If you have bone spurs on your knees, a small movement can relieve them

Bone spurs on the knees are a very common disease in daily life, but there are two misunderstandings about bone spurs: joint pain is not caused by "bone spurs" and more exercise will prevent bone spurs. A simple little exercise - squatting against the wall has a good therapeutic effect on treating bone spurs in the knee.

1. Two misunderstandings about bone spurs:

1. Joint pain is not caused by "bone spurs".

Many people think that "bone spurs" are like iron nails or bamboo thorns that penetrate deeply into the joints, and the larger the bone spurs, the more obvious the pain. This is wrong. Symptoms such as pain will only occur when long-term stimulation of bone hyperplasia causes sterile inflammation around the joints. It has nothing to do with the size of the "bone spur".

2. Will exercising more prevent bone spurs?

Many people believe that they must exercise more to grind away the "bone spurs", but in fact this idea is only half right. Experiments have shown that long-term excessive exercise or labor can not only increase the wear of the joint surface, but also promote the formation of bone spurs and aggravate the degeneration of cartilage. This is also the cause of knee osteoarthritis that troubles many middle-aged and elderly friends, which may be related to a lot of labor and exercise in their prime years.

On the other hand, appropriate and correct exercise and labor methods can prevent or treat osteoarthritis. Therefore, exercise and labor are a double-edged sword. Here we would like to remind everyone that reasonable exercise is very important for preventing osteoarthritis, such as avoiding excessive climbing exercises. How to choose exercise if you already have osteoarthritis? This can be improved through non-weight-bearing exercises.

2. Recommend a small exercise to relieve your knee pain.

Let me introduce an exercise to you - wall squats, which can strengthen your leg muscles, make your knee joints more stable, and effectively prevent and relieve osteoarthritis of the knee joints. This sport is basically not restricted by the venue and can be performed at home.

Action essentials: Half squat, stand with your back against the wall, the angle between the thigh and calf is best at 90 degrees, but cannot be less than 90 degrees. However, the elderly should do what they can, and the best squatting depth should be that which does not cause obvious knee pain. Be sure to pay attention to falls, slips, etc. to prevent fractures.

Warm reminder: We must have a correct understanding of diseases and learn to prevent them through a reasonable diet, reasonable exercise and a reasonable lifestyle. If the disease has already come, don't be afraid. Instead, you should take active and correct treatment, and adopt a reasonable diet, exercise, and friendly relationship with the disease to slow down the progression of the disease and prevent the occurrence of complications.
