How to treat fasciitis and tendonitis

Fasciitis and tendonitis are two distinct conditions, both of which can be treated to relieve symptoms through physical, medicinal, or surgical methods.

1. Physical Therapy

For fasciitis, infrared therapy or extracorporeal shock wave therapy administered by a professional physician can help dilate blood vessels, improve blood circulation, and facilitate the removal of inflammatory substances to alleviate symptoms. In the early stages of tendonitis, local ice application can reduce swelling, while treatments such as acupuncture and heat therapy—performed under the guidance of a qualified physician—can enhance blood circulation, relieve pain, and promote tissue healing.

2. Medication

When pain arises from fasciitis or tendonitis, anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications such as celecoxib capsules, diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, or aspirin enteric-coated tablets may be taken under a doctor's supervision.

3. Surgical Treatment

In severe cases of fasciitis, procedures such as soft tissue release or plantar fascia incision, performed by a skilled physician, can relieve pressure and reduce pain. For severe tendonitis, longitudinal incision of the constricted tendon sheath surgery may be performed under medical supervision to alleviate pain symptoms.

During treatment, it is recommended to consume more high-quality protein-rich foods and reduce intake of spicy and irritating foods, which may help relieve symptoms.
