What are the treatments for sports injuries?

Nowadays, many young people like sports, but sometimes they lack some professional knowledge, which makes it easy for them to get sprained or twisted. When this happens, many people don’t know what to do in an emergency, and lack self-protection awareness. Some accidents can easily lead to problems if they are not treated in time. So what should we do after being injured in sports?

1. Abrasion---abrasions on the epidermis of the skin. If the abrasion is shallow, just apply mercurochrome; if the abrasion is dirty or bleeding, use saline to clean the wound and then apply mercurochrome or gentian violet.

2. Muscle strain---refers to the injury caused by tearing of muscle fibers. It is mainly caused by excessive exercise or insufficient warm-up. The severity of the injury can be determined by the degree of pain. Once pain occurs, stop exercising immediately and apply ice or a cold towel to the painful point for 30 minutes to allow the small blood vessels to contract and reduce local congestion and edema. Don't

Rub and apply hot compress.

3. Contusion--- Tissue damage caused by blunt force trauma to a part of the body. Mild injuries do not require special treatment. After 24 hours of cold compress treatment, you can use a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing agent, and a local analgesic plaster can be applied. Apply cold compress on the first day after the injury and hot compress on the second day. It will be absorbed and disappear after about a week. For more serious contusions, apply Yunnan Baiyao mixed with white wine to the injured area and bandage it. Change the dressing every other day, 2-3 times a day, and add physical therapy.

4. Sprain: It is caused by sudden and sharp twisting of the joint, which twists the ligaments and tendons attached to the outside of the joint. Mostly occurs in the ankle, knee,

The treatment methods for sprains in different parts of the wrist and waist are different.

5. Dislocation---that is, dislocation of the joint. Once a dislocation occurs, the patient should be advised to remain quiet, not to move, and not to rub the dislocated area.

Loving sports is certainly a good thing, but if we understand these emergency measures, we can deal with such situations if they happen around us, reduce some unnecessary pain, prevent further deterioration of the injury, and it is also beneficial for the recovery of injuries, so we should master the content introduced above well.
