It is very important to deal with joint ligament sprain correctly in the early stage. Because ligament tissue is not easy to regenerate and recover, if it turns into a chronic disease due to improper treatment or misdiagnosis, it may leave dysfunction and be easy to sprain again in the future.
After the occurrence of acute injury, activities should be stopped immediately to reduce bleeding. Rinse the injured area with cold water immediately, or compress the wound with ice to stop bleeding. Then cover the bandage and press hard to prevent swelling. If the ligament is completely broken or suspected to be complicated with fracture, you must consult a doctor for further examination and then treat it after pressure dressing. After 24 ~ 48 hours, the bleeding in the injured area has stopped. At this time, you can use a warm towel for hot compress or massage to reduce swelling and promote blood absorption. When warm and hot compress, the temperature should not be too high, the time should not be too long, and the massage should not be too heavy, so as not to aggravate exudation, edema or rebleeding. In order to promote the recovery of joint function, we should pay attention to the combination of motion and static, and carry out painless activities at an early stage. After the basic recovery, it is necessary to strengthen the strength training of muscles around the joints and improve the relative stability of the joints.
