What is the best treatment for Achilles tendon synovitis

Nowadays, many people need to walk a lot every day, and their walking posture is wrong, or they do not do warm-up exercises before, which will lead to foot diseases for many people. Over time, they will suffer from Achilles tendon synovitis. Patients with Achilles tendon synovitis will usually have bone and joint pain, and may even cause effusion and inflammation in the bone and joints. This happens in young women. This is related to the shoes they wear, the number of times they walk, and the position of their activities. Patients with Achilles tendon synovitis can usually repair themselves by using foods that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, regulate the body, and nourish qi and blood. When wearing shoes, try not to put in too high an insole to increase the height. You can wear flat shoes and try to wear sports shoes as soon as possible. Change the habit of wearing high heels. You can usually cooperate with the combination of Chinese and Western medicine for medication treatment to slowly adjust and repair the body.

Diet and health care

What foods are good for the body when it comes to Achilles tendon bursitis: It is advisable to eat foods that can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and have an aromatic and orifice-opening effect, such as Panax notoginseng, hawthorn, Patchouli, Allium macrostemon, shepherd's purse, etc. In addition, eating more fresh vegetables, fruits, and beans is a good choice. You should avoid fried, grilled, overly salty, and overly sweet foods. In the later stage of the disease, it is advisable to eat nutritious foods such as grapes, black beans, wolfberries, longans, turtle meat, etc., and avoid spicy, greasy and other heavy flavors, as well as stimulating foods such as tobacco and alcohol.

Preventive Care

Elevating the heel with an arch support or felt pad removes pressure from the shoe upper. Shoe orthotics (sports heel cups) are needed to control abnormal heel movement.

Pathological etiology

The Achilles tendon insertion point and surrounding soft tissue are located between the calcaneus and the rear upper of the shoe. Long-term and repeated compression and friction between the two cause bursitis.

Heneghan et al. studied Haglund's heel pain syndrome and believed that the bony protrusion of the medial tuberosity of the plantar surface of the calcaneus and the height of the heel play an important role in the occurrence and treatment of Haglund's heel pain.

1. Joints: In addition to lesions in the peripheral joints of the limbs, some of the spine may be affected. Sometimes it can turn into chronic arthritis and severe disability. Based on clinical characteristics, arthritis is divided into five types, 60% of which can be transformed into each other and exist in combination.

(1) Monoarthritis or oligoarthritis accounts for 70% of cases, mainly affecting the distal or proximal interphalangeal (toe) joints of the hands and feet. The knees, ankles, hips, and wrists may also be affected. The distribution is asymmetrical. Due to concomitant synovitis and tenosynovitis of the distal and proximal interphalangeal (toe) joints, the affected fingers (toes) may present a typical sausage-shaped appearance, often accompanied by nail lesions. About 1/3 or even 1/2 of patients with this type of disease may develop into polyarthritis.

(2) Symmetrical polyarthritis accounts for 15% of cases. The lesions are mainly located in the proximal interphalangeal (toe) joints, and may affect the distal interphalangeal (toe) joints and large joints such as the wrist, elbow, knee and ankle joints.

(3) The mutilating arthritis type accounts for about 5% and is a severe type of psoriatic arthritis. It is common in people aged 20 to 30 years. The affected fingers, metacarpals, and metatarsal bones may experience osteolysis, the knuckles often have a telescope-like "overlap" phenomenon, the joints may be ankylosing and deformed, and are often accompanied by fever and sacroiliitis. This type of skin psoriasis is often extensive and severe, and is pustular or erythrodermic.
