Flexible, strong muscles are the best way to keep your knees healthy and prevent future injury, so even if you have some knee pain, developing an exercise routine that will strengthen the surrounding muscles can help you in more ways than one. Strengthening the muscles surrounding your knee helps to alleviate some of the stress and strain placed on the knee when performing everyday activities. Stretching can also help you build more flexibility, which can reduce tightness that is sometimes caused by strengthening the muscles through exercise.

Women More At Risk For ACL Injuries

ACL Injuries In Women

Women and girls are more likely to suffer from torn ACLs than their male counterparts, according to new research. An ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injury involves a tear in the ligament that stabilizes the knee and joins the upper and lower leg bones. An ACL injury requires surgery to correct and can be caused by a variety of activities (typically when the knee is twisted, bent backwards, or bent in an unnatural way).

Joint Pain in Children

Persistent Joint Pain in Children

Children that suffer from sore or achy joints may be experiencing natural growing pains or soreness resulting from a recent injury. However, if the pain persists, a medical evaluation is necessary to determine whether the pain is a result of a more serious condition like juvenile arthritis. An autoimmune disease, juvenile idiopathic arthritis should be diagnosed as early as possible so that proper treatment can be administered. Without treatment, this condition may result in irreversible joint damage, developmental problems, disability, or deformity.
