Knee pain can be caused by several reasons and those that are not due to serious causes can surely be healed with reflexology, but in case it is an advanced case of osteoporosis then one must seek special medical attention.

I am suffering from;

Radial tear in posterior horn of medial meniscus.

As informed by my doctor, that such tears are not self healing due to no or very limited blood supply to interior side of the meniscus and partial removal of the teared meniscus via camera surgery is the only option.

Kindly guide me how Reflexology may help repair heel my damaged Meniscus, so that I may possibly avoid the surgery.

Thanks.

Reflexology may not work effectively in such extreme cases and and its best to take help from professionals in such cases.

Go To Google and Look Up Sciatic Nerve, Click On Images… Have Here Bend Over and Tighten Her Legs, Then Start To Massage Those Areas On The Back Of The Legs and Calves With A Rubber Mallet While She Is Wearing Clothes to Avoid The Stinging Sensation From The Slap Effect…

Great Blog man! And i know it works as 2 years ago i felt pain in my knee, and after visiting doctors and taking allopathic medicines it did not cure me well. And after wasting my lot of money and energy finally i made a mind to visit chiropractors for this treatment and i am shocked after seeing their results as this treatment heal my joint from saviour pain and after visitng few sessions now i am feeling very well. So i thought this is the best treatment for all of us.
