How long does it take to heal from a soft tissue contusion

  Soft tissue contusions require a recovery time that is determined by the size and extent of the injury and generally take 2-3 weeks to heal.  Soft tissue contusions are caused by impact to the muscles or skin, resulting in varying degrees of local soft tissue damage. Soft tissue contusions are classified as mild or severe, depending on the injury object and mechanism of injury. Mild contusions, with mild local swelling and pressure pain and no obvious bruising, can generally be fully recovered by recuperation for 2 weeks. For severe soft tissue contusions, because of the relatively large local external force, local skin bruising is obvious, some will also have subcutaneous bruising, local skin blisters, etc., treatment can be local ice packs with ice packs to reduce local bleeding and swelling, after 48 hours can be changed to hot compresses or baking electricity to promote the dissipation of bruising, and oral Panax ginseng tablets, etc., generally about 3 weeks can be good.
