3. Steroids and splinting
Using steroids and splinting together is often the best conservative option for treating conditions such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or tennis elbow. This method has been proven to be effective in many cases and can help reduce inflammation and pain, as well as promote healing.
Steroids are anti-inflammatory medications that can reduce swelling and pain, while splinting immobilizes the affected area, allowing it to rest and heal. When used together, steroids and splinting can provide a much-needed break from the discomfort of tendonitis and other conditions, allowing the body to heal so that patients can resume their normal activities.
