膝の痛み 内側側副靭帯
masuiKnee pain Medial collateral ligament
膝の内側の安定性を保つ働きをしている内側側副靭帯が外から内股方向に強い外力が加わることで切れてしまい、膝の内側に痛みが生じます。症状としては膝を動かした時に、膝の内側に痛みを認めます。圧痛や熱感、腫れなども伴うことがあります。また、動き方によっては、膝がぐらぐらして不安定に感じます。放っておくと膝に水が溜まることもあります。
写真ではすこし水がたまってフカフカしていました。今回の原因としては 日常生活を送っていたら次第に痛みだしたとのことで、更年期の加齢変性を疑いました。膝関節の変形が進むと、膝の内側に負担が加わり、膝の内側の緊張が高まり内側側副靭帯が傷ついた可能性がありました。
膝の内側の痛み 内側側副靭帯の損傷に対して疼痛緩和、血行促進を目的に施術いたしました。鍼灸治療は刺激局所の血管拡張により血流量が増大、局所の体温上昇に作用し、内因性発痛物質の除去や、患部の鎮静鎮痛、血流不良による痛みの改善および、神経筋損傷組織の回復促進に作用します 。鍼灸刺激→筋血管の拡張→フレアー現象の出現→筋血流量増大→循環促進→筋肉内の血流改善、冷え、痛みの改善につなげます
The medial collateral ligament, which helps to maintain stability of the medial side of the knee, is torn when a strong external force is applied from the outside towards the inner thigh, causing pain in the medial side of the knee. Symptoms include pain on the inside of the knee when the knee is moved. Tenderness, heat and swelling may also be present. The knee may also feel wobbly and unstable depending on how it is moved. If left untreated, water may accumulate in the knee.
In the picture, there was a little water and fluffiness. As for the cause of the pain in this case, I suspected age-related degeneration during menopause, as the pain started gradually as she went about her daily life. As the knee joint deformity progressed, there was an added strain on the medial side of the knee, which could have increased tension on the medial side of the knee and damaged the medial collateral ligament.
Medial knee pain The treatment was aimed at relieving pain and promoting blood circulation for the damage to the medial collateral ligament. Acupuncture increases blood flow and local body temperature by dilating blood vessels in the stimulating area, eliminating endogenous pain substances, calming and analgesia in the affected area, improving pain caused by poor blood flow and promoting recovery of damaged neuromuscular tissue. Acupuncture stimulation → dilation of muscle blood vessels → appearance of flare phenomenon → increase in muscle blood flow → promotion of circulation → improvement of intramuscular blood flow, cold and pain.
