Overview
Osteoarthritis of the knee, the most common knee problem, is briefly discussed.
From the perspective of manual treatment,
The most common characteristics are,
It means that very often the two bones that make up the knee joint (the upper tibia and lower femur) have become rigid.
Our technique of releasing and softening this bone stiffness has a high rate of significant results.
Of course, there are times when slightly distant points, such as the tarsal bones, are involved, so adjustments are made while adjusting the body as a whole.
Knee and hip problems are also very easy to identify as indicators of treatment, so they can be guided relatively clearly when extending the maintenance period.

Osteoarthritis of the knee that made going down stairs painful
*From Google Reviews
I was seen for "osteoarthritis of the knee. The direct cause seemed to be a sudden weight gain, and the orthopedic surgeon said that the deformity was not so severe, but it became painful to go down the stairs, and sometimes I could not sleep at night because of the pain. During the 10 days after the visit, the situation changed in many ways, and by the 10th day, she was able to go down the stairs.
I received maintenance and look forward to future improvement. I am from far away and would like to see the doctor again in a few months.

Osteoarthritis of the knee that was also bone spurs and large and swollen
-Symptoms/Problems
He had osteoarthritis of the knee for some time, including the formation of bone spurs.
One day the pain in the right knee becomes more severe, swollen greatly, and difficult to bend, and two months pass.
After seeing a doctor, she received 10 hyaluronic acid injections and 9 drainage injections within 2 months, but the swelling and pain did not go down at all.
He said he was in no condition to walk to the hospital, so we visited him at his home to perform the treatment.
-Findings
Pain becomes severe when the knee begins to bend and the angle of internal flexion is close to 120°; it does not bend to 90°.
As soon as the patient begins to bend, whether on his own or with other movements, he is in pain, and at the same time the surrounding muscles react with hypertonia.
Hindered in walking.
There is pain when standing up as well as when lying on the back.
-The treatment and its changes...
In the first treatment,
Sacrum to lower lumbar spine
Right iliac artery
Part of the right metatarsal bone
Part of the right tibial plateau
and others were released.
The most intense stiffness was in the upper right tibia in the plateau area of the bony part of the plateau area, where the greatest point of the procedure required the most treatment time.
As a result, the pain and swelling were reduced by half the next day, the pain was no longer present up to about 90° in other motion flexion, and there was no muscle overstrain during knee flexion, which was present the previous time.
Thereafter, with continued weekly maintenance, the initial swelling completely subsided and the patient had no difficulty with daily activities.
-Explanation...
In this instance, we can assume that the tibia bone itself had become so rigid that the surrounding circulation was blocked, preventing sufficient blood and lymphatic flow to restore inflammation, thus interfering with its ability to heal.
