Basketball meniscus injury

Friends who love to exercise regularly, such as those who like to play basketball, are prone to symptoms of meniscus damage due to not paying enough attention to the strength during exercise or due to reasons such as the venue. After the meniscus is damaged, you should stop exercising immediately and focus on rest and conditioning. You will gradually get better. Chinese medicine generally treats it through acupuncture or massage. If the injury is serious, it is best to undergo surgery. When exercising normally, you must pay attention to preventing damage to the meniscus.

The reason why meniscus injury is easy to occur when playing basketball

The part of the body that basketball enthusiasts often get injured, and cannot afford to get injured, is their knees.

Because bone growth is slow, even when we are twenty years old, our bones have not yet hardened. Strong stimulation when the bones have not yet hardened can easily cause knee joint edema. The way to prevent knee edema is to do some exercises on the knee joint, such as full knee flexion, bunny hops, and squats. However, exercise should not be excessive, otherwise it will be counterproductive. In normal times, you can do some exercises to strengthen the area around the knee joint.

Causes of meniscus injury

1. When the knee joint is flexed, the tibia is fixed, and the femur is strongly externally rotated, the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus or the posterior horn of the medial meniscus may be injured. 2. Strong internal rotation of the femur (or external rotation of the calf) with the knee flexed can easily cause injury to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus or the anterior part of the medial meniscus. Long-term extrusion and wear can cause degeneration and easily lead to tearing. 3. Abnormal looseness of the meniscus, instability after joint ligament injury, or obesity and excessive weight are all factors that make the meniscus susceptible to injury. 4. Congenital discoid meniscus is affected by genetic factors and causes congenital discoid deformity, so the chance of injury is greater.

Simple treatment for meniscus injury

1. Use cupping, acupuncture, electrotherapy and other physical therapy methods to treat meniscus injury

Acupuncture, cupping, acupuncture, massage and other physical therapy methods can improve local blood circulation, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relax muscles and tendons, but they are only auxiliary treatments; meniscus injury is not quite the same as general joint arthritis. It is mainly aseptic inflammation of the joints. Simple blood circulation, blood stasis, and relaxation of muscles and tendons cannot fundamentally eliminate aseptic inflammation.

2. Treatment of meniscus injury with traditional Chinese medicine

(Duhuo Bone-Activating Patch) has the effect of strengthening tendons and bones. This recipe can repair damaged meniscus, dredge the circulation of qi and blood, and enable liver blood to nourish the tendons and veins, thereby enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the meniscus tissue, making the knee joint more firm and stable, and no recurrence after recovery.
