Treatment is generally available through methods such as ice application and medication. Local ice therapy can be applied after injury to reduce bleeding in the muscle tissue and prevent further swelling and pain. Topical applications like Yunnan Baiyao spray, Shexiang Zhuanggu Plaster, or Wantong Jingu Patch may be used to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. Additionally, oral medications that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and reduce swelling can help resolve local bruising.
