Types of Knee Pain
Understanding the different types of knee pain can help identify suitable treatments. TCM for knee pain addresses a variety of causes, from joint degeneration to injuries and inflammation.
1. Arthritis-Related Pain
Arthritis, such as osteoarthritis, wears down knee cartilage, leading to pain and stiffness.
2. Injury-Related Pain
Ligament tears or meniscus injuries may result from physical activities. TCM aims to reduce pain, support tissue repair, and strengthen the knee.
3. Inflammatory Pain
Conditions like bursitis or tendonitis cause knee inflammation. TCM helps reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and promote knee joint health.
