Can Chinese medicine treat knee pain?

Chinese medicine can be used to treat functional knee pain, but surgery is needed for organic injuries. Chinese medicine can be utilized in the treatment of knee pain, but it is generally applicable to functional injuries, i.e., there is no clear fracture or other organic pathology, which causes knee pain, at which time the combination of Chinese medicine can treat the pain in a more comprehensive way, thus achieving better results. For example, the use of Jianbu Tang and other drugs to promote the functional recovery of the lower limbs, combined with acupuncture and massage therapy, stimulation of acupoints such as the foot Sanli and Yanglingquan, can achieve good results. However, if the knee pain is caused by structural or organic injuries such as patella fracture, small joint space, etc., it is not suitable for the use of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is necessary to consult a doctor in time, to carry out X-ray or CT, MRI and other examinations, to clarify the damage, so as to formulate targeted surgical programs, which can be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment during postoperative rehabilitation. It is necessary to follow the doctor’s prescription for medication.
