Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a 56-year-old middle-aged woman. Recently, I was carefully diagnosed with periostitis, so I would like to know what are the treatment methods for periostitis? Which treatment method has the best effect and the shortest treatment time?Doctor's answer:
Periostitis is primarily caused by trauma or chronic overuse, leading to the recurrence of aseptic inflammation due to periosteal damage. It can cause local swelling and pain, as well as restricted joint movement. Any treatment requires a certain amount of time to achieve complete recovery, so patience is necessary. Acupuncture, physiotherapy, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used in combination for manual techniques, stretching, and massage therapy. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to preventing cold exposure in daily life.
