Osgood-Schlatter disease

[Guest guest]

I have a friend with this condition. She was

diagnosed at 13 years old and told that she would grow

out of it within a few years. She's now 22 and her

knee

still flairs up, as it is at the moment.

 

I'm wanting to do a Pranic Treatment on her, but

knowing little about this disease, I'm nervous of

making matters worse by energising the knee area.

Obviously my intention with energising would be to

strengthen the knee not to give strength to the

problem.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Blessings

Dear Rach,

 

Atma namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Osgood-Schlatter disease is an inflammation of the

bone, cartilage, and/or tendon at the top of the

shinbone (tibia), where the tendon from the kneecap

(patella) attaches. Most often only one knee is

affected. OSD usually strikes active adolescents

around the beginning of their growth spurts, the

approximately 2-year period during which they grow

most rapidly. Growth spurts can begin any time between

the ages of 8 and 13 for girls, or 10 and 15 for boys.

OSD has been more common in boys, but as more girls

participate in sports, this pattern is changing.

 

Teens increase their risk for OSD if they play sports

involving running, twisting, and jumping, such as

basketball, football, volleyball, soccer, tennis,

figure skating, and gymnastics. Doctors disagree about

the mechanics that cause the injury but agree that

overuse and physical stress are involved.

 

Growth spurts make kids vulnerable because their

bones, muscles, and tendons are growing quickly and

not always at the same time. With exercise,

differences in size and strength between the muscle

groups place unusual stress on the growth plate at the

top of the shinbone. (A growth plate is a layer of

cartilage near the end of a bone where most of the

bone's growth occurs. It is weaker and more vulnerable

to injury than the rest of the bone.)

 

Most parents call the doctor after their child

complains of intermittent pain over several months.

The pain may be anywhere from mild and felt only

during activity to severe and constant.

 

Other symptoms may include:

 

* pain that worsens with exercise

* relief from pain with rest

* swelling or tenderness under the knee and over

the shinbone

* limping after exercise

* tightness of the muscles surrounding the knee

(the hamstring and quadriceps muscles)

 

Symptoms that are not typical of OSD include pain at

rest, thigh pain, or very severe pain that awakens

kids from sleep or makes them cry. If your child

experiences any of these symptoms, talk to your

doctor.

How Is It Treated?

 

OSD usually goes away by age 18 or when a teenager's

bones mature. Until then, only the symptoms need

treatment. Rest is the key to pain relief. Parents

find it a cruel irony that the most active kids are

most likely to get OSD — and also the ones least

likely to rest the affected area.

 

In mild cases, doctors advise that kids limit the

activities that cause pain.

 

Long-term consequences of OSD are usually minor. Some

kids may have a permanent, painless bump below the

knee. In rare cases, they may develop a painful, bony

growth below the kneecap that must be surgically

removed. About 60% of adults who had OSD as kids

experience some pain with kneeling.

Pranic Healing:

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. General sweeping with LWG.

Continue sweeping and rescanning alternately until

the energy is clean and stable.

chakras. Energize with LWR.

 

7. Stabilize and release projected energy.

 

8. Repeat treatment 3 times per week for as long as

over used for at least 3 weeks.
