As we age, middle-aged and elderly people face more and more habits and problems with osteoporosis, osteophytes, arthritis and other problems. This all plague the middle-aged and elderly, then the treatment of knee pain knot is very important, summarized in five main areas. Physiotherapy The role of physiotherapy is to reduce inflammation, swelling, promote blood circulation, promote the absorption of inflammation, improve the function of the knee joint, the use of physiotherapy can be gentle and effective to ease the pain and stiffness of the knee joint. Conventional physical therapy methods include ultrashort wave, microwave, iontophoresis, red light irradiation, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). The newly applied shock wave pain treatment method is very popular among elderly people because it has an immediate and definite effect on knee pain, especially old knee soft tissue injury. It is important to remind elderly people not to use hot compresses to reduce swelling and pain during acute knee attacks, especially when the knee is red and swollen and hot.
The topical application can choose pain relief creams or acupuncture point compresses, also can use Fotalin emulsion or safflower oil, orthopedic water, etc. Second, drug therapy The application of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs during the acute attack period can relieve pain and reduce symptoms, although the development of the disease can not be suspended.
However, such drugs can easily stimulate the gastrointestinal tract to cause complications and damage to kidney function, so such drugs should be taken after meals and under the guidance of a doctor; vitamin B1, vitamin C, vitamin E, supplementation, etc. can also be added.
Calcium, etc., and antibiotic treatment can also be given during the acute inflammation period. The disease is thought to be caused by weak vital energy, external cold and dampness, or injury caused by bruising, which leads to stagnation of qi and blood, and the internal growth of phlegm and dampness, which is injected into muscles and joints. Under the guidance of Chinese medicine physician, acupuncture and massage, Chinese medicine fumigation, Chinese medicine external application, Chinese medicine internal consumption and other methods of both internal and external treatment plus functional exercise can be comprehensive treatment. Blocking therapy is the injection of a mixture of local anesthetics, neurotrophic drugs, and sometimes a small amount of hormones into the nerve trunk or ganglion around the nerve tissue.
In this way, not only can nerve blocks be applied to the painful points around the knee joint, but also joint cavity aspiration and intra-articular injection can be performed separately or simultaneously. The normal movement of the joint depends on the lubrication of the joint fluid in the joint cavity.
As mentioned above, the secretion of joint mucus decreases in the elderly,
Intra-articular injections are like oiling a running machine by adding sodium vitrate to the aging joint cavity. Sodium vitreous acid, also known as sodium hyaluronate, is the main component of joint mucus, and is injected into the joint cavity with high molecular weight, high concentration, and high viscoelasticity.
The injection of high molecular weight, high concentration and high viscoelasticity of sodium vitreous acid into the joint cavity can significantly improve the inflammatory response of tissues, enhance the viscosity and lubricating function of joint fluid, protect joint cartilage, promote the healing and regeneration of joint cartilage, relieve pain and increase joint mobility. Different surgical methods are used depending on the condition, such as arthroscopic or open bone removal, free body removal, meniscectomy, joint cleaning, joint fusion and artificial knee replacement. I believe that you have a certain understanding of the treatment methods for joint pain. In addition to these treatments, middle-aged and elderly people should also pay attention to nutrition in their daily life to reduce the disease of the knee joint. If the pain is severe, you should go to the hospital.
