Knee pain is a common complaint that can affect people of all ages, impacting mobility and overall quality of life. It can result from injuries, degenerative conditions, or inflammation, leading to symptoms such as pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Whether it’s from overuse, arthritis, or injury, knee pain can significantly affect daily activities. At Medical Acupuncture in Oviedo, FL, we offer a holistic approach to managing knee pain, using acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other supportive therapies to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Understanding the root cause of knee pain is essential for effective treatment. Common causes include:
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are common causes of knee pain, leading to joint degeneration and chronic inflammation.
Injuries to knee ligaments, such as the ACL, MCL, or LCL, can lead to pain, instability, and limited mobility.
Inflammation of the tendons around the knee, often due to overuse or repetitive strain, causes pain and discomfort, especially during movement.
The meniscus acts as a cushion in the knee joint, and tears in this cartilage can result in pain, swelling, and restricted movement.
Inflammation of the bursae (small fluid-filled sacs) around the knee can cause pain and swelling, especially with repetitive kneeling or pressure on the joint.
Identifying these causes helps us create a personalized treatment plan that targets both pain relief and recovery.
Our team provides an integrative approach to knee pain relief, combining acupuncture with other therapies to address symptoms and promote long-term health:
Acupuncture relieves knee pain by stimulating points that improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and release endorphins. This treatment targets pain relief, improves joint function, and supports the body’s natural healing processes.
We use lab tests and imaging studies to assess knee health, checking for underlying factors like inflammation, degeneration, or structural damage. This information guides our approach, ensuring a tailored treatment plan for each patient.
Anti-inflammatory herbs, such as turmeric and ginger, help reduce swelling and pain around the knee joint. Herbal medicine complements acupuncture, providing additional support for healing and mobility.
For patients with severe knee pain, injection therapy delivers targeted relief by administering anti-inflammatory agents or natural pain relievers directly to the joint. This treatment works in conjunction with acupuncture to reduce pain and accelerate recovery.
Proper posture, joint-friendly exercises, and healthy movement habits are key to maintaining knee health. Our counseling services provide guidance on ergonomic adjustments, strengthening exercises, and lifestyle modifications that support knee function and prevent future strain.
