How to deal with knee arthritis, knee pain, effusion and long bone spur in middle-aged and elderly people?

Physical therapy is short for physical therapy. It applies natural and artificial physical factors such as sound, light, electricity, heat and magnetism to the human body to achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases. [4]

Second, direct current drug iontophoresis:

In China, the hyperthermia instrument mainly introduces drugs, and the liquid drug ions are mainly treated by the medium-frequency current generated by the machine and the heat generated synchronously. Liquid drug ions pass through the pores of sweat gland ducts of skin, through the gaps between subcutaneous mucosa and epithelial cells, and directly enter the affected bone tissue, reaching the affected area. Its physiological treatment function not only combines the two modes of electricity and heat in physical therapy, but also gives better play to the effect of drug treatment, with higher treatment efficiency and no irritation to the stomach. Patients are more acceptable. Direct current drug iontophoresis gives full play to the role of drugs and has high efficiency. The treatment is convenient and can be used as a long-term treatment choice for family and outpatient service.

Third, massage and traction:

Massage helps to improve local blood circulation and has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects; Traction can reduce the compression of bone spurs on local nerves and tissues and temporarily relieve pain. It is suitable for hyperosteogeny of cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra. Massage and traction rely entirely on external forces, ignoring local treatment to adjust the whole body. Therefore, it can only play a temporary role in relieving pain, but can not achieve the purpose of treatment.

Fourth, acupuncture:

Acupuncture can dredge meridians, promote blood circulation and relieve pain. It can eliminate local edema and inflammation, but acupuncture can only play an auxiliary role in hyperosteogeny. [5]

Five, drug therapy:

Generally speaking, most drug treatments are taking painkillers to relieve the pain caused by hyperosteogeny of the knee joint. However, due to the deep bone layer, oral drugs enter the blood circulation through the stomach and eventually reach the affected area, which greatly reduces the efficiency. Moreover, this is a temporary solution, not a permanent cure, and it cannot fundamentally prevent bone from continuing to proliferate.

Six, surgical resection:

This is a traditional method to treat hyperosteogeny, that is, the hyperplastic bone is removed by surgery, and the degenerative changes over time will still cause the hyperplastic bone to continue to grow, so this is not a completely cured method. [6]
