How to treat back pain fasciitis
Disease description:
I often experience pain in my upper back. A few days ago, I moved some heavy objects, and the soreness became very severe. I applied medicated patches, but my condition did not improve. After visiting the hospital for a diagnosis, I was told I have back muscle fasciitis. May I ask, how is back muscle fasciitis treated?

Dr. Xu Shuai
The treatment for back myofasciitis may include the following methods:
1. Medication: Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as celecoxib capsules and meloxicam, can be used, but must be taken under a doctor's guidance to avoid adverse reactions. Topical anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointments or plasters, such as compound methyl salicylate cream, can also be applied locally, following medical advice.
2. Muscle relaxation: In daily life, movements involving bending and hunching should be minimized. Muscles and fascia can be relaxed through physical therapy, hot compresses, heat lamp therapy, and other methods to improve local circulation and reduce inflammation.
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): TCM massage techniques such as grasping, kneading,拨 (deep tissue manipulation), and tapping, as well as cupping and acupuncture, can be used to promote blood circulation and relieve pain.
4. Other treatments: If the pain is severe, treatments such as small needle knife therapy or local nerve block injections may be considered to reduce adhesions and aseptic inflammation caused by myofasciitis, thereby alleviating pain.
