This condition is characterized by symptoms such as limited mobility, soreness, fatigue, pain, and numbness. Therefore, once these symptoms appear, it is important to promptly visit a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. For treating this disease, the first step typically involves taking blood-activating and meridian-unblocking medications, such as Huoxue Xiaotong Capsules, along with topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic plasters. If treatments like infrared physical therapy patches are ineffective, local block therapy may be considered. If there is still no improvement, small needle knife therapy can be an option.
