Popliteal pain treatment

Popliteal pain refers to pain in the back of the knee, which is mainly caused by pathological reasons. The back of the knee joint belongs to the popliteal fossa. For patients with this kind of pain, they must pay special attention. If they are not well cared for and treated, the symptoms will worsen, which may lead to difficulty squatting and walking. If it is in the acute stage, you should rest in bed, or use a small splint to fix it, and treat it through certain physical therapy methods.

Popliteal pain treatment

(1) In the acute phase, knee flexion and extension activities should be controlled to facilitate recovery of the disease. If necessary, use a small splint or plaster to fix it. (2) In the chronic stage, the functional activities of the knee joint should be strengthened, and squatting and standing up exercises should be performed 50 times in a row in the morning and evening. Those who have difficulty squatting should squat as deep as possible while the pain is tolerable, and do repeated squatting and standing up exercises 50 times. Take once in the morning and evening every day.

reason

Frequent calf flexion and extension activities, such as swimming and playing football, can easily cause lesions at the starting points of these muscles and cause pain in the back of the knee. Sudden knee flexion or sudden twisting of the calf by fixing the ankle can also easily cause acute injury to the origin of these muscles.
