People who are overweight or do lots of sports have a higher risk of damaging their knees. Some sports that involve a lot of turning, such as football, netball, squash and skiing, carry a higher risk of knee injuries.<\/p><h5>COMMON CAUSES OF KNEE PAIN<\/h5><ul class=\"jlist chevron\"><li><strong>sprains and strains<\/strong>, where tissues in the knee have been overstretched but not permanently damaged. These can be managed using PRICE therapy (Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression &amp; Elevation) and pain killers if needed<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.judybowenjonesacupuncture.co.uk\/a-z-of-conditions\/arthritis-gout\">osteoarthritis<\/a>, a common cause of knee pain and stiffness in the elderly<\/li><li><strong>patellofemoral pain syndrome<\/strong> (Anterior knee pain). Knee pain felt at the front of the knee which may be linked to previous injuries, overuse of your knees, muscle weakness and\/or your kneecap being slightly out of place. The pain tends to be dull or aching and often affects both knees at the same time. It is usually worsened by sitting for long periods, squatting or kneeling, or using stairs. Conventional therapy includes pain killers, PRICE therapy and possibly exercise and\/or physiotherapy<\/li><li><strong>Osgood-Schlatter&#8217;s disease<\/strong> (OSD) is a condition which presents with a painful lump on the bone just below the knee. Typically seen in sporty adolescents during a growth spurt, OSD is caused by inflammation of the patellar ligament<\/li><li><strong>menisci or cartilage damage<\/strong>. The menisci\/cartilage act as shock absorbers between the ends of the upper and lower leg bones. These shock absorbers can be damaged by sudden twisting, injury or simply worn by &#8216;wear and tear&#8217;. Physiotherapy may help. Surgery may be needed to repair torn tissue<\/li><li><strong>patellar tendonitis<\/strong>, inflammation of the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shin bone due to overuse or injury. Sometimes called &#8216;jumpers knee&#8217; as it can be brought on by basketball or volleyball<\/li><li><strong>bursitis<\/strong> (housemaid&#8217;s knee), a condition involving the build up of fluid over the knee joint, often seen in people who kneel a lot at work, such as carpet layers, or in sports players.<\/li><li><strong>torn ligaments or tendons<\/strong>. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue which connect the bones at the knee joint; tendons connect the muscles to the bones. These tissues may be torn during running sports such as rugby or football. Surgery may be required<\/li><li>Injury that causes significant damage to the knee joint may cause <strong>bleeding into the joint<\/strong> spaces, known as <strong>haemarthrosis<\/strong>. Signs include swelling of the knee, warmth, stiffness and bruising.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.judybowenjonesacupuncture.co.uk\/a-z-of-conditions\/arthritis-gout\">gout<\/a> is caused by a build-up of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to inflammation, pain and swelling.<\/li><li><strong>septic arthritis<\/strong> (infected knee joints) is a serious condition which causes a very painful, hot, swollen knee. You may also have a fever and feel unwell.<\/li><\/ul><p>Seek urgent medical attention if you knee is very swollen or red, if you cannot put any weight on it, if it is very painful even at rest, if you have numbness or tingling in the lower leg, or if you develop a high temperature and feel unwell with a knee problem.<\/p><h5>Acupuncture for Knee Pain<\/h5><p>A report of acupuncture clinical research trials published by the World Health Organization in 2003 lists Knee Pain and Osteoarthritis among conditions for which acupuncture has been proven effective. Acupuncture studies and systematic reviews indicate that moxibustion (which involves the application of heat) is more effective than conventional drug therapy for treating osteoarthritis of the knee.<\/p><p>Acupuncture may also help relieve pain, inflammation, muscle and joint stiffness and so may help in the treatment of knee and joint pain by:<\/p><ul class=\"jlist tick\"><li>Stimulating nerves in muscles and other tissues and producing endorphins (natural pain killers)<\/li><li>Changing processing of in the brain and spinal cord<\/li><li>Calming inflammation<\/li><li>Reducing muscle stiffness and enhancing joint mobility by improving circulation and reducing swelling<\/li><li>Calming sympathetic nervous activity and reducing our sensitivity to pain<\/li><\/ul><p>See also:<\/p><ul class=\"jlist tick\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.judybowenjonesacupuncture.co.uk\/a-z-of-conditions\/arthritis-gout\">Acupuncture for Arthritis<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.judybowenjonesacupuncture.co.uk\/a-z-of-conditions\/chronic-neuropathic-post-operative-pain\">Acupuncture for Chronic Pain<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.judybowenjonesacupuncture.co.uk\/a-z-of-conditions\/sports-injuries-rsi-tennis-elbow-cts\">Acupuncture for Sports Injuries, RSI, Tennis Elbow and CTS<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-f98ec7b elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f98ec7b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce913ea\" data-id=\"ce913ea\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45638ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"45638ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Treating Knee Pain<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16cad33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16cad33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4655\" src=\"https:\/\/judybowenjonesacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Judy-Bowen-Jones-Acupuncturist-Crowborough-Tunbridge-Wells.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"131\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/judybowenjonesacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Judy-Bowen-Jones-Acupuncturist-Crowborough-Tunbridge-Wells.jpg 131w, https:\/\/judybowenjonesacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Judy-Bowen-Jones-Acupuncturist-Crowborough-Tunbridge-Wells-109x125.jpg 109w, https:\/\/judybowenjonesacupuncture.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Judy-Bowen-Jones-Acupuncturist-Crowborough-Tunbridge-Wells-66x75.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 131px) 100vw, 131px\" \/>&#8220;Many sufferers of chronic knee pain associated with arthritis or fibromyalgia report that their symptoms are worse in cold, damp weather.

Also, my blood pressure is exemplary, unusual for someone like me who enjoys food and wine &#8211; this is apparently an acknowledged result of acupuncture.<br \/>\nOver the years Judy has successfully treated me for plantar fasciitis, neuralgia, hair loss, knee pain and bad sleep patterns. She is extremely knowledgeable about diet as well as the philosophy and practice of acupuncture, and as she has a scientific background as well as her long and thorough training, I feel that her treatments are to be trusted on all levels.<br \/>\nTreatments start with a massage, a double whammy as it feels wonderful as well as kickstarting the body, ready for the acupuncture.<br \/>\ni can\u2019t recommend Judy enough. You come out of her clinic feeling that not only have you been helped physically, but that you have now got someone who has listened to and thought about your condition, and is on your side on the journey to improve it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"ttshowcase_rl_info_wrap tt_info-below\"><div class=\"ttshowcase_rl_aditional_info tt_table_cell_right\"><div class=\"ttshowcase_rl_title reviewer\">My fingers were arthritic and painful<\/div><div class=\"ttshowcase_rl_subtitle\">Anna T, Piano Teacher, Mayfield<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>&nbsp;<\/div><div class=\"tt_full_column tt_text_left tts-arthritis tts-id-85 tts-chronic-pain tts-id-86 tts-knee-pain tts-id-133 tts-pain-relief tts-id-81 \" id=\"tt3513\" ><div class=\"ttshowcase_rl_box tt_full_column tt_text_left \" ><div><div class=\"tt_quote_info-below ttshowcase_rl_quote_block\" ><div class=\"ttshowcase_rl_quote tt_italic\"><p>I hurt my knee running.
