Muscle and ligament strains can be treated under a doctor's guidance with non-steroidal analgesic medications, such as sodium diclofenac or ibuprofen sustained-release tablets. Additionally, under medical supervision, treatments like infrared light therapy or low-frequency wave therapy may be used to promote recovery. In severe cases of muscle or ligament strain, surgical intervention may also be considered.
