Arthritis and osteoarthritis are major causes of knee pain and inflammation (unless we're talking about trauma, of course).
Unfortunately, chondroprotectors, or drugs based on NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), as well as surgical interventions - fluid injection, curettage, arthroscopy - do not provide the necessary therapeutic effect.
All traditional methods of treating arthritis and dry joints aim to reduce pain, reduce edema, but do not eliminate the root cause of the disease, do not stop inflammation and deform (destroy) joint cartilage.
How to really cure arthritis and osteoarthritis of the knee?
Kinesitherapy for knee arthritis
Knee arthritis is damage (inflammation) of the surrounding soft tissue of a joint, including muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Due to swelling of the soft tissues and pain in the knee, the joint's range of motion is limited.
Knee arthritis is not only associated with arthritis but also has diagnoses such as knee bursitis, bursitis, meniscal injury, medial meniscus damage, meniscal keratosis, and ligamentous keratosis.
To reduce inflammation in the joints with all these diaznose, doctors increasingly use peristaltic bag drainage - pumping fluid from the joint (using a syringe through the cavity of the joint space and the peristaltic sacs), then inject hormones and antibiotics.
As a result of such a process of "therapeutic" dystrophy develops, which leads to pathological restructuring of the bones and cartilage of the joint, which leads to degenerative changes in the ligaments of the joint! Not to mention that after the procedure, a person constantly has a dull pain in the knee, hindering movement.
And the most important thing! Joint drainage only temporarily reduces swelling, but does not eliminate the cause of the inflammation.
What causes arthritis?
The question is where the joint pain, inflammation comes from, for example, the joint is intact, not infected or traumatized (we'll talk about trauma a bit below) that the knee is still intact. pain and swelling?
Inflammation, as a physiological reaction, is a violation of the nutritive - nutritive properties of the joint tissues, blood circulation and microcirculation in the joints, as a result of which the joint space undergoes pathological remodeling and narrowingIn turn, the joint becomes swollen, which limits its mobility.
There is only one way to get rid of the swelling and the accompanying limitation of mobility of the joints - to restore microcirculation in the joints, that is, to eliminate blockages in the soft tissues of the joints: muscles and ligaments.
And this can be done by turning on the physiological "pump" of the knee to feed the joint. In this case, these are the muscles of the thighs and shins. By forcing the large muscles of the thigh to fully work, we will be able to establish the flow of inflammatory fluid out of the joint's synovial sac, restoring the main blood supply to the knee joint.
As a result, it is possible to relieve inflammation and joint swelling without surgery.
Kinetic therapy for knee arthritis can be initiated even if there is severe swelling and pain. The basis of treatment is decompression exercises on medical equipment and special rehabilitation aimed at restoring the lymphatic drainage system, blood circulation and microcirculation of the joints. Also adhere to the principle of consistency and incremental. You need to be patient. Soon you will feel noticeable improvements - the pain, swelling will go away, the knee will begin to bend much better.
Question and answer
Important questions may arise in patients with arthritis and osteoarthritis who are accustomed to traditional treatments.
- How to move, perform exercises on the simulator to relieve pain, inflammation and stiffness?
- Will movement harm already aching joints? It is not without reason that official medicine recommends immobilization for osteoarthritis and arthritis, corsets, and knee pads for gonarthrosis (joint deformity) and arthritis of the knee.
- What to do if I have a fast heart rate, high blood pressure (diabetes, asthma, etc. ). . .
Kinesiteraia's motto is: "The right movement heals, the wrong one dies". Joint treatment with kinesitherapy is performed only in a specialized center with the help of special rehabilitation equipment - a multifunctional decompression simulator of anti-gravity impact, which allows loading ofdeep musculoskeletal without axial load on joints and spine. This is a safe technique that has practically no contraindications.
An individual program is developed for each person, a set of motor exercises after consultation with the doctor of the Kinesitherapy Center - a thorough functional examination and diagnosis of the condition of the musculoskeletal system.
In the first time, 4-6 days can be more and more pain in the knee joint, even swelling. But all of this has to do with the adaptations of the organism. You will soon feel a noticeable improvement. Repeated cycles of muscle tension and relaxation strengthen the ligamentous apparatus and improve blood flow to the affected joint.
The method of kinesitherapy allows not only to stop the course of the disease, but also to completely restore the working capacity of the affected joint in a relatively short time. And to make the initial process smoother, complementary methods of kinesitherapy are recommended - cryotherapy and autoplasma, which are today the most effective alternatives to hormonal drugs and surgery. knee.
Knee joint treatment
Osteoarthritis of the knee (gonarthrosis) is a violation of the integrity of the joint, deformation of the joint surface, deterioration and decrease in the thickness of the articular cartilage.
Osteoarthritis, like arthritis, can be accompanied by inflammation. In turn, arthritis, if left untreated, leads to arthritis. Why? In arthritis, the synovial membrane of the joint is affected initially - a thin membrane of connective tissue that helps create the joint line from within. Prolonged inflammation of this membrane can lead to cartilage destruction. And here's the dryness of the joints.
The principles of treating arthritis and arthritis are very similar. The similarity is due to the common causes of the onset of the disease - these are two stages in the development of the degenerative process with elements of tissue dystrophy.
Osteoarthritis occurs because the joints are malnourished, over time the joints begin to dry out and deform. Malnutrition of the joints (dystrophy), in turn, occurs due to a sharp decrease in microcirculation, that is, the number of capillaries that feed the joints, the number of which depends on the number of muscles through which these capillaries pass.
All the nutrients needed by the joints are supplied by the blood, which circulates through the vessels. The vessels are located in the muscles and ligaments, so the muscle in addition to the motor function also has the role of pumping blood. They pump a huge amount of blood, provide nutrients to the knee joints, and smooth metabolism. If the blood pumping muscle is fully supplied and the microcirculation is good, the new knee joint will be healthy. If the microcirculation is disturbed due to reduced muscle activity due to atrophy, the joints are on a diet and the slow aging process begins.
Therefore, the nutrition of the knee joint and articular cartilage, its blood supply and microcirculation are directly dependent on the activity of the muscles, ligaments and tendons of this joint.
Therefore, in the treatment of arthrosis (deformed gonarthrosis), the main task of kinesitherapy is to get the "pumps" or "pumps" of the knee to work: the large muscles of the thigh and lower leg, which areblood supply. and nutrition for the knee joint. Muscle loads stimulate new capillary formation in these muscles, increasing the adaptability of muscle tissue.
In the treatment of joint diseases, special attention should be paid to the biceps and thighs. This is the back of the thigh, very little used in daily life. But the main nerve vascular highways of the lower extremities pass through it - the sciatic nerve, arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels. This group of muscles actually plays an important role in transporting blood and lymph to the upper part of the body, and thus to the joints.
Undeveloped muscles will be short and stiff. It has a weak network of blood vessels due to its small number of muscle fibers and its inability to carry large amounts of blood through the body on its own. Strong, elastic and long muscles are essential for maintaining joints and spine.
It is difficult to disclose all the principles of kinesitherapy in one article, we only give a few examples for clarity.
Knee injury. Injury to the meniscus and ligaments of the knee. What can be done without surgery?
Knee injuries are common and not limited to athletes. The knee joint is subject to a lot of stress in everyday life, no matter what we do. In case of rupture (damage) of the meniscus or ligaments of the knee joint, as a rule, a surgery is prescribed - complex and expensive. But there are also alternatives. This is autoplasma therapy, active rehabilitation by special equipment, exercise therapy, joint gymnastics, physiotherapy and therapeutic massage.
Autoplasma therapy for joint treatment
Autoplasma therapy is most effective for arthritis, pain, edema, arthritis and dry knees, arthritis of hands, fingers, swollen joints, rheumatoid arthritis. A modern and safe procedure that allows you to activate the natural repair mechanisms of articular cartilage, synovial fluid, ligaments, tendons, muscles and bone tissue. At the same time, improve nutrition for joint cartilage and enhance joint strength. As a rule, after several sessions, significant changes occur: joint pain, inflammation and swelling disappear, and joint mobility is restored.
