Knee osteoarthritis is a common disease in orthopedics,located in the tendons and bones,and rooted in the liver and kidney.The etiology and pathogenesis of the disease are liver and kidney deficiency and wind-cold-damp pathogen invasion,and the syndrome belongs to the deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality.The theory of"liver dominating tendon and kidney dominating bone"originated from the Yellow Emperor's Internal Canon of Medicine.Based on this theory,this paper will discuss the therapeutic effect of warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with massage on knee osteoarthritis.With the principle of soothing the liver,nourishing the blood,strengthening the tendons,tonifying the kidney,nourishing the spirits,and strengthening the bones,we will adopt the treatment method of warm acupuncture and moxibustion combined with massage to achieve the effect of regulating the liver and kidney and strengthening the bones and tendons,thereby providing a new combined treatment approach for traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis,which is helpful for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
