Pes Anserine Bursitis

There is a study showing that pes anserinus tendinitis is present in more than 75% of patients with degenerative knee arthritis. This is because when the knee deforms into varus (O-shape) due to the wear of the medial joint cartilage, abnormal tension is continuously applied to the pes anserinus attachment site. When the two conditions coexist, an approach that addresses each lesion together is necessary.

Perspective of a Korean Medicine Clinic

In Korean medicine, it is believed that as the body's fundamental energy weakens due to aging, the bones and fascia weaken together. When digestive and nutritional functions decline, the muscles surrounding the joints are not properly nourished, accelerating atrophy. Furthermore, waste products accumulate in both the joints and the bursa, causing complex pain. At Dongjedang, we stimulate degenerated tissues to induce regeneration using ultrasound-guided moxibustion and fire acupuncture, and simultaneously address both arthritis and tendinitis using herbal medicine that cleanses the body of waste.
