Excessive weight-bearing or joint degeneration are some causes that can lead to discomfort. Whether it is knee pain when climbing stairs, difficulty getting up after sitting for a long time or getting easily injured during exercise, these are all signals that remind us to pay attention to and improve the health of our knee joints. Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner (RCMP) Lam Chi-lan, who works at Gleneagles Healthcare, points out that common knee joint issues include localised pain in one or both knees, swelling, heaviness, numbness, stiffness, and degeneration. Chinese Medicine Practitioners would diagnose the causes of knee pain through detailed consultation, physical examination, and imaging tests (such as X-ray or MRI). Chinese Medicine can treat knee joint problems through internal and external treatments and help dredge meridians and relieve pain: - Herbal Medicine: Knee pain is often caused by the "three endogenous factors" (「三邪」)of "wind, cold, and dampness" (「風、寒、濕」). Herbal remedies typically focus on dispelling wind and dampness, warming cold, as well as relieving pain, such as the commonly used "Pubescent Angelica and Mistletoe Decoction" (「獨活寄生湯」), which alleviates pain.
- Acupuncture: To reduce pain and swelling, and promote the healing of torn meniscus, ligament, soft tissue, etc.
- Manual Therapy: To realign misaligned joints.
Besides choosing an appropriate treatment method, daily self-care is essential. RCMP Lam recommends that the public include regular moderate exercise (e.g., air cycling on the bed), prevent overloading, and weight management in daily life to lessen the strain on the knees. Knee problems often stem from prolonged pressure and chronic injuries. Therefore, patients need to be patient and stay proactive in the treatment and rehabilitation process. Before symptoms get severe, please consult a healthcare professional as early as possible 🔎 Please click here to watch the video (in Cantonese only) of RCMP Lam on Chinese Medicine approaches to knee pain relief. 從中醫角度看膝關節健康與治療 在日常生活中,不同的動作都會用到下肢膝關節,過度負重或關節退化等均都有機會引致不適的情況。無論上落樓梯時出現膝蓋疼痛、久坐後起身困難,或是做運動時感到不適等,都是膝關節發出的求救信號,提醒我們需要關注和改善膝關節的健康狀態。 服務於港怡醫療的註冊中醫師林之蘭指出,常見的膝關節問題包括單膝或兩膝局部疼痛、腫脹、沉重無力、麻木、屈伸不順以及退化性損傷。中醫會透過詳細問診、查體,以及結合影像檢查(如X光或磁力共振)來診斷膝關節疼痛的病因。 中醫治療膝關節問題可從內治及外治兩方面入手,透過治療幫助通絡止痛: - 中藥:膝蓋痛通常是由「風、寒、濕」三邪引起。中藥多用祛風濕、溫經止痛的藥物(如臨床常用的「獨活寄生湯」)緩解疼痛
- 針灸:有助減輕疼痛及消腫,並促進如撕裂的半月板、韌帶等軟組織修復
- 手法治療:針對關節錯位進行復位
預防勝於治療,除了選擇合適的治療方案,日常保健對膝蓋健康也至關重要。林醫師建議大眾在日常生活中定期進行適量運動,强化大腿肌肉以保護膝關節(如躺在床上進行「凌空踩單車」動作),同時避免過度負重 ; 並控制體重以減輕膝關節負擔。 膝關節問題多由慢性勞損累積而成,因此患者在治療與康復過程中需要保持耐性,積極治療。在出現嚴重症狀前,應及早求醫。 🔎請按此觀看註冊中醫林之蘭醫師有關舒緩膝關節疼痛及中醫治療的分享。 | | | Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong 港怡醫院 Learn about the latest information from Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong 了解本院最新資訊 Website 網站: https://gleneagles.hk/ Centre for Health Protection 衞生防護中心 Provide the latest epidemic information and guidelines in Hong Kong 提供香港最新的防疫資訊及指引 Website 網站: https://www.chp.gov.hk/tc/index.html Department of Health 衞生署 Release updated government health policy 公佈政府衞生政策 Website 網站: https://www.coronavirus.gov.hk/eng/index.html World Health Organization 世界衛生組織 Provide the latest global epidemic information and guidance 提供全球即時的防疫資訊及指引 | | Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong - 1 Nam Fung Path, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong 港怡醫院 - 香港黃竹坑南風徑 1 號 Mainline 電話: +852 3153 9000 Website 網站: https://gleneagles.hk/ | | We are sending this newsletter and other health information to our patients who have shared with us their email contacts.
