How to Manage Closed Soft Tissue Injuries
Disease description:
My cousin has been diagnosed with a closed soft tissue injury. How should this condition be managed?
Patients with closed soft tissue injuries can be managed in the following ways:
1. If symptoms are mild, improvement can be achieved through ice application, and elevation of the affected limb may also help alleviate symptoms.
2. If symptoms are more severe, anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications may be used appropriately under a physician’s guidance to facilitate recovery.
