What causes synovitis of the foot?

The human joint is an important part that connects the human skeleton. There are many tissues around the joints, among which the synovium is a very important tissue, because the main function of the synovium is to secrete mucus to make the joints move better. However, since the synovium is easily infected by viruses and other conditions that cause synovitis, synovitis is very likely to occur in the joints. So what causes synovitis in the feet?

The membrane is one of the main structures that make up the joint. Therefore, all synovial diseases occur in the joints. Synovitis is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the synovial tissue within the joint. So, how should we treat heel synovitis?

Why does the heel get synovitis? A large part of the reason is caused by improper wearing of shoes, part of it is direct violent injury, or even excessive flexion, extension, outward extension, external rotation and other movements of the joints. Repeated, long-term and continuous friction and pressure cause damage to the synovitis, causing inflammation and thickening, thereby inducing the occurrence of heel synovitis.

When treating heel synovitis, the frequency of injections should be reduced as much as possible. Excessive injections will stimulate the proliferation of subsynovial connective tissue fibers and aging of the synovial tissue, which will significantly reduce the regeneration and repair capacity of the synovial tissue, making further treatment more troublesome. Before the swelling disappears, you must not overwork or exercise to avoid injury.

Do you have synovitis in your heel? Currently, there are several treatments for synovitis:

1. Puncture therapy: When there is a lot of joint effusion and tension is high, joint puncture can be performed to completely drain the effusion and blood, and inject sodium hyaluronate into the joint cavity. It is the main component of synovial fluid. Studies have shown that various pathological changes in arthritis are closely related to its reduction and changes in physical and chemical properties.

2. Fixation and exercise therapy: In the early stage, the patient should rest in bed, elevate the affected limb, apply pressure with an elastic bandage, and prohibit weight bearing. During the treatment, you can do quadriceps contraction and relaxation exercises, and in the later stage, you should strengthen knee flexion and extension exercises, which is helpful to eliminate joint effusion, prevent quadriceps atrophy, and prevent recurrence of synovitis.

It has a positive effect in restoring the extension and flexion function of the knee joint.
