ABOUT PELLEGRINI STIEDA SYNDROME
A Pellegrini stieda syndrome is a condition of pain that occurs at the origin of the MCL (medical collateral ligament) which is located at the end of the thigh bone (femur). In this syndrome, the deposition of calcium occurs on the medial (inside) side of the knee. The pain occurs due to this calcification. This disease is not as common as other joint disease and is often seen in people who have had a MCL injury. This syndrome may sometimes, require surgical removal of calcium deposit.
WHAT IS MCL (MEDIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT)?
MCL (Medial collateral ligament) is a ligament that is present on the inner side of a joint that resists the stress on the joint. In our body, many joints are there where MCL is there such as in our elbows, fingers, but mostly, it refers to the one that is present in the knee.
AYURVEDIC APPROACH TO HEALTHY JOINTS
Ayurveda, an oldest system of health care, offers a natural way to take care of the body. According to Ayurveda, joint problems occurs mainly due to two reasons. The first reason behind the joint disorders is poorly nourished joints or we can say, joint problems occur due to the weakness in the joints.
The second reason behind joint problems is overload of toxic in the joints. Overloading of toxic substances leads to the formation of too many toxins in the body. In Ayurveda, this toxin is known as “ama”. Ama are the sticky substances that are the waste products of incomplete digestion. The accumulation of the ama in the joints causes stiffness and heaviness. If this ama stays there for a long time, and left untreated, then the joint can become painful and swollen. Damp and cold weather can aggravate this condition.
IS THERE ANY AYURVEDIC TREATMENT FOR PELLIGRINI STEIDA SYNDROME?
In general, treatment of any disease depends upon the cause of that disease. There are several causes of joint problems that ranges from obesity to hereditary. Improper use of joints, stress, overexertion, an unhealthy diet and lifestyle can contribute a lot to the joint disorders. By managing stress, by adopting a healthy lifestyle and by taking healthy diet, we can manage the overall health of the body.
Ayurveda says, imbalance in any of the doshas of the body, which are known as the energies of the body, is responsible for various health conditions. Hence, Ayurvedic treatment of any disease involves the balancing of all the three doshas of the body.
