Soft Tissue Steroid Injections
Soft Tissue Steroid Injections
The treatment of musculoskeletal injuries includes both non-surgical and surgical methods. Non-surgical methods are the initial line of management and include:
- Restriction of movement of the injured part
- Heat or cold treatment that may relieve pain and accelerate repair process
- Exercise and physical therapy to help in stretching the injured muscle
- Medication such as anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics
In cases where non-surgical methods are not effective, surgical repair of the underlying muscle, tendon, or ligament is recommended.
Other Treatment of Lupus
There is no cure for SLE and treatment is aimed at managing the symptoms. Treatment is provided based on the type and severity of the symptoms and includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), anti-malarial drugs, corticosteroid and immunosuppressants. A drug belonging to a new class of drugs called biologics has been recently approved for treatment of mild to moderate SLE.
SLE symptoms may go away completely or flare up suddenly. Thus, frequent and regular heath check-ups are required to manage the disease.
