Patient's question:
I don't know what's wrong with my body, I've been feeling uncomfortable for a long time. The doctor examined me and prescribed many medications. I found out that I have periostitis, so I want to ask: What causes periostitis? What are the treatment methods? Is it treatable?Doctor's answer:
Hello, periostitis may be caused by cold factor stimulation, prolonged weight-bearing fatigue, or chronic overuse, leading to mechanical friction-induced periostitis. For this condition, it is important to rest and avoid overexertion. Acupuncture treatment, medium-frequency pulse treatment, and shortwave treatment can be used in combination with topical ointments and oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Pay attention to local care during daily life.
