The Knee #Osteoarthritis and #Mesopuncture
Mesopuncture is a supplementary means in
the classical acupuncture treatment for osteoarthritis in general and
especially for the knee, but not only, osteoarthritis.
As the laser, it is an association, Chinese medicine and modern pharmacopoeia.
Recall that there are three categories of Acupuncture Points _ APs: APs of
general, regional and local action.
The Mesopuncture is preferentially applied to APs of local action.
It is the injection (or the passive deposition), in the AP of few drops of a
liquid drug.
The liquid drug has two actions, in the AP, both dependents on its
physicochemical structure:
• Due to its intrinsic therapeutic properties it treats the knee, not only,
osteoarthritis: The
Mesopuncture is a supplementary means from
the classical acupuncture treatment for osteoarthritis in general and especially
in the knee osteoarthritis.
It complements the classical acupuncture session.
As with the laser, it is an association, Chinese
medicine and modern pharmacopoeia.
Let us
remember that there are three categories of Acupuncture Points _ APs: APs
of general, regional and local action.
The Mesopuncture is preferentially applied to APs of local action.
Mesopuncture
is the injection (or passive deposition), in the AP of few drops of a liquid
drug. The daily active dose is divided in several micro-deposits created into
the various APs.
The liquid drug into the AP.
Due to
its physicochemical structure or
volume, the liquid drug is a fluid stimulus of the AP, adding an energy
dimension to the pharmacological treatment. The liquid drug
keeps its intrinsic therapeutic
properties, active on the knee osteoarthritis: Pharmacological
effect.
Stimulates the AP creating a therapeutic
effect: Acupuncture effect.
The
duration of both actions of this injection, in pharmacology and acupuncture,
also are dependent on the rate of resorption of the liquid drug, of its
physicochemical structure. It often exceeds the stimulus duration of the
classic metal needle.
Generally, the pharmacological properties (pharmacological effect) of the
liquid drug selected and injected into the AP are synergistic of the
therapeutic properties resulting from the stimulation of APs (Acupuncture
effect): Pharmacological and Acupuncture effects are synergistic and of same
duration.
Around
the AP, with the same needle and liquid drug, it is possible to create
Mesotherapy points also of the same therapeutic action duration.
The liquid drug injected into the APs located in the skin, like in Mesotherapy,
has an interesting therapeutic future:
It reaches directly the weathered zone first, and then after passage into the
blood and conjugation in the liver, it again reaches the altered zone.: The
liquid drug acts twice in the altered area.
Nota.
For the treatment of osteoarthritis, by
Mesopuncture Acupuncture, we do not have, in our pharmacopoeia, active drugs
for more than a few weeks.
It is possible to use liquid drugs of long or even
very long stimulus duration of the AP (Acupuncture effect) without synergistic
pharmacological effect but with pharmacological effect, not harmful, rather
dedicated to comfort or aesthetics, as hyaluronic acid, for example. This type of long stimulus of the AP is interesting
because it is possible to space the Acupuncture sessions: Fear of needles, loss
of time, financial concerns etc. or to use them for patients intolerant to
anti-inflammatory drugs or
wishing to avoid them....
