After more than 24 hours, local hot compress treatment can be given. Next, local physiotherapy apparatus can be given to bake electricity, or external application of blood-stasis ointment treatment, and local physiotherapy such as acupuncture, moxibustion, acupuncture point herbal iontophoresis, etc. can be given to improve local blood circulation and microcirculation and reduce the degree of swelling and pain.
