Can electromagnetic waves treat synovitis?
Disease description:
I have had periostitis for almost a week. I have been considering undergoing electromagnetic wave therapy at the hospital these days. Can electromagnetic wave therapy treat synovitis?

Electromagnetic waves can serve as an adjunctive therapy for treating synovitis, but they are not the primary treatment method.
Electromagnetic wave therapy may help improve circulation, promote blood supply and metabolism at the affected area, regulate intra-articular pressure, and facilitate the absorption of inflammatory exudate and tissue repair. The therapeutic effects may vary depending on individual differences and the severity of the condition. Treatment for synovitis should also include comprehensive approaches such as medication and physical therapy, and should be conducted under a physician's guidance.
Therefore, although electromagnetic wave therapy may offer some benefit in treating synovitis, it is not the sole or primary treatment. It is recommended to choose the most suitable treatment plan based on a physician's diagnosis.
