Summary

In this book, which is the second in my series of orthopedic informational guides, I would like to explain frequency, causes, and treatments of knee pain and instability that many of you have experienced or will experience in your lifetimes. In active society there are many sports injuries, activities, and other conditions that affect all of our bodies and especially our joints. As an orthopedic surgeon I have seen thousands of patients of all ages. Most people have no understanding of their injuries or the cause of the pain they are suffering.My purpose in writing this book is from the perspective of an Orthopedic Surgeon practicing 43 years to inform athletes and others of the damage that has been done both anatomically and physiologically to their bodies. Functions have been lost. My goal is to show you how we correct these things using the most conservative methods first and then progressing to surgery if necessary. It can't be emphasized enough that physical therapy is extremely important from the beginning of treatment to the end.In this my second book of the series of body areas to be covered; it is focused on the knee joint cartilages and surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The anatomy of the bones, muscles, ligaments, plus neurovascular structures will be illustrated and discussed in detail. Then step- by- step we will take various diagnoses, explain them in detail and cover the choices of treatment including outcomes, risks, and potential complications.In this book I will answer questions that you might ask of your orthopedic surgeon, for example:1, What is the exact nature of my knee problem? 2. Why is surgery being recommended?3. What are the specific risks and benefits of the recommended surgery?4. What is the expected recovery timeline?5. What kind of rehabilitation will be necessary?6. What are the potential complications and how common are they?7 What are the alternatives to surgery and what are their success rates?Welcome to!

    Gua-sha is a part of traditional Chinese  medication (TCM); it can also be known as "scraping," "spooning," or "coining." Its professionally use as an instrument to scrape people's pores and skin, it is said to have a therapeutic advantage. The procedure of this particular medication has a French name called tribo-effleurage. Gua-sha is an all-natural option therapy that involves scraping your skin layer with a therapeutic massage tool to boost your blood circulation. This ancient Chinese curing technique provides a unique method of better health and also dealing with issues like chronic pain.In gua-sha, a technician scrapes your skin layer with brief or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the smooth cells, which increases blood circulation; they make these strokes with a smooth-edged device known as a Gua-therapeutic massage tool, the specialist applies massage essential oil to your skin layer, and then uses the tool to scrape your skin layer in a downward movement frequently. Gua-sha is supposed to handle stagnant energy, called chi; professionals believe that this “chi” is responsible for swellings in any part of the body; swelling is the reason behind several conditions associated with chronic pain. Massaging the skin’s surface is considered to help split up this energy, reduce irritation, and promote recovery.Gua-sha is usually performed on the back, buttocks, neck, hands, and legs; a mild version from it is even applied to the facial skin as a cosmetic technique. Your specialist may apply moderate pressure, and steadily increase strength to regulate how much pressure you are designed for.
