Proximity spinal disease is a chronic inflammation disease, which mainly infringes the central axial bones, such as the hips, the spinal cords, and can be exhausted to the outside joints, of which the finger joints are not uncommon. Patients are often extremely concerned about recovery when direct spinal disease leads to finger deformation.
In general, it is very difficult to fully restore normal pre-disease patterns once a more visible deformation of the finger has been caused by a direct spinal disease. This is due to the persistence of joint inflammation during the course of the disease, the gradual erosion of the joint cartilage, the bone and the surrounding soft tissue, leading to changes in the joint structure. These pathological changes are irreversible, for example, the wear and tear of joint cartilage, the growth of bones, the fibrosis of joints and radical cords, and the convulsion of ligatures.
This does not mean, however, that the patient is left to die. Active and effective treatment can, to some extent, improve the function and symptoms of the finger and prevent further deformation. The timely application of drug treatment is crucial at an early stage of a disease. Common inflammatory drugs, such as scaffolds, can mitigate arthritis, pain and swelling, and can be instrumental in controlling progress. Rheumatizing drugs such as nitrous sulfon can intervene in diseases at the immuno-regulating level to slow down joint damage. In the case of more serious cases or poor response to conventional drug treatment, the application of biological agents, such as tumour cause-of-mortem stressants, can more accurately inhibit inflammation responses, and may have a better effect on improving joint function and preventing deformation.
In addition to drug treatment, rehabilitation training is indispensable. For finger joints, a number of simple functional exercises can be performed, such as the stretching of the finger and the unhandling of the fist, which can be repeated several times a day to maintain the current activity of the joint and to prevent it from becoming more rigid. Physical therapy, such as hot dressing, massages, acupuncture, etc., can also assist. Thermal dressing facilitates the circulation of the blood of the finger joints and relieves muscle spasms; massage helps to relax the nervous tissue around the joints; and acupuncture can alleviate pain and inflammation by regulating the body ‘ s arterial blood.
In daily life, care and maintenance of the hand is also required. Avoid overuse of finger joints, and prevent excessive pressure on fingers during lifting or long periods of fine manual work. Watch out for arm warmness, cold irritation may increase joint pain and inflammation, wear gloves, etc.
Although it is difficult to fully recover from the deformation of the fingers caused by direct spinal disease, a combination of treatment, rehabilitation training and day-to-day maintenance can significantly improve the functioning of the fingers, reduce the suffering of the patients, improve the quality of life, enable them to better adapt to the changes caused by the disease and, as far as possible, maintain the mobility and independence of the hands. Patients should develop a positive treatment attitude, work closely with doctors, develop individualized treatment and rehabilitation programmes and stay in place.
