6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville,.Wednesday, September 18,1996 Section Two Selects Win Tournament The Darlington Undcr-9 Girls' Select team finished an outstanding season by winning the championship at the Union- ville-Milliken Select Tournament Tournament on August 24-25. by Telma R. Grant r.p.t. A Case of Left Knee Pain Question: Telma, I have left knee pain. Could you tell me your approach to the evaluation and treatment of knee pain? I will illustrate my approach to evaluation and treatment with the following case study. My patient came in with left knee pain, secondary secondary to knee problems from high school days and he reports that his knee pain is aggravated by running and by skating. When I examined his knee, the knee pain was on the inner aspect of the knee joint. It was localized to around the joint line and around the knee cap or patella. patella. We found that on examination, examination, his hamstrings were tight and his knee had good joint mobility, but he had a lot of tenderness on the inside of the knee joint. I did a whole body evaluation evaluation of him and found the following following restrictions: His head was shifted right on his neck. This predisposed his body weight to fall over his right leg, thereby flattening the right arch of the foot. Hence, if you will, there is a twist put on the. lower left leg and a considerable strain on the knee, because the left lower leg now has to twist internally in order to compensate for the body being tilted to the right. I did a trial treatment that day with electrical acupuncture acupuncture to his right jaw, his left ankle and his left hamstring insertion. We checked for active movements pre and post treatment. The active movement that we did was hip mobility, back mobility and neck mobility. All of these improved post treatment. The patient will also be taught stretches and strengthening as part of his rehab program. Interestingly enough, his right arch reformed,, it has noticeably noticeably improved and was not as flat immediately after the treatment. . The approach that I use in evaluation and treatment of injuries is called the G.A.M.E. plan and it stands for the Grant Approach to Musculoskeletal Evaluation and Treatment. It has been developed over a period of four years and it employs a whole body approach to evaluation. The purpose of evaluation is to find out where the patient's body does not move, because the lack of movement movement contributes to other joints being on more strain and it is these joints and muscles muscles that end-up presenting symptoms. |n evaluation we are trying to find the contributing factors to the patient's symptoms, so' that treatment can be used more to treat the contributing factors, rather than to Band- Aid the symptoms.
