Real Home Remedies for Knee Pain Relief


By Dr. Paul Anderson, M.D.

There are hundreds of so-called remedies for knee pain being peddled about on the web - all reporting to cure your knee pain.

Most of these 'miraculous' knee pain remedies are bogus ' and a total waste of money. Here are several knee pain home remedies that help my patients enjoy long-lasting knee pain relief. If possible, use as many of these individual knee pain remedies together as possible.

Gentle Pain Relief Knee Exercises

Bike Away Your Pain

Your cartilage receives nutrients from joint fluid - not from direct blood supply like most of your body tissues. Biking is one of the best and most gentle ways to pump nutrient-rich joint fluid to your knee cartilage.

Ride an exercise bike daily. Gradually work your way up to 30 minutes. Set the level at the lowest intensity until you build up strength. Try and stay between 100 and 120 RPMs. Make sure the seat is positioned so that your knee is almost-but-not-quite straight at the bottom of the pedal cycle.

Tai Chi and Qi Gong

These ancient Chinese arts combine slow rhythmic movements with meditation. They help both your local pain and inflammation while boosting the natural painkillers (endorphins) in your brain. Tai Chi or Qi Gong are most effective if done 30 minutes to an hour, everyday.

Walking

Walking daily helps reduce inflammation and pain by gently moving your knees. Start slowly and see if you can build up to 30 minutes to 1 hour. Do not walk through pain - that actually makes the Inflammation Pain Cycle worse. ‘No Pain, No Gain’ just doesn’t work for anyone with knee pain.

Other Knee Pain Home Remedies

  • eat low mercury fish daily or take fish oil supplement
  • eat lots curry spice - natural anti-inflammatories
  • knee ice pack or moist heating pad treatment 20 minutes four times a day
  • avoid eating inflammatory foods like sugar, wheat, flour, transfat, nightshades like tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, dairy and beef
  • eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
