Understanding Two Conditions of Knee and Leg Pain

by | Jul 30, 2015 | Health Articles

Knee Pain New Fairfield CT Pain Relief
The joints of our knees and the leg pains associated can be confusing or frightening sometimes when we hear the medical diagnosis.  The actual diagnosis terms can sometimes be more scary than the actual condition.

But do not fear!  Below are two common conditions explained simply so that you can begin focusing on the solution rather than the pain.

Patellofemoral Pain

Patellofemoral pain is also known as the softening of the cartilage of your knee cap or “anterior knee pain”.  Quite simply this is a big medical word for a conditional pain where the shiny cartilage surface of your patella (knee cap) is softened due to many factors including abnormal pressure across the joint surface or hormonal changes in your body.

This knee pain is primarily located over the front of your knee and is described as a deep aching pain.  It is sometimes associated with swelling and is usually worse when your knee is bent for long periods of time such sitting in a car or bus.  The pain also worsens with such activities as running, biking, squatting, kneeling or stair climbing either up or down stairs.  Most often this condition is associated with mild or moderate swelling of the knee and some people report a grinding feeling in their kneecap. It is more common in young adults, normally female, especially after a growth spurt, or in heavier adults where the knee(s) must carry more weight.

Research has shown that many times this problem can be due to a muscular imbalance of the quadricep muscle whereby the outer quadricep is stronger than the inner quadricep muscle and causes the knee cap to track incorrectly. The muscle imbalance and improper tracking leads to irritation and inflammation on the undersurface of the knee cap and ultimately causes cartilage degeneration.   It is usually pretty simple to diagnose the problem, but the key is to look at the feet first!

iliotibial Band Syndrome

Iliotibial band syndrome is due to inflammation of the iliotibial band, a thick band of fibrous tissue that runs down the outside of the leg.  The iliotibial band begins at the hip and extends to the outer side of the shin bone (tibia) just below the knee joint.  The band functions in coordination with several of the thigh muscles to assist in flexion of the knee joint and to provide stability to the outside of the knee joint.  The irritation usually occurs over the outside of the knee joint, at the end of the femur (thigh) bone.  The iliotibial band crosses bone and muscle at this point.   In proper function there is a bursa between these structures which should facilitate a smooth gliding motion. However, when the band is inflamed, the iliotibial band does not glide easily and normally the pain worsens with continued movement and resolves with rest.

Great Pain Relief As Nature Intended

Natural Healthcare New Fairfield CT Pain ReliefAre you suffering with pain for so long that your constant search has led you no closer to the real problem?

The first thing you do know is that the pain is real and you also find that…

  • It can be intermittent or constant
  • It can be sharp, dull, in one spot or over a broader area
  • It can distract you at any time of the day
  • It can irritate you
  • It can hamper your lifestyle
  • It can control you… and even control those around you too!

In fact, pain can be so bad it can affect an entire family which emotionally then causes you more pain.

Pain – What is it?

PAIN: So what is it then? Well here’s the answer in simple terms.

Pain is a warning signal from your body. Pain tells you that your body has exceeded “some” physical, chemical or emotional limit – it can no longer adapt to handle it like is used to.

The Unfortunate Reality of Man’s Chemistry Solution to Pain Relief

The unfortunate truth is that over the last century man has been searching for pain solutions and cures in the chemistry lab.  While the pharmaceutical drugs created for pain relief have worked remarkably well temporarily, it has been the downfall for our society.  Today, our society has fallen under the belief that the cure to all of our ailments is to be found in a pill, lotion, or potion rather than to address the real cause to our low back pain, migraine headaches, carpal tunnel, knee pain, sciatica, poor posture, fatigue, period pain, neck pain, tension, weight problem, and the never ending list.  You see, the way these drugs work is to disable, for a short time, our brain’s ability to feel sensation of pain.  The pain’s still there, but we just can’t feel it!  It’s like placing a piece of duct tape over our oil light that is blaring at us on our car dashboard.  Just because we can’t see (or feel it), it doesn’t mean it’s not there!  The worst part is that when we temporarily can not feel the pain; our body has no way to stop us from injuring our body further by allowing us to do the activities that the pain would not normally allow us to do.

Although there have been incredible breakthroughs the real “wins” in health and pain relief have been proven to be when we have repaired our bodies naturally with the help of natural spinal correction (the foundation of your skeletal system), allowing natural repairs and restorations to our nervous system, plus physical rehabilitation and exercises to the muscles, joints, and discs which may be affected.

Evolutions Role New Fairfield CT Back Pain

Man's trajectory from the beginning has been to come, become, adapt, and grow.  Our evolution from even a small infant can be measured by lying to sitting, sitting to crawling, and finally crawling to standing.  With this said our species from an outside observer would now be entered as the era of de-evolution of man....
