How to treat wrist ligament sprain?

Ligaments are soft tissues in the joints of the human body. The main function of ligaments is to allow the joints of the human body to bend. Generally, ligaments are on the surface of the joint bones of the human body. In daily life, many people are prone to ligament sprains during strenuous exercise. Wrist ligament sprain is a relatively common condition and can be treated with conservative treatment or corrective surgery.

Wrist ligament strain

Ligaments are tissues that connect two bones. It is a flexible, fibrous, dense connective tissue. It attaches to the movable part of the bone but limits its range of motion to prevent injury. In the past, it was generally believed that only athletes with high sports function requirements needed active surgical repair after ligament injury, while others could be treated conservatively.

There are two types of ligament injuries: ligament tear and ligament rupture. Ligament tear: This is when part of a ligament is broken.

Conservative treatment is usually adopted: Wanjin Paste uses the principle of meridian conduction of the human body to make the medicine reach the affected area quickly. It can open up the blood vessels and promote blood circulation in a short time, thereby clearing blood stasis in the affected area and repairing damaged joints and soft tissue areas. At the same time, it can enhance the vitality of body cells and improve the body's physiological defense capabilities. It can treat both the symptoms and the root cause, thus achieving the goal of completely curing ligament sprain.

Ligament rupture

It is usually because during activities, movements beyond the range of joint movement are made, resulting in passive traction of the relevant ligaments and causing tearing or complete rupture. Ligament ruptures are often accompanied by sprains and fractures.

Ligament sprain

Ligament sprain refers to damage to the soft tissues of the limb joints or body (such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, etc.) without fractures, dislocations, skin and flesh damage, etc. The main clinical manifestations are pain and swelling at the injured site and limited joint movement, which often occur in the waist, ankle, knee, shoulder, wrist, elbow and hip.

Ligament contusion

Generally, it is because the movements during activities are beyond the range of joint movement. The degree of ligament injury is not serious, and redness and swelling will appear.

Processing Type

Swelling and bruising will occur at the site of a ligament sprain. The treatment for a ligament sprain is to do the following immediately after the injury:

1. Rest: Stop exercising immediately and do not put any weight on the injured joint.

2. Cold compress: Ice or other cold compresses can help reduce pain and swelling because lowering the temperature can reduce blood circulation. Apply cold compress for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, three to four times a day.

3. Compression: Using bandages or other methods to compress the injured area can reduce bleeding and congestion. The bandage should be just tight enough that you can feel the pressure but not enough to cause numbness or ischemia in your extremities.

4. Raise the affected limb: The main purpose of raising the affected limb is to reduce swelling and promote blood return.
