What is the difference between white turmeric and yellow turmeric in treating knee pain?

Back pain may be from muscle strains to slipped discs or arise from certain joints or nerves. The pain generator in back pain may sometimes be difficult to identify. Usually your doctor will order an MRI of the corresponding area to ensure insidious or life threatening causes are ruled out. Generally, the first stop would be your friendly orthopedic spine surgeon. Once they have ensured that operable causes are ruled out, they may enlist a physiotherapist to help you gain awareness in the painful area.

Thank you for the enquiry. First and foremost, it is important that a proper assessment be done, so that we may pinpoint the cause of your knee pain. Causes include degeneration of the cartilage, bone spurs, ligament wear and tear, obesity, deformations etc. Nevertheless, painful conditions such as arthritis of the knee, can be effectively managed with TCM, especially acupuncture. If you have not heard about it, acupuncture has been recognised by World Heath Organization as an effective modality for pain management.
