【摘要】
一位30 岁上班族女性,在无外伤及运动习惯下,蹲坐起身时双膝内外侧疼痛长达一年,来诊时初步诊断为慢性膝部劳损,针刺後膝痛无明显改善。依照中医经筋理论及西医神经解剖学并运用美式整脊(AMCT) 进一步分析检查,发现膝痛之病因来自腰椎与骨盆错位,经过腰椎骨盆矫正後并行针刺治疗,双膝疼痛大幅改善,疗效稳定未复发,故提出供大家於诊断与治疗上作为叁考。

【Summary】
A 30-year-old office lady, suffered from pain on the lateral and medial sides of both knees when standing up from a squat for one year, was initially diagnosed as chronic knee strain in the absence of trauma and exercise habits. No significant improvement was noted after acupuncture treatment. Further analysis with the theory of Meridian Sinews (Jingjin), neuroanatomy and the Activator Method Chiropractic Technique (AMCT) revealed that the knee pain was a result of subluxation of lumbar spine and pelvis. After chiropractic adjustment of the pelvis and lumbar spine as well as acupuncture therapy, the knee pain was largely relieved, and the efficacy was stable with no recurrence. We introduce the case report as a reference of diagnosis and treatment of knee pain.
