Integration of Acupuncture and Osteopathy in the Treatment of the Lateral Knee Pain

摘要

The author presents his experience as a medical specialist in physiotherapy, acupuncture and osteopathy dealing withlateral knee pain that occurs more or less slowly, often without evidence of a specific traumatic cause, but usually as aresult of awkward postures or repeated microtrauma related to sports. This localization has an imprecise diagnosis, rangingfrom the suffering of the lateral meniscus to the tendinopathy of the biceps femoris. The proposed therapy is an integratedapproach between osteopathy and acupuncture that is based on a diagnosis of MO which finds its completion in the pursuitof the dysfunction of the joint mobility and the energy imbalance of the two own CAM.
