How to eliminate synovitis effusion

Synovitis can cause fluid accumulation slowly, leading to local expansion and swelling. It will be soft when pressed with the hand, and the adhesion of tissues inside will cause edema in the joints. In this case, you must pay attention to it and use external application combined with physical therapy to slowly eliminate it. If necessary, you can recover by extracting the effusion.

Timely, regular and effective treatment after diagnosis is very important. The early stage of synovitis is generally mainly acute. The use of Western medicine methods, such as hormones, fluid extraction, flushing, antibiotics and other treatments can achieve satisfactory results. If the treatment is not thorough and the best treatment period is missed, the inflammation will gradually turn into a chronic stage, and repeated effusion, synovial hypertrophy and adhesion will affect the function of the joints.

Exercise and health

First of all, you should avoid exercises that cause trauma or strain, and reduce knee weight bearing and flexion and extension activities. Exercising the quadriceps is an important and effective treatment measure. Straight leg raising can promote blood circulation and help absorb joint effusion. Mild knee synovitis generally does not require bed rest and can walk short distances. If the amount of effusion is large, you should rest properly and raise the affected limb to help you recover.

1. Topical therapy

Plaster is a unique flower in traditional Chinese medicine. There are ancient sayings such as "The principle of external treatment is the principle of internal treatment, and the medicine for external treatment is the medicine for internal treatment. The only difference is the method", "Plaster can cure diseases, just like decoction. If used properly, it will work immediately". Because the plaster has a high consistency, it has a series of advantages such as high content of effective ingredients, slow precipitation rate, long-lasting effect, and effective local efficacy. In case of synovitis, Foshoutang ointment must be applied externally. The active ingredients can penetrate the skin to produce effects such as promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, removing blood stasis, unblocking meridians and collaterals, opening up the orifices and penetrating bones, and dispelling wind and cold. It can also regulate the body's yin and yang balance through the drug's meridian function, penetrate the epidermis, stimulate nerve endings, promote local blood microcirculation, strengthen the body, improve physical fitness, and fundamentally and comprehensively target the pathogenesis of synovitis to exert its therapeutic effect, improve the nutrition of tissues around the lesion, play a role in repairing bone diseased tissue, and ultimately achieve the purpose of cure.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Synovitis should be detected and treated early. You can apply Chinese medicine Yutang ointment externally to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, relax muscles and tendons, and relieve inflammation and pain, thereby achieving the purpose of treating both the symptoms and the root cause. During the treatment, you should pay attention to rest more and avoid excessive exercise.

3. Massage therapy
