Are you drinking enough water? The lubricating effect hydration has on the joints is positive, which is why one cause of joint pain can be dehydration.

It is estimated that around 70 - 80% of joint cartilage consists of water. Staying hydrated will allow synovial fluid (the thick lubrication between the joints) to give you enough cushion so that the bones do not come in contact, which can be very painful!

If you are experiencing joint pain, consult with Dr. Matti Palo, an orthopedic specialist who specializes in alleviating pain from bone and joint problems.

Want to know the best way to make orthopedic injuries a thing of the past?

Low-impact exercise.

When you strengthen your muscles, you are improving your range of motion and protecting the joints. All of which makes a faster recovery possible. Plus, it can help prevent future injuries.

Whether youโ€™re currently recovering from a current orthopedic injury, preparing for surgery, or simply looking to prevent these types of injuries from occurring, itโ€™s important to talk to a doctor about different low-impact exercises you can do to meet your unique needs.

When you find a routine that you enjoy and can stick with, remember to keep this in mind:

โœ… Warm up before (and after) workouts to prepare your body.
โœ… Stretch your muscles to maintain and improve your flexibility.
โœ… Listen to your body if you feel any sharp pains. It means you should stop what youโ€™re doing.
โœ… Avoid high-impact exercise like running.

Dr. Matti Palo is an orthopedic specialist who specializes in alleviating pain from bone and joint problems. If you are experiencing any symptoms, a direct evaluation is a highly recommended first step to treatment.
