How is calcific tendinitis treated?
The patient suffers from calcific tendinitis, and conservative treatment can be the first choice. It is necessary to reduce the external stimulus on the local lesion and keep it warm. Apply heat treatments, frequently use spectrum meters for electrotherapy, physiotherapy devices, infrared therapy devices, and lamp treatments. Use traditional Chinese medicine washes that activate blood circulation, relieve stasis, and alleviate muscle pain for steaming and soaking. Increasing the local temperature can unblock normal circulation of Qi and blood, soften the local tendon tissues, and alleviate symptoms such as pain and swelling, and also improve the range of motion locally. If there is a clear pain point locally, closed injection techniques can be used, and small needle knife treatments can be utilized to pry and loosen the area. Alternatively, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, along with strengthening functional exercises at the lesion site, can help in the recovery of the condition.
