Is hot compress effective for synovitis

Synovitis is a common disease that mainly affects middle-aged and elderly people. People with synovitis will experience some inconvenience and pain when moving, which will affect their normal movements. After suffering from synovitis, people will look for some treatment methods, such as plasters, moxibustion, medicines, etc. Hot compress can also treat some bone and joint diseases. Let's learn more about whether hot compress is effective for synovitis?

Drug treatment of synovitis:

① Treatment of synovitis with Chinese medicine: In the acute stage, synovial membrane is damaged and blood stasis accumulates, and the treatment is mainly to disperse blood stasis, promote new blood circulation and reduce swelling. Zhou's Zhi Caotang's synovitis clearing paste adheres to the holistic treatment concept of traditional Chinese medicine. On the one hand, it can quickly reduce inflammation and swelling. On the other hand, it stimulates the nerve endings of the synovial tissue, accelerates the circulation of qi and blood in the affected joints, and rebalances the secretion and absorption of synovial fluid, so that the synovium can restore the normal ecology of the patient before the disease, achieving the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root cause of synovitis. It is the best medicine for treating synovitis. ② Western medicine treatment for synovitis generally adopts fluid drainage, local injection, pressure bandage, and antibiotics to control the disease. If the inflammation is not completely eliminated, the accumulated fluid will continue to increase and the condition will gradually become chronic, with synovial hypertrophy, fibrous calcification, joint adhesion and limited function. Long-term use of antibiotics will produce drug resistance and should not be used for a long time.

The best treatment for synovitis is:

The main thing is physical therapy: common physical therapies include infrared irradiation, magnetic therapy, heat therapy, hydrotherapy, etc. Physical therapy for synovitis has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, blood circulation promotion and other effects. However, this method is only suitable for early patients and has limited effect. It is only a temporary solution and not a cure. Drug treatment: Drugs are a common treatment method. This method is mainly used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic purposes. The effect is relatively slow, and after the drug effect wears off, the disease can easily relapse. Minimally invasive treatment: Laser needle knife release is a very good treatment method. This method is a minimally invasive method. It uses laser to enter the lesion and then form a laser reaction source locally. This method has the effects of improving local blood circulation, enhancing metabolism and immune function, activating cell proliferation, promoting regeneration and repair of bone tissue, eliminating tissue adhesion, and preventing scar formation. It is currently the best method for treating synovitis.

Hot compress for synovitis:

If synovitis is not in the acute stage, hot compress is not needed. If hot compress is needed within 48 hours in the early stage, symptomatic treatment is required. You can also take drugs such as Fenbid capsules or Voltaren tablets and closed injections. It is important to pay attention to rest. Do not catch cold. Generally, this situation is basically due to blockage of meridians caused by old trauma or accumulation of dampness and cold (severe cases will cause hyperplasia or bone spurs), and body fluids cannot circulate normally, which accumulates in the knee area and causes aseptic inflammation (some patients will not have fluid accumulation, but will feel soreness). For this disease, it is recommended to apply Xu's Bone Spur Elimination for external treatment. The medicine is mainly composed of natural herbs such as Xanthium sibiricum, Ligustrum lucidum, Shaojiu, and borneol. It has the functions of reducing swelling and relieving pain, softening rickets, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and promoting meridians and activating collaterals. It is mainly used for: bone spurs and periarthritis of the shoulder.
