Treatment of sacroiliitis

Sacroiliitis is a branch of osteoarthritis in arthritis. In most cases, sacroiliitis does not occur alone. It is often caused by other joint diseases, accompanied by obvious pain, joint stiffness, and sometimes even difficulty in movement. It will directly affect our life and work schedule. Let us now learn about the methods of treating sacroiliitis.

Sacroiliitis is often caused by other diseases, and we cannot judge it based solely on surface phenomena. If we want to treat it scientifically and effectively, we must pay attention to a thorough examination before making a judgment.

1. Promote disease prevention knowledge and protect joints : First of all, patients should be aware of the disease. Physical exercise should be done gradually to prevent excessive exercise and weight-bearing of joints and to avoid mechanical injuries to the joints. In severe cases, immobilization or plaster fixation should be used to prevent deformity. Reduce weight and use hand grips or a cane to reduce the load on affected joints. Those who are related to their occupation should change their jobs. Exercises that work on the relevant muscle groups can maintain and improve joint mobility to enhance joint stability.

2. Medication method: When you feel pain, you can use aspirin, indomethacin, ibuprofen and other analgesics. Do not use them for a long time to avoid dependence or reduced effect. If it is a local tender point, you can use 1 ml of prednisolone acetate or hydrocortisone acetate, add 5-10 ml of 1% procaine for injection at the painful point, once every 5-7 days, and 3-4 times as a course of treatment. There is also traditional Chinese medicine, and it is recommended not to choose surgery casually.

3. Physical therapy: heat therapy, hydrotherapy, infrared, ultrashort wave, electrical stimulation, etc. can enhance local blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and alleviate pain and other symptoms. Traction therapy is more effective for patients with cervical spondylosis radiculopathy. It can relax muscles, relieve pain, and prevent adhesions between tissues adjacent to the nerve roots. However, it must be performed under the guidance of a specialist.

The above are some methods for treating sacroiliitis. Many people do not actually have more knowledge about this painful disease in life, so generally they even ignore the importance of treatment. However, I hope that after reading the above introduction, everyone can receive scientific and effective treatment.
