Dr. Lin Yunfei
Acupuncture treatment can help alleviate knee synovitis. Stimulating acupoints such as Zusanli (ST36), Yinlingquan (SP9), and Yanglingquan (GB34) may relieve symptoms, but cannot cure the condition. Synovitis causes joint pain and swelling, and can be classified as either chronic or acute. In severe cases, it may lead to difficulty walking. This condition may result from prolonged heavy physical labor or frequent joint wear and tear. It is recommended to seek timely medical treatment at a hospital.
