What Are Treatments for a Bruised Muscle?
In addition to muscle contusion caused by direct external force, muscle injury is mainly caused by indirect external force. Common strains of the posterior thigh muscles, lower back muscles, and thigh adductor muscles.

- In addition to muscle contusion caused by direct external force, muscle injury is mainly caused by indirect external force. Common strains of the posterior thigh muscles, lower back muscles, and thigh adductor muscles.
- After a muscle injury, the wound becomes painful, swollen, tender, or cramped, making it hard. When the injured muscle makes active contractions or passive stretches, the pain worsens.
Muscle injury treatment
- When the muscle is slightly injured or a small amount of muscle fiber is broken, it should be immediately applied with cold compress, pressure bandage and improve the injured limb. To help complete treatment, it is generally recommended to apply external Chinese medicine after 24 hours, or you can choose pain points for drug injection, physical therapy or massage. When most of the muscle fibers are broken or the muscles are completely broken, the wounded should be taken to the hospital for surgical suture as soon as possible after emergency treatment such as compression bandaging.
Muscle injury prevention measures
- Before strenuous exercise, you should fully prepare for activities, especially warm-up activities in combination with the exercises. Pay attention to muscle response during exercise. If muscle stiffness or fatigue occurs, massage or reduce exercise intensity. It is necessary to grasp the essentials of sports technology reasonably, scientifically and correctly. Pay attention to the temperature, humidity, and sports conditions of the exercise environment. When you participate in exercise after healing, pay attention to step by step to prevent re-injury.
Differential diagnosis of muscle injury
- 1. Muscle soreness: Muscle soreness caused by exercise is a very common injury experience for those involved in exercise. Generally, muscle soreness caused by exercise can be divided into acute muscle soreness and chronic (late muscle soreness). Acute muscle soreness is different from muscle strain, but refers to the soreness caused by temporary ischemia of muscles, which occurs only when the muscles are engaged in intense or long-term activities, and disappears as soon as the muscle activity ends. Usually, acute muscle soreness is accompanied by muscle stiffness.
- 2, muscle injury: muscle: mainly composed of muscle tissue. Muscle cells are slender and fibrous, so muscle cells are often called muscle fibers. Muscle smashing is when an object is crushed to damage the muscle.
- 3. Muscle tear: Muscle strain is injury caused by sharp contraction or excessive stretching of muscles during exercise. This can easily happen during long cymbals, pull-ups, and sit-ups. After a muscle strain, the area of the strain is severely painful. You can feel the cord-like hard mass formed by the muscles with your hands. The pain is obvious, the local swelling or subcutaneous bleeding is obvious, and the activity is obviously restricted. [1]
