How to treat knee wear? These methods are effective quickly

People who engage in heavy physical activities or strenuous exercise for a long time are prone to wear and tear of the knee cartilage, which seriously affects their daily activities. In this case, you can choose to take painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, or you can perform acupuncture, apply plasters, etc., to achieve the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, relaxing muscles and tendons; if the effect is not very good, you can choose minimally invasive surgery.

1. Treatment of knee joint wear

Currently, the conventional treatments for knee cartilage wear are analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs, acupuncture, plasters, etc. These treatments can reduce swelling and relieve pain, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, relax meridians and dredge collaterals, relieve symptoms of joint stiffness, pain, and swelling, and restore knee joint movement. However, it should be noted that although these treatments can temporarily relieve adverse symptoms and achieve better treatment results, they cannot prevent the disease from worsening. Once the disease becomes more serious, this treatment will not achieve satisfactory results. For patients with more serious conditions, knee arthroscopy is the best treatment for senile degenerative knee arthritis. This therapy allows a camera and surgical instruments to be inserted into the joint through a small hole of 5-10 mm, and precise surgery is performed under the arthroscopy. Due to the short operation time and small incision, the patient has basically no pain during the operation and recovers quickly. At present, the more common treatments for joint degeneration mainly include: rest and recuperation, physical therapy, drug therapy, and surgical treatment, etc. If the joint degeneration is mild, it can be relieved by rest and physical therapy. Some patients with joint degeneration experience severe pain. In this case, they may need to follow the doctor's advice and use common medicines such as ibuprofen, glucosamine, or inject sodium hyaluronate. If joint degeneration worsens further, surgical treatment such as arthroscopy, minimally invasive surgery, or even artificial joint replacement may be required. However, these treatments for joint degeneration either have serious side effects or require high financial investment, which are issues that patients must consider. From another perspective, these treatments cannot fundamentally solve the root cause of joint degeneration - cartilage wear. As a result, medical research on joint degeneration has gradually deepened. Among them, there have been major breakthroughs in the treatment of joint degeneration.

2. Scientific prevention of knee joint wear

1. Pay attention to your walking and working posture, and do not twist your body while walking or working. Do not wear high heels when walking long distances. Wear thick-soled, elastic, soft-soled shoes to reduce the impact on the knee joints and avoid wear and tear on the knee joints.

2. Try to avoid obesity to prevent adding burden to the knee joints. Once you are overweight, you should actively lose weight and control your weight.

3. In terms of diet, you should eat more foods containing protein, calcium, collagen, and isoflavones, such as milk, dairy products, soybeans, soy products, eggs, fish, shrimp, kelp, black fungus, chicken feet, pig's trotters, lamb legs, beef tendons, and sawtooth shark cartilage powder. These can not only supplement protein and calcium to prevent osteoporosis, but also grow cartilage and joint lubricants, and supplement estrogen to enable bones and joints to better metabolize calcium and reduce the symptoms of knee arthritis.
