Will synovitis heal on its own?

Synovitis is a very common joint disease. Once the disease occurs, the joints will have symptoms such as swelling, pain, joint effusion, and limited movement, which seriously affect the normal function of the joints. For some patients, the symptoms of synovitis are not very serious, perhaps just some pain. Because they don’t understand synovitis, they hope to recover on their own. So, will synovitis heal on its own? Let’s take a closer look below.

Synovitis cannot heal itself and is one of the common symptoms of the knee joint. The main cause is fatigue and cold. Because it is a sterile inflammation, general anti-inflammatory drugs have no effect.

treat

1. Early treatment

Treatment is generally with rest and oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

2. Fixation

If the affected limb is immobilized, the immobilization time should not be too long to avoid severe muscle atrophy and joint stiffness, and functional exercises should be performed under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Manual therapy

Manual therapy is usually used to improve joint function and has no direct therapeutic effect on synovitis.

4. Functional exercise

The main purpose of functional exercise is to delay the complications of functional impairment and muscle atrophy caused by synovitis.

5. Surgery

For cases that fail to respond to conservative treatment or where the diagnosis is unclear, arthroscopy and arthroscopic synovectomy should be actively considered.

prevention

1. Control your own diet structure to avoid excessive intake of acidic substances, which will aggravate your acidic constitution. The acid-base balance of the diet is a very important part in the treatment of synovitis and the prevention and treatment of complications. In terms of diet, you should eat more foods rich in animal organic active alkali, eat less meat and more vegetables.

2. Regular outdoor exercise and sweating can help eliminate excess acidic substances in the body, thereby preventing the occurrence of synovitis. But avoid excessive fatigue and keep warm. Pay attention to adjusting your clothing and protecting the knee joint where synovitis is prone to occur. Don't be addicted to air conditioning. Pay more attention to physical exercise to better prevent synovitis.

3. Maintain a good mood and do not have too much psychological pressure. Too much pressure will lead to the deposition of acidic substances. Proper adjustment of mood and personal stress can maintain a weak alkaline constitution, thereby preventing the occurrence of synovitis.
