What exercises wear down knee cartilage? Can cartilage heal on its own after wear and tear?

Exercises such as climbing mountains and stairs can wear down the cartilage in the knee joint, especially when descending hills or stairs. Cartilage is difficult to recover after wear and tear because the cartilage itself has no vascularity and no nutrients**.

The first point is very simple, when running, if you don't pay attention to the amount and method, it will definitely wear down the cartilage of the knee joint, and the second point, if you want to heal yourself after cartilage wear, you should slowly relieve it through massage, so that the injured part can eliminate the pain.

Younger patients with mild wear and tear of the knee cartilage need to reduce strenuous physical activity, stabilize the knee by going up and down stairs, and train to reduce pain and allow it to heal on its own.

First, the best method of knee cartilage wear.

Cartilage wear of the knee includes cartilage wear of the femur, cartilage wear of the tibia, and cartilage wear of the patella. If the person is young, only the cartilage of the patella wears out, which is called patellomalacia. These young patients may need to reduce strenuous physical activity, improve knee stability by going up and down stairs, and reduce pain through training, which can improve gradually and have little impact.

If the cartilage of the knee joint is severely worn, the main manifestation is that the femur and tibial cartilage have been severely worn, and the pain is more severe when walking, such patients are usually middle-aged and elderly, and people over 55 years old are more common. If these more severe conditions occur, surgery** is required, usually knee resurfacing is the option to relieve postoperative pain.

2. Causes of knee cartilage wear.

Degeneration. With the age of the joint degeneration, cartilage degeneration, cartilage wear, can be secondary to meniscus injury, knee joint soft tissue damage, X-ray can be manifested as joint space narrowing, osteophyte formation. Trauma.

Trauma can be followed by cartilage damage, in which case free damage to the cartilage or loss of cartilage can occur, and the symptoms are mainly pain in the joint and limited movement of the joint. If the cartilage damage and detachment are relatively large, there may also be symptoms of knee locking and jamming.

3. Prevention of knee cartilage wear.

It is very important for patients with abrasion of knee cartilage to strengthen their daily life. If you keep warm properly, you can prevent cold from entering the knee joint, which will help you recover your knee health and reduce the symptoms of knee pain. Arrange outdoor exercise reasonably.

When the cartilage of the knee joint is worn out, it is not advisable to do strenuous exercise, but reasonable exercise can help the healthy recovery of the knee joint. In order to reduce the pressure on the cartilage of the knee joint, patients should not do mountaineering, hiking and long-distance running, but can appropriately swim and supine leg raises, which can relieve the discomfort of the knee area.

It should be done in the way of surgery, because this is a very serious disease, and if you don't do surgery, the consequences will be unimaginable, so we must pay attention to this aspect of the problem. But if you want it to heal itself, then you can use hot compresses, massages, warm patches, Chinese medicine and Western medicine to solve this problem.

You should go to the hospital to understand the wear and tear, and according to the doctor's advice, you should use the medicine to avoid inflammation. You can use anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs**, or take the way of traditional Chinese medicine hot compress**, and be sure to understand the phenomenon of joint wear.

In such a situation, you must adjust and massage in time, and then you should also pay attention to your walking posture, do not exercise vigorously at ordinary times, pay attention to protect the damaged parts, and also need to take some drugs to **.

The knee joint is a very important part of our human body, and the cartilage above the knee joint is also very important, it has the effect of preventing friction. So in our daily life, the cartilage of the knee joint is worn out, how should we maintain it? I'll summarize it for you today.

What to do if the cartilage in the knee joint is worn out

In ordinary life, we must pay attention to keeping warm, and keep warm for knee joint maintenance and friction of knee cartilage, so that the cold will not enter the knee joint, so that the knee joint will have a good protective effect.

The above is a summary for everyone, after the knee cartilage is damaged, we must pay attention to maintenance, can not easily slack off, you can follow the summary method to do, and finally hope that the summary will be helpful to you.

Many people will have accidents when exercising, such as knee cartilage wear, most people are helpless about this problem, and I will briefly share it with you below.

1.First, arthroscopic surgery, that is, the arthroscopy and surgical aids are pierced into the joint through a small incision, or the joint cavity is cleared, or the rough cartilage surface is grinded, or part of the cartilage is removed. In the short term, the purpose of pain relief can be achieved, but after all, it destroys and weakens the inherent articular cartilage of the human body, and in the long run, it affects the motor function of the human body.

2.Second, sodium hyaluronate injection, that is, to inject lubricating oil into the joint, increase the lubrication and flexibility of the joint, so as to reduce pain, but can not improve the internal structure of the articular cartilage, after consumption, it is still necessary to inject, repeated and continuous, easy to produce dependence, and may also reduce the body's own ability to secrete synovial fluid, the effect gradually decreases.

3.Thirdly, physiotherapy is also very helpful for the condition of the disease, you can choose heating, or massage the affected area, which can help blood circulation, but also can help relieve pain.

Precautions. The cartilage in the knee is worn out, so you can't move around as often, and it's best to stay in bed to avoid unnecessary impacts.

Many bones make up the skeleton of the human body. There are joints between bones and bones. There is cartilage on the articular surface.

In fact, cartilage is equivalent to a buffer zone, and when exercising, there is a certain impact on this part, and cartilage can reduce the impact of this force on the knee joint and reduce knee joint damage. So, how can the wear and tear of the knee cartilage be remedied?

Articular cartilage has a variety of functions like buffering stress, lubrication, etc. But once the articular cartilage wears down, it is difficult to remedy. Because cartilage is vascular, its nutrients are provided by synovial fluid, and most cartilage damage is difficult to repair on its own.

Knee cartilage is difficult to repair, and in order to repair it, it needs to be done regularly**. It is believed that taking glucosamine can promote cartilage repair to some extent.

Some netizens have consulted, does dietary therapy have any effect on promoting the regeneration of articular cartilage?

The following are some of the most popular dietary treatments on the Internet to promote joint cartilage regeneration:

1. Shrimp, shellfish, crabs.

2. Pig ears, chicken feet, and hoof tendons.

Foods such as pig ears, chicken feet, and hoof tendons are rich in chondroitin. Chondroitin has the effect of relieving pain, promoting cartilage regeneration, and softening bones, so many people believe that eating more of these foods can improve joint problems and keep joints smooth. Chondroitin is supplemented after cartilage wear.

In addition, these foods are also rich in "bone collagen", which is said to have a certain effect on preventing bone and joint degeneration, reducing joint pain, promoting calcium absorption, and preventing osteoporosis.

3. Bell peppers. The human body needs to supplement a certain amount of vitamin C every day. One green bell pepper contains twice as much vitamin C as the body needs.

Red and yellow bell peppers contain more vitamin C than green peppers. In addition to vitamin C, bell peppers also contain vitamin B6 and folic acid. It has been suggested that these components of bell peppers have a certain effect on relieving the pain caused by arthritis.

4. Tahini.

Calcium supplementation is needed to repair damaged joints. Sesame paste is rich in calcium, more than milk and cheese. It also contains some minerals (such as potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, etc.) and some vitamins. It can prevent osteoporosis, soften blood vessels, and reduce blood lipids.

5. Drink water. 6. Moderate exercise to "nourish" cartilage.

When the joint moves, the cartilage is in a state of squeezing and relaxation replacement, which is conducive to the cartilage to excrete waste products and absorb nutrients. If the cycle does not move, it will lead to joint degeneration. Excessive exercise can also damage joints, so proper exercise is good for cartilage.

Dietary therapy has certain benefits for the human body, but it is basically useless to improve symptoms through dietary therapy in the case of wear and tear of articular cartilage. In addition, cartilage wear and tear may also be related to some joint related diseases, such as arthritis, osteoporosis, etc.

Seek medical attention aggressively** for these conditions.

Traditional Chinese medicine is conservative because it is safe, non-critical, and treats both the symptoms and the root causes, and has become the first choice for joint pain.

Centennial Famous Prescription [Ze Qian Tang Plaster Patch] Selected 18 precious Chinese herbal medicines, has always adhered to the ancient method of boiling, it is understood that in synovial cartilage injury, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, lumbar disc herniation and other orthopedic diseases, the effect is very good, the reputation is also good, generally about 1-2 cycles can be **, you can try it.

If the knee cartilage has been injured, it is not recommended to run, especially not recommended to run on cement floors and asphalt roads, which may aggravate the injury, but you can do the following exercises.

1. You can run in soft places such as plastic tracks, grass, and beaches, control your running speed, and jog instead of sprinting fast.
