This is the 4719th article of Da Yi Xiao Hu

With the coming of winter, many people will feel the discomfort of joint pain. Knee osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease, which is prone to occur in winter, mainly manifested by pain, swelling and difficulty walking in the knee joint. Traditional non-drug treatments are mostly acupuncture, massage, etc., but the treatment cycle is relatively long. External plasters are also a treatment method, but the climate is dry in winter, and many people are prone to skin allergic reactions. In addition, the weather is cold in winter, and it is inconvenient to put on and take off clothes, which also increases the difficulty of treatment. Faced with this difficult disease to treat, many people are asking if there is a method with short treatment time and good efficacy? Here, I would like to introduce to you a quick-acting treatment method for knee osteoarthritis-acupuncture mirror.

The acupotomology combines traditional acupotomy technology with modern laparoscopic technology. Performing acupotomy under laparoscopy is equivalent to adding eyes to acupotomy, which can achieve precise acupotomy treatment under direct vision. Because the acupotomy is relatively thin, the operating channel during acupotomy with acupotomology is less than 4 mm, which is slightly larger than the traditional acupotomy blade. It is a real "keyhole" ultra-minimally invasive surgery, so the damage is relatively small. Due to the small damage and light pain, it can be completed under local anesthesia. In addition, the acupotomy is performed under a microscope, which can be accurate and thorough. The general treatment operation can be completed in about 15 minutes, and normal activities can be resumed 2 hours after the treatment, which can quickly help patients relieve joint pain and restore walking function.

In winter, the temperature is low, which is more likely to cause joint pain. At this time, if the patient has symptoms of knee osteoarthritis, acupotomy can be considered for treatment. Compared with traditional surgery, acupotomy has the advantages of small wounds and low risks, which reduces damage to normal tissues. Without destroying the normal structure of the tissue, it achieves "precise and minimally invasive release treatment under the microscope; rapid removal of inflammatory factors that cause pain; addition of sodium hyaluronate lubricant" and other comprehensive treatments that are completed at one time. Generally, only one treatment is needed to relieve the pain, swelling and other discomforts of the knee joint, so it has been favored by more and more patients with knee osteoarthritis.

It should be noted that acupotomy for treating knee osteoarthritis is suitable for patients with early and mid-stage knee osteoarthritis. And maintenance is required after surgery to maintain the effect of acupotomy. Especially in the cold winter, keeping warm is the first priority. At the same time, you can wear suitable shoes and avoid walking and standing for a long time. You can also do moderate exercise, such as short walks, yoga, etc., to maintain the flexibility and range of motion of the knee joint.

In short, acupotomology is a safe and fast-acting treatment for knee osteoarthritis. It is a good treatment option for patients with knee osteoarthritis, which is prone to winter attacks. When patients experience symptoms of knee osteoarthritis such as knee swelling and pain, they should seek medical attention in time and choose an appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of a doctor.
