How to treat fasciitis effectively

Fasciitis can be treated in a variety of ways, including medication, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications to reduce pain, relieve inflammation, and improve comfort and mobility.

1. Drug treatment

Medication is a common method of treating myofasciitis, relieving symptoms by reducing inflammation and relieving pain.

① Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): such as ibuprofen and naproxen, can effectively reduce inflammation and pain, but long-term use should be avoided.

② Local hormone injection: such as glucocorticoid injection, can quickly reduce inflammation, but it should not be used frequently to avoid causing tissue degeneration.

③Muscle relaxants: such as baclofen, can help relieve muscle tension and pain, but you must take the medicine according to the doctor's advice.

2Physical therapy and rehabilitation

Physical therapy can improve the pain and limited mobility of fasciitis and promote tissue repair.

① Hot or cold compress: Hot compress helps relax muscles and improve blood circulation, while cold compress is suitable for the acute inflammation stage and can reduce swelling and pain.

②Massage therapy: Use manual techniques to loosen tense fascia tissue, reduce pain sensitivity, and promote the excretion of metabolic waste.

③Ultrasound therapy: Using ultrasonic energy to stimulate the repair of fascia tissue can relieve chronic pain. The frequency of physical therapy is usually determined by a specialist depending on the severity of the condition.

3. Lifestyle Adjustments

Daily scientific management is also crucial for the recovery of fasciitis.

① Moderate exercise: Low-intensity resistance training, such as yoga or Pilates, can help stretch fascia and enhance muscle strength and flexibility.

② Pay attention to your posture: adjust bad sitting, standing or gait posture, avoid maintaining a single posture for a long time, and reduce repeated pulling on the fascia.

③Dietary adjustment: Increase the intake of anti-inflammatory foods, such as fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fruits rich in vitamin C such as oranges and kiwis, and reduce the intake of sugary and high-fat foods to reduce inflammatory responses.

If the symptoms of fasciitis persist or seriously affect your life, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and have a professional doctor develop a personalized treatment plan to help relieve symptoms quickly and effectively.
