Arthritis and osteoarthritis are the leading causes of pain and inflammation of the knee joint (unless, of course, we are talking about trauma).
Unfortunately, neither chondroprotectors, nor nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), nor surgical interventions - fluid removal, abrasion, arthroscopy - provide the required therapeutic effect.
All traditional methods of treatment of arthritis and osteoarthritis are aimed at relieving pain, swelling, but they do not exclude the root cause of the disease, do not stop the inflammation and deformation (destruction) of articular cartilage.
How To Truly Cure Arthritis And Osteoarthritis Of The Knee Joint?
Kinesitherapy for knee arthritis
Knee arthritis is a lesion (inflammation) of the soft tissue surrounding the joint that includes muscles, tendons, and tendons. Due to soft tissue swelling and knee pain, the range of motion in the joint is limited.
Inflammation of the knee joint is associated not only with arthritis, but also with diagnoses such as knee synovitis, bursitis, tendon chondromalacia, medial meniscus injury, meniscus, yoga.
To alleviate inflammation in the joint with this diagnosis, doctors are increasingly using a periarticular sac for drainage - pumping fluid from the joint (using a syringe that penetrates the joint space and periarticular sacs), followed by an injection of hormones and antibiotics.
As a result of such "treatment" dystrophic processes develop, which leads to pathological restructuring of bone and joint cartilage, degenerative changes in the joints! Not to mention the fact that after the procedure, the person constantly experiences dull pain in the knee, which impedes movement.
And most importantly! Joint drainage only temporarily relieves swelling, but does not rule out the cause of inflammation.
What causes inflammation of the joints?
The question is, where does joint pain, inflammation come from if the joint, for example, is intact, there is no infection or injury (we will talk about injuries a bit below), but the knee still hurts and swells?
Inflammation, as a physiological reaction, is a disorder of trophism - nutrition of joint tissues, blood circulation and microcirculation in the joint, as a result of which the joint space undergoes abnormal reconstruction and narrows, swelling of the joint occurs, which limits its mobility.
There is only one way to limit swelling and joint mobility - to restore microcirculation in the joint, or to remove the swelling in the soft tissues of the joint: muscles and joints.
And this can be done by engaging the physiological "pump" of the knee that feeds the joint. In this case, it is the thigh and lower leg muscles. By forcing the large muscles of the thigh to work fully, we can detect the outflow of inflammatory fluid from the synovial sac of the joint, restore the blood supply to the knee joint as the main sources.
Thus, it is possible to remove the inflammation and swelling of the joint without surgery.
Kinesitherapy for knee arthritis can be started even if there is swelling and strong tingling pain. The basis of treatment is decompression exercises on special medical and rehabilitation devices to restore lymphatic drainage, blood circulation and joint microcirculation. At the same time, the principle of consistency and graduality is observed. You have to be patient. You will soon feel noticeable improvements - the pain, swelling will pass, the knee will start to bend much better.
ხვQuestions and Answers
Important questions that may arise in patients with arthritis and osteoarthritis who are accustomed to traditional methods of treatment.
- How to move, perform exercises on the simulators for pain, inflammation and joint stiffness?
- Will the movement hurt the already painful joints? It is no coincidence that official medicine recommends immobility during arthrosis and arthritis, wearing corsets, wearing gonarthrosis (deforming arthrosis) knee pads, and arthritis of the knee joint.
- What should I do if I have tachycardia, high blood pressure (diabetes, asthma, etc. ). . .
Kinesitheraia's motto: "Right movement cures, wrong movement cures". Kinesitherapy treatment of joints is carried out only in a specialized center using special rehabilitation means - multifunctional decompression trainers with anti-gravity action, which allow to load the deep skeletal muscles on the joints and spine without axial load. This is a safe technique that has virtually no contraindications.
Each is developed an individual program, a set of motor exercises after consultation with the doctor of the Kinesitherapy Center - examination, a thorough functional diagnosis of the condition of the musculoskeletal system.
Initially, within 4-6 days there may be an increase in knee pain and even an increase in swelling. But it all has to do with the adaptation of the organism. You will soon feel a noticeable improvement. A repetitive cycle of muscle tension and relaxation strengthens the yoga apparatus and improves blood flow to the affected joint.
The method of kinesitherapy allows not only to stop the course of the disease, but also in a relatively short time, to completely restore the working capacity of the diseased joint. To facilitate the initial process, additional methods of kinesiotherapy are recommended - cryosauna and autoplasmic therapy, which are the most effective alternatives to hormonal drugs and knee surgery today.
Treatment of knee osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis of the knee joint (gonarthrosis deformity) is a violation of the integrity of the joint, deformation of the articular surfaces, reduction and reduction of the thickness of the articular cartilage.
Osteoarthritis, like arthritis, can be accompanied by inflammation. Arthritis, in turn, causes osteoarthritis in the absence of adequate treatment. Why? Inflammatory arthritis initially affects the synovial membrane of the joint - a thin film of connective tissue that runs through the joint from the inside. Prolonged inflammation of this membrane can lead to cartilage destruction. This is arthrosis.
The principles of treatment of osteoarthritis and arthritis are very similar to each other. The similarity is due to the common causes of disease - these are two stages in the development of the degenerative process with elements of tissue dystrophy.
Osteoarthritis occurs due to improper nutrition of the joint, over time the joint begins to dry out and deform. In turn, malnutrition of the joint (dystrophy) occurs due to a sharp decrease in microcirculation, ie the number of capillaries feeding the joint, the number of which depends on the number of muscles through which these capillaries pass.
All the nutrients needed for the joint are taken up by the blood that circulates in the vessels. Blood vessels are located in muscles and ligaments, so muscles, in addition to motor function, also act as blood pumps. They pump huge amounts of blood, provide nutrition to the knee joint and smooth metabolism. If the pump muscles provide adequate blood flow, good microcirculation, the knee joint is healthy. If the microcirculation is disrupted due to the deterioration of muscle function due to their atrophy, the joint is fed on a starvation diet and its slow aging begins.
Thus, the nutrition of the knee joint and articular cartilage, its blood supply and microcirculation directly depend on the work of the muscles, joints and tendons of this joint.
Therefore, in the treatment of osteoarthritis (deforming gonarthrosis), the main task of kinesitherapy is to work the "pumps" or "pumps" on the knee: the large muscles of the thigh and lower leg that supply blood. And nutrition of the knee joint. Muscle loading stimulates the formation of new capillaries in these muscles, increasing the adaptive capacity of muscle tissue.
In the treatment of osteoarthritis, special attention is paid to the femoral biceps. This is the back of the thigh that is used very little on a daily basis. But it runs through the main neurovascular trunks of the lower extremities - the sciatic nerve, arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels. This group of muscles actually plays an important role in transporting blood and lymph to the upper body and therefore to the joints.
The underdeveloped muscle is short and solid. It has a weak vascular network due to the small number of muscle fibers and is unable to pass large amounts of blood on its own. Strong, elastic and long muscles are essential for maintaining joints and spine.
In one article it is difficult to identify all the principles of treatment of joints using the method of kinesitherapy, for clarity we have given only a few examples.
Knee injury. Injury of the meniscus and knee joints. Is it possible without surgery?
Knee injuries are common and not limited to athletes. The knee joint experiences serious stress in daily life, no matter what we do. In the event of a rupture (injury) of the knee joint meniscus or yoga, surgery is usually prescribed - complicated and expensive. There are also alternative ways. These are autoplasmic therapy, active rehabilitation using special equipment, exercise therapy, joint gymnastics, physiotherapy and therapeutic massage.
Autoplasmic therapy for the treatment of joints
Autoplasmic therapy is most effective in inflammatory diseases of the joints, pain, swelling, arthritis and osteoarthritis of the knee joint, swelling of the hands, fingers, joints, rheumatoid arthritis. A modern and safe procedure allows you to start the natural mechanisms of cartilage repair of joints, synovial fluid, joints, tendons, muscles and bone tissue. At the same time, it has been improved in terms of joint cartilage nutrition and joint strengthening. Typically, after a few sessions, significant changes occur: joint pain, inflammation, and swelling disappear and joint mobility is restored.
