Knee Joint Pain
Avoid Knee Joint Replacement Surgery
If you suffer from
knee pain, you should know that recent studies
support the relief of osteoarthritis symptoms via acupuncture. In fact, in one
Scandinavian study, 25% of patients cancelled their
plans for knee surgery after they received acupuncture treatments.
Acupuncture, the
ancient Chinese practice of inserting needles into the skin in order to regulate and balance the flow of “chi” (life force) throughout the body, has
been gaining increasing acceptance internationally as an effective treatment
for a broad range of conditions, including knee pain.
Acupuncture is painless.
It will likely take many sessions before
you see a true, lasting difference. The reduction of pain is its best use.
During the past
year I’ve seen several patients after total joint replacement surgery.
Acupuncture helped relieve pain and assisted their progress
towards regaining strength and range of motion through better performance
during physical therapy sessions. There were no cases of infections and the
scars healed well.
A study was conducted by Raj K. Sinha, Deidre Braun, and Robert Murphy and
published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery – British Volume, Vol 90-B,
Issue SUPP_I, 184.
They concluded that acupuncture indeed
“reduced narcotic usage and improve physical therapy after total joint replacement.”

More studies need to be done on this subject,
but my experience has been so positive that I encourage those needing joint
replacement to seek treatments from a licensed acupuncturist for help with pain
relief and optimal healing.
The new study says Acupuncture may be a low-cost alternative — not to mention a
non-invasive one — to knee surgery. It comprised 90 patients (average age: 71)
who had group acupuncture in 2008. Their progress was tracked for two years.
Surgery can be
effective, yet it is far from perfect. It’s estimated that one in seven
patients feel severe pain return years later.
Non-Operative Treatment Options
Fortunately, most
knee problems can be treated without surgery. However, with or without surgery,
the treatment and the long-term results are highly dependent on the underlying
condition. That is, a logical and scientifically based treatment cannot be
applied as a “one treatment fits all” approach. The treatment must be tailored
to the specific patient. The key for successful non-operative (and operative)
treatment is first a sound anatomically based diagnosis and then co-development
of a comprehensive program of treatment. The American Academy of Orthopedic
Surgeons recommends:
Providing patient education and support
Encouraging weight loss
Protecting and
unloading painful joints (such as with knee unloaded braces, wedge insoles,
canes, and joint protection education)
Restoring strength and flexibility
Instituting local
pain management (heat, cold, and topical analgesics).
joint pain-osteoarthritis, which is also known as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease. Osteoarthritis is one of the most
common forms of arthritis usually occurring after middle-age. It is a
group of mechanical abnormalities that involve degradation of joints, cartilage
as well as sub-chondral bone including articular movements. Many therapies has
been introduced yet now for Knee

to be more effective than medications in treating osteoarthritis of the knee.
