(Health-NewsWire.Net, August 26, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Knee osteoarthritis is one of the arthritic conditions that is making the lives of millions of people more challenging to deal with every day. Sufferers often resort to a variety of pain management options and certain measures to improve the quality of their life. The good news is that there is one simple step they can take to make things a little bit better.
A study finds flexible-soled shoes helpful for knee osteoarthritis sufferers. Shoes are worn to provide protection to the feet, and they can provide more benefits if chosen properly. Sufferers only need to choose the right pair of shoes to improve their mobility and reduce the likelihood of injuries.
"There are many shoes available nowadays, and choosing the right pair has become very easy and fast. People can even do it in just a matter of clicks," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
In the annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology, a study was presented that revealed wearing flat and flexible shoes lets the feet move effortlessly and naturally. Researchers believed that choosing the right shoes significantly helps individuals with knee osteoarthritis attain improvement in pain and function. It was also believed to help improve the quality of their life.
It was also found that individuals who wore flexible-soled or mobility shoes for 48 weeks appeared to experience a reduced need to exert force on their knee joints. According to the Arthritis Foundation, cartilage breakdown is often the cause of osteoarthritis. The cartilage is responsible for cushioning the joints. When breakdown takes place, it typically leads to friction between bones. This causes sufferers a loss of joint movement, stiffness and pain.
In the United States, there is an estimated number of 27 million people who are suffering from osteoarthritis. The joints in the knee are believed to be most affected by the condition. Individuals with knee osteoarthritis are often susceptible to medical and lateral compartment osteoarthritis.
The Rush University Medical Center's associate professor of medicine and rheumatologist, Najia Shakoor, M.D., believes that individuals with knee osteoarthritis should make sure that they use lightweight, flexible shoes more than the cushioned ones. In a study led by Dr. Shakoor, it was found that the subjects who wore mobility shoes were twice as likely to have experienced improvements and a reduction in the weight of their knees than the control group.
Today, there are many individuals who suffer from knee osteoarthritis who take advantage of the therapeutic benefits offered by natural alternatives, such as glucosamine supplements. Glucosamine is widely believed to be a great natural remedy for individuals who suffer from arthritic conditions such as knee osteoarthritis (amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/dp/B00DUMO9X4/).
