Kill your Knee Pain with Acupressure

Updated: Jan 16, 2021


Nearly 90% of Indian people suffer from damaged knee joints by the age of 60-65 years. However, knee pain is no longer associated with aging. Doctor Narendra Reddy, Director of Sai Bhaskar Hospital Group, said that “Studies indicate that 19.3% of young adults in India are obese. This leads to a primary risk factor for future joint pains and arthritis”. He also explained that earlier all joint patients were above the age of 55 years but nowadays 40% of patients are youngsters. Knee joint pain is a disease that will adversely impact the nation’s productivity in a near future.

Knee pain can be originated in any of the bony structures compromising the knee joint, in the kneecap or in the ligaments, tendons and cartilage of the knee. It can also be divided into three major categories: acute injury (broken bone, torn ligament or meniscal tear), medical conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, infections) and chronic use or overuse conditions (chondromalacia, IT band syndrome, patellar syndrome, tendinitis and bursitis).



Side effects of the Allopathic Treatment for Knee Pain


Of course, there are cases in which a surgery is compulsory due to the injury that disables the patient to move the knee or even to walk. In medical conditions such as arthritis, arthrosis or gout, specific medicines are prescribed. Nevertheless, in most cases pain killers are given as prescription. And, unfortunately, allopathic medicine treatment is based on:


· Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): whose side effects are stomach ulcers, kidney problems, anaemia, dizziness, abnormal liver tests, headaches, rash and high blood pressure.

· Analgesics: whose side effects are constipation, drowsiness, upset stomach, dry mouth and rash.

· Corticosteroids: better known as steroids, whose side effects are acne, blurred vision, glaucoma, high blood pressure, weight gain, increased growth of body hair, insomnia, osteoporosis, stomach irritation, sudden mood swings, swollen face, water retention, swelling and worsening of diabetes condition.

· Injections and ice packs (depending on the case).


However, Traditional Chinese Medicine has better options.



Acupressure: Drug Free Pain Relief


Inflammation is a natural immune response of the body to injury and invasion. The body perceives a dangerous pathogen as harmful and as a potential threat. While inflammation helps the body to heal, if it is prolonged in time it can lead to a number of chronic diseases.

Systematic inflammation causes elevated cortisol levels, the stress hormone involved in fatigue, irritability, headaches, anxiety or depression, weigh gain, increased blood pressure, low libido, erectile dysfunction, irregular menstrual periods and poor sleep.

Acupressure helps to reduce the cortisol level so that the body starts detoxifying itself.

In addition, the stimulation of several Acupressure points relieves the inflammatory conditions.
