Congenital tendinitis can be alleviated through methods such as massage or heat application, which help improve blood circulation and thereby provide some therapeutic benefit. If recurrent pain occurs, corticosteroid injection therapy may be required to achieve symptom relief. Should conservative treatment fail to improve the condition, surgical intervention becomes necessary.
