Best Home Remedies for Knee Pain? Try Extreme Recover

You are viewing this post, maybe because you are experiencing pain in the knee or someone you love is experiencing knee pain. Whatever the reason is, don’t worry, my friend. Today I will discuss how you can manage knee pain at home with some proven and science-based remedies. So, keep reading.

First of all, here are some basics.

Knee pain can occur for a variety of reasons, such as arthritis, sprain or injuries, and inflammation, etc. Most of the knee pains can be treated at home successfully if they are at the preliminary and middle stages.

But, if you notice the pain is increasing, and the situation is worsening gradually, then make no late and immediately consult a physician.

With that said, here are 5 at home remedies for knee pain (with scientific research data).

Start with RICE

If your knee pain caused by muscles tear down, falling or twisting the leg, then you should remember the acronym RICE, which stands for:

Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation

After taking a hit on the knee, in whatever form, you should take rest so that your knee gets time to recover itself. Our body is a fantastic machine. With proper care, it can heal itself soon enough.

To speed up the recovery process, you can use ice therapy. Coldwater or ice cubes can soothe pain and swelling. Apply ice for 10-20 minutes and 3 or times a day. But remember not to apply directly to the skin. Apply it through a soft cloth, towel preferably.

Wrapping up the impacted area can prevent infection and enhance the healing process. Just remember, don’t apply bandage too tight.

Elevating the injured area can also reduce pain. While applying ice or bandage, try to raise your leg. If possible, lie down and elevate the knee above the heart level.

Increase Your Level of Activity

Exercise can make us fit and less prone to injury; everybody knows that. But, if you neglected the truth in the past and now experiencing pain, especially knee pain, you should seriously consider starting exercising regularly.

Numerous studies have shown that simple home-based exercises can reduce knee pain significantly.^1, 2

But, don’t overdo it as your knee is already injured, and overdoing can worsen the situation.

Some of the exercises you can consider are light walking, jogging, swimming, yoga.

Perform Strength Exercises

There are certain types of exercises that are designed to focus on the knee joint. Try them also if your pain is at the beginning stage. Some of them are,

• Hamstring Stretch
• Quad Set
• Pillow Squeeze
• Sit to Stand, etc.

All the exercises here can be performed at home and found to be beneficial for knee pain. If you feel uncomfortable and pain increases after doing the exercises, immediately stop doing these and consult with a physician.

Consider Taking the Right Foods

Foods are like fuel for our bodies. Taking the right food at the right time in the right amount can improve our immunity and fitness level.

Though injury, sprain, and arthritis are some of the common causes of knee pain, knee pain can also cause due to lack of some vital nutrients like vitamin D, calcium, and iron, etc.

Whatever the reason for your knee pain, whether it is due to injury or lack of nutrients, experts suggest some food that can enhance the healing process and prevent further damage by increasing bone density and muscle mass.

Some of the foods suggested by experts are:

• Fish Oil
• Nuts & Seeds
• Brassica Vegetables
• Colorful Fruits
• Olive Oil
• Lentils and Beans
• Garlic and Root Vegetables
• Whole Grains
• Bone Broth
• Dark Chocolate. (Read More Here)

Knee pain can be caused due to overweight sometimes. Excessive body weight puts extra pressure on your knee joints, which will eventually lead to pain. Measure whether you are overweight or not here.

If your weight is more than standard, then you should focus on reducing the extra weight by following a proper diet chart, routine exercise, and a healthy lifestyle.

Try Massage and Aroma Therapy

Massage and aromatherapy are found to be effective in knee pain. The following are some important self-massage tips suggested by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTC):

1. Start massaging in a seated position and wear loose and comfortable clothing.
2. Maintain a good posture.
3. The massage can be done with or without lubrication. However, my recommendation is to use an excellent balm to avoid any irritating fraction or making your knee too slippery.
4. Loosely close your hands and press upper, middle, and lower thigh. Continue this for 10 times. Repeat the process 3 times.
5. Place the heel of your hand on top of right thigh, while keeping the right leg flat to the floor. Glide the heel of the hand down to the top of the knee and then return to the starting position. Repeat the process 5 times.

Continue the process with your inner and outer thigh of both legs.

6. Finish the process with a deep breath. (Read the full article here)
