because they get regular exercise, the truth is that exercise, while it\u2019s excellent for the body in many ways, it can be really hard on the joints.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few secrets, however, that can go a long way towards helping you keep your joints working properly and pain-free.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more? Check out my secrets for keeping your joints healthy for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Tips for Maintaining Healthy Joints<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember that healthy joints rely on strong connective tissue and bones, so if you develop tendonitis or have a family history of osteoporosis, be sure to take your doctor or chiropractor\u2019s advice for taking care of yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret #1- Go Low<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Low impact exercise, that is.<\/p>\n<p>The best types of exercise are the ones that don\u2019t give your joints a regular pounding day after day. Some of the best exercise that won\u2019t ruin your joints include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Swimming<\/li>\n<li>Bicycling<\/li>\n<li>Yoga<\/li>\n<li>Strength training<\/li>\n<li>Rowing<\/li>\n<li>Walking<\/li>\n<li>Dancing<\/li>\n<li>Nordic track<\/li>\n<li>Tai Chi<\/li>\n<li>Trim Trails<\/li>\n<li>Aqua aerobics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many of the above exercises can still improve cardiovascular health but are easy on the joints.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret #2- Improve Your Flexibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you don\u2019t stretch regularly, the joints can feel stiff because of shortened ligaments, tendons, and muscles. You can improve the flexibility of your joints by becoming more limber. Try to incorporate at least two stretching programs into your exercise routine each week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret #3- Build Muscle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Muscles help to support the joints, especially the knees. Having stronger muscles means that the joint does less work. Even a small amount of muscle growth or increase in muscle strength can make a huge difference in how the joints function and how they feel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret #4-Your Mother Was Right<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When your mother yelled at you to sit up straight, she was 100% right. Slouching is a huge source of neck pain, shoulder pain, and low back pain.<\/p>\n<p>I see patients almost daily who suffer from joint pain in one area or another and many times it stems from sedentary jobs where the person spends most of their days slouched over a keyboard. You might think that all that \u201cjoint cracking\u201d would be enough to make them sit up straight, many people have developed this bad habit to the point that they don\u2019t even recognize that they are slouching!<\/p>\n<p>Sit up straight when you are at your desk and take frequent breaks to look up and move your neck around when using your cell phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret #5-Maintain a Healthy Weight<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p>This is easier said than done, I know, but it is vital if you want to have pain free joints. Every pound that you lose is 4 pounds less pressure on your knees, ankles, hips, and feet.<\/p>\n<p>If you need help losing weight, speak to your doctor, or join a community exercise group. Weight Watchers or similar groups offer a source of positive support and friendship with others who are also trying to lose weight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret #6-Treat Injuries Right Away<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is especially true if you hurt the joint itself. Joints that have been injured can quickly lose cartilage, which makes it much more difficult to heal and restore full function.<\/p>\n<p>If you should injure a joint (or if you have unexplained pain in a joint(s)) see your primary care physician or chiropractor as soon as possible. You must take steps right away to minimize more damage and reduce inflammation, not to mention manage pain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret #7-Drink Water<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You might be sick of constantly hearing \u201cdrink water\u201d, but that doesn\u2019t make it any less true. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3819513\/\">c<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3819513\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">artilage in your jo<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3819513\/\">ints<\/a> is kept lubricated by water and other fluids. When we don\u2019t drink enough water, the body compensates by reducing the fluid in the joints, which can cause pain and joint damage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret #8- Reduce Stress<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption>Young woman getting massage in chair in therapy room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You may not know it, but stress causes our bodies to kick into a response mode that includes inflammation. Inflammation causes pain and swelling, including in the joints.<\/p>\n<p>While you can\u2019t remove all sources of stress from your life, you can learn to manage it. Meditation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5843960\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">yoga<\/a>, and tai chi are all great ways to manage stress. Regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4525352\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">massage therapy<\/a> is also helpful when it comes to reducing stress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secret #9-Consider Anti-Inflammatory Supplements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are under a doctor\u2019s care or if you are taking any prescription medication, always speak to your pharmacist, doctor, or chiropractor before consuming any supplements, even \u201call-natural\u201d ones to avoid a dangerous drug interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Inflammation is the culprit everyone needs to beat to stop pain, reduce swelling, and improve joint health. There are many natural supplements which have been proven to fight inflammation, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5664031\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Curcumin<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3685774\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Magnesium<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/do-fish-oil-supplements-reduce-inflammation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fish Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3665023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ginger<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2907180\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spirulina<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pay attention to the pain signals that your body sends you. Don\u2019t continue to exercise or do tasks that cause your joints to hurt until you see a health care professional.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good idea to balance activities in your life. This means making time for rest, work, and play.<\/p>\n<p>In rare cases, joint pain is a sign of a more serious condition, such as tendonitis, Lyme disease, bursitis, rheumatoid arthritis, or osteoporosis. If your joint pain does not subside substantially within 4 weeks or if it becomes worse, see your chiropractor or doctor as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Brent Wells is a licensed chiropractor who founded Better Health Alaska Chiropractors in 1998.
