How should women with knee bone spurs be treated?

Bone spurs are a common physical disease in real life. Bone spurs are not only very harmful to physical health, but also easily lead to some bone complications. Women are also prone to bone spurs.

Four-step treatment

When squatting, stand up straight, with your hands hanging naturally or on your waist, your feet and knees facing forward, and your feet about 10 cm apart. Bend down from the knees into a small squat. You need to squat steadily in a static position for about 10 to 30 minutes. Do this once every morning and evening. This is a comprehensive exercise for the knees, which can effectively improve the knee strength of middle-aged and elderly people, and has a very good therapeutic and rehabilitation effect on knee joint diseases in middle-aged and elderly people. When the elderly are doing static squats, they should lean their backs against the wall or hold on to tables and chairs with both hands to avoid falling.

Stand up straight with your arms hanging naturally, your feet and knees facing forward, and your feet about 10 cm apart. Keep the knee joint straight and still, and tighten the muscles on the front of the thigh (quadriceps femoris). Exert force for 6-10 seconds, rest for 10 seconds, then exert force for 6-10 seconds again, rest for 10 seconds, and do this contraction training 20-30 times. 3-4 times a day. This progressive resistance training can increase muscle strength. Patients tie elastic resistance bands on their ankle joints to resist the force of active knee extension, and gradually increase the resistance to gradually increase the strength of the quadriceps knee extension. When the elderly do the thigh stretch exercise, they should lean their backs against the wall or hold on to tables and chairs with both hands to avoid falling.

By pinching and massaging the meridian points on the legs and feet, you can achieve the purpose of promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians. There are mainly four acupoints: inner knee point, outer knee point, Weizhong point and Yingu point. The knee eye points are located on both sides of the knee joint. Tighten your lower limbs and touch the bottom of the patella with your hand. You will find two small pits, the outer one is shaped like a calf's nostril and is called the outer knee eye point, and the inner one is called the inner knee eye point. It is recorded in acupuncture books that it can cure knee pain, cold numbness and numbness. Weizhong point is one of the more important acupuncture points for treating osteoarthritis of the knee. Weizhong is the He point of the Taiyang Bladder Meridian, located in the central part of the popliteal fossa on the posterior side of the knee joint. The "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Zisheng Jing" states that it can "dispel cold and dampness, dredge blood vessels and activate collaterals, and strengthen the waist and knees." Therefore, treatment here can disperse the cold and dampness through the bladder meridian. Yin Gu acupoint is the He point of the kidney meridian and is flush with the Weizhong point, located on the inner side of the popliteal fossa. Yin refers to the inner side and Gu refers to the depression. Yin Gu refers to the gathering place of the essence and subtle Qi of the kidney meridian, which is like the granary of the kidney meridian, providing logistical support for the kidney meridian. Pressing and rubbing this point can invigorate the Qi of the kidney meridian and play a role in nourishing the kidneys and bones.

Massage the above 4 acupoints once a day for 5-6 minutes each time. Do not use too much force, just enough to feel a slight soreness.

Soak 30g of ginger, 30g of zelan, 30g of safflower, 30g of achyranthes bidentata, and 20g of trifoliate amniotic fluid in water for 30 minutes, dilute with water to about 40 degrees, put in a basin or bucket, soak both lower limbs, and apply the soup with a towel dipped in it on the knees, 1-2 times a day, each time for about 20 minutes. Ginger can dispel cold; Zedoaria can promote diuresis, reduce swelling and reduce friction within the joints; safflower can promote blood circulation, relieve menstruation and relieve pain, and increase local microcirculation in the knee joint; Achyranthes bidentata and Tripterygium wilfordii can disperse blood stasis and dredge meridians to treat symptoms of soreness, weakness and impotence.
