Treatment of gluteal fasciitis

Gluteal fasciitis may manifest as localized soreness, pain and discomfort that may radiate to the lateral aspect of the lower extremities. The pain is aggravated when squatting, turning over, lying down or touching the gluteal muscles, and those with acute attacks may have great difficulty walking. Treatment of gluteal fasciitis can be divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Conservative treatment includes oral ibuprofen, diclofenac and physiotherapy, hot compresses, acupuncture, etc. can be used to varying degrees and can relieve symptoms. Local closure can immediately relieve pain and can obtain long-term therapeutic effect. For patients with stubborn and persistent symptoms, surgical treatment is required to remove the lesion in order to cure.
