Posterior cuts should be considered for knee pain that prevents squatting

Middle-aged and elderly people, knee joint degeneration, the clinical manifestations of the knee joint swelling, pain, walking difficulties, walking up and down the stairs, standing difficult to squat, squatting can not stand up, the patient is very painful. Although the disease progresses slowly and each patient’s performance is not entirely the same, the final outcome is the same – loss of walking function of the knee joint. Degenerative joint degeneration of the knee, also known as osteoarthritis of the knee, is one of the most common chronic, progressive joint diseases of middle-aged and elderly people, and acupuncture is quite effective in treating this disease. However, the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee is greatly reduced due to the programmed selection of acupuncture points and prescriptions according to textbooks. The common acupuncture points are: internal and external knee eye, Liangqiu, Blood Sea, Crane’s Head, or Yanglingquan and Foot Sanli. However, in application, the actual effectiveness is not limited to these points. Knee osteoarthritis disease, in the location of its lesions have obvious pressure pain, bone joint activity is coordinated movement by many muscle groups. There are a lot of tendon attachment points near the knee joint, i.e., the starting and ending points, which are the best reference positions for acupuncture clinic to find the pressure pain and select the acupuncture points. In osteoarthritis of the knee, it is due to changes in the bony tissues, but its pain and impaired movement are often due to the proliferation of the bony tissues, which changes the tension of the tendons. Therefore, loosening the corresponding reaction points will have an immediate effect. From the theory of meridian tendon, the foot of the six meridian tendon knots the most intensive place is near the knee joint, its nodes in addition to some fixed points can be referred to in the selection of acupuncture points, most of the human body to rely on the body surface signs to look for pressure pain, the choice of the knee joint pain point is roughly this way, patellar edge of the upper edge of the probe pressure, focusing on the patellar edge of the upper edge of the upper 1 centimeters around the (or the sea of blood and its surroundings), patellar upper edge of the upper edge of the upper 1 centimeters around the (or the Liangqiu and its surrounding), patellar ligament, the patellar ligament, the tendons, the tendons and its surroundings. If there is difficulty in flexing the knee, so much pain that it is impossible to squat, or if there is some obstruction to squatting, we should consider intervening from the posterior path to see if there is any compression pain above and below the N of the knee in the back. Most of the pressure pain in the N transverse stripe on both sides of the two tendons above and below the one centimeter, where the pressure to explore the selection of acupuncture points, you will definitely make you see the effect that has never been. For the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee, of course, the small needle is the most effective, followed by the round sharp needle. If there is no these two conditions, acupuncture will also have good results, however, it should be noted that the needle thickness can not be less than 0.3 mm in diameter, and, acupuncture on the pain point is best to use multiple needles, two to three needles on each point. For those patients who squat down and can not stand up, may wish to regularly practice horse stance, practiced for a period of time, you will see the effect.
