Therefore, how to deal with shoulder ligament sprain has always been the topic of most concern. In fact, after shoulder ligament sprain, you only need to follow the treatment method of sports injury.

The methods to deal with common sports injuries are: "cold compress" and "heat attack", combining Chinese and Western medicine, and be sure to pay attention to the timing of treatment.

"Cold compress" is cryotherapy, which uses cold water, ice cubes, etc. that are lower than the human body temperature to stimulate the affected area for initial treatment. It has the effects of stopping bleeding, reducing fever, relieving pain, anesthesia and reducing swelling. The method is to soak a towel in cold water and place it on the injured area, changing it every two minutes or so; or put ice cubes in a plastic bag and apply it externally. In the event of acute closed soft tissue injuries such as contusion, joint ligament sprain, early muscle strain, etc., this method can cause blood vessels to constrict, reduce local congestion, inhibit sensory nerves, and relieve symptoms.

Cryotherapy is suitable for acute closed soft tissue injuries, such as contusions, joint ligament sprains, early muscle strains, etc. This method is more effective within 24 to 48 hours after the injury, but after this time, hot compress treatment should be adopted. ”

"Heat attack" is to promote local vascular dilation through heat therapy, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, promote the absorption of blood stasis and exudate, and has the effects of reducing swelling, dispersing blood stasis, relieving pain, relieving analgesia, reducing adhesion and promoting injury healing. A common method is to soak a towel in hot water or hot vinegar and place it on the injured area for about 30 minutes each time. Hot compress therapy is suitable for mid-term, late-term and chronic injuries of acute closed soft tissue injuries.

Cold compress and hot attack can effectively deal with early sports injuries. But for some old injuries, it is necessary to combine Chinese and Western medicine to better eliminate the root cause. These methods include Chinese medicine therapy and Western medicine surgery.

Traditional Chinese medicine therapy mainly utilizes the different pharmacological properties of various herbs, and through external application, it achieves the effects of reducing fever, reducing swelling, relieving pain, relaxing muscles, and promoting new growth.
