1, Treatment of knee spur
When there is a bone spur on the knee, walking will be very painful. So what are the methods to treat the bone spur on the knee? Let's take a look!
1, plaster therapy
Plaster is a wonderful flower of traditional Chinese medicine. In ancient times, there were "the theory of external treatment is the theory of internal treatment, and the medicine of external treatment is the medicine of internal treatment, respectively, ear" and "Plaster can cure diseases, without special decoction, if used correctly, its sound should stand". Because the plaster has a high consistency, it has a series of advantages, such as high content of active ingredients, slow precipitation speed, lasting effect, practical local curative effect and so on.
For hyperosteogeny and osteoarthritis of hip joint, if arthritis Qufengkang ointment is applied in time, its effective components can penetrate into the skin in time, resulting in the effects of promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, removing blood stasis and dredging collaterals, inducing resuscitation, dispelling wind and dispelling cold. By regulating the balance of yin and yang through meridian tropism, drugs can penetrate into the epidermis, stimulate nerve endings, promote local blood microcirculation, enhance the body's resistance, improve physical fitness, fundamentally and comprehensively exert the curative effect on the characteristics of hyperosteogeny, improve the nutrition of tissues around the focus, and play a role in repairing.
2. Direct current drug iontophoresis
This treatment can give full play to the role of drugs, but because the introduced drugs are liquid, they are easy to volatilize and the drug effect cannot last long.
3, ultraviolet therapy
Its therapeutic effects mainly include sterilization, anti-inflammation, analgesia, promoting wound healing, desensitization, promoting the formation of vitamin D3, and mediating immune function.
4, massage and traction
It is suitable for hyperosteogeny of cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra and osteoarthritis of hip joint. Massage and traction rely entirely on external forces, ignoring local treatment to adjust the whole body. Therefore, it can only play a temporary role in relieving pain, but can not achieve the purpose of treatment.
Acupuncture can dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and relieve pain. It can eliminate local edema and inflammation, but acupuncture can only play an auxiliary role in hyperosteogeny.
6. Western medicine treatment
If you feel pain, you can take some antipyretic and analgesic drugs; Those who are numb can choose B vitamins; Patients with joint swelling and hydrops can be treated by local extraction of hydrops or local sealing. However, practice has proved that these treatment methods are not ideal, but only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and the disease is easy to recur.
7, Chinese medicine treatment
Treatment of bone spur by TCM is one of the most common methods, and its main advantage is that it can fundamentally treat bone spur.
8, surgical treatment
Surgical treatment is not the first choice for hyperosteogeny. When conservative treatment is ineffective and the condition is serious, which seriously affects the life of patients, surgical treatment can be considered.
2. How to prevent the generation of bone spurs?
The first trick: lose weight
Overweight will accelerate the wear of articular cartilage, make the stress on articular cartilage uneven, and cause hyperosteogeny. So losing weight can reduce the formation of hyperosteogeny.
The second measure: exercise
Moderate physical exercise can improve joint function, such as walking, cycling or swimming, which can improve patients' cardiopulmonary function, sugar and fat metabolism, and enhance endurance and physical fitness. For patients with severe pain, they can only contract muscle strength without moving joints at first, and gradually increase the range of motion. First, choose the form of no load, and then do weight-bearing exercise after the pain basically disappears. During this period, do not climb mountains, stairs, squat pits, Tai Ji Chuan, dance and other activities.
The third measure: improve your diet.
You can eat more foods rich in antioxidants, such as sweet potato, corn, asparagus, cauliflower, eggplant, beet, shepherd's purse, kohlrabi, potato, Flammulina velutipes, and foods rich in bioflavonoids, such as wild rose fruit, buckwheat leaves, citrus fruits, berries, broccoli, cherries, grapes, papaya, cantaloupe and plums.
Summary: after reading the introduction of the above small series, everyone will be clear! You should pay more attention to your life. You should keep good living habits and pay attention to the combination of work and rest!
