What are the treatment methods for sports injuries?

I believe that many of my friends maintain the good habit of exercising every day. Exercising regularly can not only enhance our physical fitness, but also effectively help us lose weight and improve our body shape. Although it is highly recommended that everyone exercise, sports injuries are inevitable due to unexpected factors and excessive exercise during the exercise process. So what are the ways to deal with it?

1. Abrasion: abrasion of the skin's epidermis. If the abrasion is shallow, just apply mercurochrome; if the abrasion is dirty or bleeding, use saline solution 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 known 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. Avoid rubbing or applying 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, Chinese patent medicines that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling and relieve pain can be used, plus physical therapy.

4. Sprain: It is caused by sudden and violent twisting of the joint, which causes the ligaments attached to the outside of the joint to tear. It often occurs in the ankle, knee, wrist and waist.

5. Dislocation: dislocation of the joint. Once dislocation occurs, the patient should be advised to remain quiet and not move, and not to rub the dislocated part. After proper fixation, the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment.
