Dr. Xu Ge
Muscle strain is a type of acute sports injury. Some patients may experience muscle fiber tears, primarily caused by excessive exercise. If pain occurs, physical activity should be stopped immediately. Local cold compression should then be applied to reduce local congestion and swelling. Patients may also receive traditional Chinese medical therapies such as acupuncture and massage, which can help alleviate swelling and pain, promote blood circulation, and facilitate tissue repair.
