Dr. Lin Yunfei
Closed treatment and physical therapy. If the muscle fascia is tense, mild cases may not require immediate treatment and can recover with adequate rest. Severe cases may be treated with local injection therapy (closed treatment) to relieve pain. In cases of ligament strain, medications should be selected according to the degree of inflammation, along with partial physical therapy, while activity should be restricted to prevent complete ligament rupture. Specific treatments must strictly follow the doctor's instructions, and vigorous exercise should be avoided during recovery.
