Joint replacement surgery is a significant procedure that can be costly and risky. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to potentially avoid this type of surgery and improve your joint health naturally. As a chiropractor in New Fairfield, CT, I have helped many patients avoid joint replacement surgery by implementing the following tips:
Stay Active
Regular exercise can help keep your joints flexible and reduce the risk of joint degeneration. Low-impact activities like walking, swimming, and cycling are great options.
Maintain a Healthy Weight
Excess weight puts extra strain on your joints, which can lead to wear and tear over time. Maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce this strain and protect your joints.
Eat a Balanced Diet
A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce joint pain and inflammation.
Get Regular Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments can help improve joint mobility, reduce pain and inflammation, and prevent further degeneration.
Consider Alternative Treatments
There are many alternative treatments available that can help improve joint health, including acupuncture, massage therapy, and physical therapy.
Conclusion:
By implementing these tips and working with a chiropractor, you can potentially avoid joint replacement surgery and maintain healthy, pain-free joints for years to come. Remember, prevention is key when it comes to joint health, so start taking steps to care for your joints today.

As we get older, we begin to find signs of age. Our skin is not as firm. We are not as flexible. We slow down and actually acknowledge we are in pain. But what happens when our joint pain begins to become so excruciating that we are limited in our day to day activities? Unfortunately...

Grab your sneakers and a light sweatshirt and let’s get walking! While some fitness enthusiasts relentlessly seek out the latest, trendiest exercise crazes, many others are returning to good, old-fashioned walking to help them feel great and get into shape without becoming a member of an expensive gym. Best of all except for a good pair of walking shoes, it requires virtually no equipment. So whether enjoying the wonder of nature or simply the company of a friend, walking can be a healthy, invigorating experience. And thanks to its convenience and simplicity, walking just might be right for you, too.
Unplug For Your Health
A sedentary lifestyle has a debilitating influence on people’s health as they age. Therefore exercise is imperative.
Enjoy All the Great Benefits of Walking
- Improves cardiovascular endurance
- Tones muscles of the lower body
- Burns calories: about 80 if walking 2 miles per hour, and about 107 if walking 4.5 miles per hour
- Reduces risk of heart disease
The Foot Locker
The first item of business when beginning your walking program is to select the right pair of shoes. Too many people choose fashion over function when purchasing running shoes, not realizing that poor-fitting shoes can do more than hurt their stride; they can also lead to pain throughout the body.
Make sure the shoes you purchase fit properly. The balls of your feet should rest exactly at the point where the toe end of the shoe bends during walking.
Select shoes with plenty of cushioning in the soles to absorb the impact.
Shop for sneakers at the end of the day or after a workout when your feet are generally at their largest. Wear the type of socks you usually wear during exercise.
When trying on shoes, be sure to wear them for at least 10 minutes at the store.
Once you have purchased a pair of shoes, don’t walk them on the ground. While estimates vary as to when is the best time to replace old shoes, most experts agree that between 300 and 500 miles is optimal.
Put Your Feet On The Floor!
Walking just 12 minutes every other day can offer significant health benefits. But to increase your longevity, try to eventually work up to 30 minutes, five days per week. Experts agree that to be considered “active,” adults should try to take 10,000 steps each day. Wearing a pedometer is an easy way to track your progress. Follow these great tips to start strong and stay strong:
Move your arms freely, in coordination with the opposite leg.
Don’t stoop your head or look down at a phone or the ground as you walk. This position of the head will challenge the normal forward curve of your neck, which, in turn, will cause you to carry your weight improperly.
Don’t carry weights or dumbbells while walking. They’re better used as a separate part of your exercise regimen.
Expect a little soreness in the thighs and calves for the first week or two. If you experience more than soreness, check with your doctor of chiropractic.
Walk briskly, with “purpose.” Simply sauntering, while relaxing and enjoyable, is not an effective form of cardiovascular exercise.
Of course, be sure to consult your doctor before beginning any exercise program.
The Right Path
Follow these tips to maximize the benefits and reduce the chance of injuries:
Walking on a cushioned or rubberized track is ideal because the cushioning of this type of track absorbs most of the impact of your walking. Many recreation centers offer this type of track free of charge.
The grass is another good surface, but watch out for hidden dips or holes in the ground.
Walking on a surface with no give, such as concrete or a mall floor, is not your best choice because this type of surface will not absorb much of the impact your body will experience. If you do choose to walk on such a surface, be extra careful to select highly cushioned shoes.
Just Do It!
We want to help keep you moving in perfect balance to maximize the benefit and help to avoid low back, hip, or knee pain. So as you lace up and head for the open road make sure to call and get a check up for top performance.
