SAVE YOUR KNEE in Hindi by Dr.RAJAT JANGIR

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and other beong rheumatoid arthrtis. With this aging degenerative process, the cartilage that cushions the joints breaks down and can cause pain, immobility, and stiffness.

Whether a previous injury or repetitive stress from high impact activity jumping, running, etc., injury to the knee can also result in acute, dull, recurring or chronic pain. This trauma can eventually develop into osteoarthritis if left untreated.

Putting extra stress on weight-bearing joints like your knees puts you at risk for knee pain, as well.  This excess body weight not only accelerates joint deterioration but also increases your risk of osteoarthritis.

Weak or inflexible muscles also put undue stress on the knee joints. Without good muscular strength and flexibility to safely support your full range of motion, your knees are at a greater risk of injury.

You can help protect the health of your knees by adopting these healthy  lifestyle habits, irrespective of your age. Always consider your doctor  before starting a new exercise regimen.
