How should patella arthritis be treated

summary

Arthritis is a common disease, mostly occurs in the elderly. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "wind, cold and dampness are mixed together to form arthralgia". It can be seen that the prevention and treatment of the disease should start with warming the lung and strengthening the spleen, expelling wind and removing dampness, so as to enhance the healthy qi of human body and resist the invasion of wind, cold and dampness. In order to prevent this situation, I'd like to introduce how to treat patellar arthritis.

How should patella arthritis be treated

First: to protect the joint: first of all, let the patients have some understanding of the disease, physical exercise should be carried out step by step to prevent excessive joint movement and weight bearing, and avoid mechanical injury of the joint. If it is serious, it should be fixed with brake or plaster to prevent deformity. Reduce weight and use handlebars and canes to reduce the load on the affected joints. Those related to occupation should change jobs. Exercise related muscle groups can maintain and improve joint activity, so as to enhance joint stability.

Second: physical therapy: hyperthermia, hydrotherapy, infrared, ultrashort wave, electrical stimulation can enhance local blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, relieve pain and other symptoms. Traction therapy has a good effect on cervical spondylosis patients with nerve root type, which can relax muscles, relieve pain, and prevent the adjacent tissues of nerve root from forming adhesion, but it should be carried out under the guidance of specialists.

Third: surgical and arthroscopic treatment. According to the condition of the disease, arthroscopic joint irrigation, osteochondral transplantation, chondrocyte or mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, and severe joint deformity can be performed by osteotomy, joint destruction, and joint replacement can be performed for severe dysfunction.

Therefore, I was asked to stop running immediately, which shows that patients with osteoarthritis should reduce strenuous exercise and drink more big bone soup, which is more conducive to the treatment of osteoarthritis.
