Happy Feet, Healthy Body?

Most of us don’t spend a lot of time focusing on our feet if they’re not giving us any real problems.  Sure, if you’ve been standing all day you might notice some aching, but if you’re having hip pain, you’re not likely to go looking to your feet for an answer.

You should though!

Our feet are our foundation, they get us from place to place and allow us to stay upright.  Through a series of bones, tendons and muscles they are connected to the entirety of our body.  Thus, when structural problems arise in the foot, it can cause pain in the knees, hips, back and even neck and shoulders!

Visiting a podiatrist and/or a chiropractor can give you more insight to your foot health.  They can evaluate how well balanced your feet are, how much your arch has fallen (if it has, and most people have some loss of arch as they age.), and what methods would be best to increase your foot health.  (Including orthotics, foot exercises, better shoe types, etc.)

So next time you’re in pain and don’t know why, consider getting your feet checked out!  Until then, apply a bit of Sore No More to your problem areas to sooth that pain away.

The Care and Keeping of Knees

Many of our customers use Sore No More on their knees to combat arthritis pain or pain from general wear and tear.  We wanted to give our fans a few tips on keeping their knees in tip top shape.   

• Warm up before you exercise.  Stretching is important to ensure that you don’t injure your knees.
• Taking supplements such as Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM may promote joint health (consult your physician.)
• Consider your weight.  The loss of even a few pounds for those that are overweight can lessen the load on joints and have a profound impact on pain and joint longevity.
• See the doctor if you have knee pain for more than a week. Many problems can be corrected if they’re caught early.
• Exercise! Keeping your muscles limber and strengthening them does wonders for joint health.  Check out these websites for some knee exercises;
