Clinical experience of JIAO Lin in treatment of knee osteoarthritis with manual mobilization of meridian muscle regions
's clinical experience in treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by manual mobilization of meridian muscle regions. Professor
JIAO Lin
believes that the key to the occurrence and development of KOA lies in the disorder of meridian muscle regions (sinews/fascia). In pathology
four stages are divided
i.e. the acute stage
the blockage stage
the contraction stage and the atrophy stage of muscle regions
characterized as multi-layer
multi-dimensional and multi-morphological distribution. In treatment
based on the principle
"taking pain sites as stimulating points"
the sites
with reduced pain threshold and distributed along the meridian muscle regions
are regarded as "acupoints" for intervention. Manual mobilization of meridian muscle regions is the dominant approach
combined with routine acupuncture
heat-sensitive moxibustion
cupping and bloodletting corresponding to the features of syndromes and meridian manifestation at different stages. The comprehensive treatment may restore and reconstruct the physiological functions of the meridian muscle regions around knee joints by "nourishing tendons
