We encountered three clinic cases where both knees were swollen due to liver inflammation. The swelling subsided two days after undergoing our liver detox therapy. In another case, both knees were swollen due to bladder incontinence.
Children can occasionally experience knee pain as well. We had an 8-year-old client who had been enduring knee pain rated at 5 out of 10 for two months. The parent mentioned that physiotherapy had not alleviated her pain. We performed a knee joint realignment, and after the session, the young girl confirmed that her knee was pain-free. She was able to jump on that leg again.
In Osteopathy, the knee is considered a paradoxical joint. It is the largest and most complex synovial joint in the body, balancing the conflicting needs of stability and mobility.
Tendonitis and bursitis often occur together around the pes anserine bursa. The lumbar and sacral plexus can innervate the pes anserinus. Pain can also be referred to this area from organs such as the kidneys, intestines, and urogenital organs.
Knee sprains typically involve the medial meniscus. The ligament crosses to the semimembranosus tendon and affects the medial collateral ligament. The aim of osteopathic treatment is to restore and establish the proprioception loop to every soft tissue component.
The menisci of the knee are layers composed of collagen-rich connective tissue embedded in cartilaginous cells. They are not cartilage. A meniscal tear can occur at any age. Meniscal injuries are caused by twisting or turning quickly with the foot planted and flexed to about 20 degrees. This type of accident is common among young football players. Meniscal lesions frequently occur with joint swelling and blockage.
