A very sore biceps may be caused by muscle strain, ligament strain, trauma, etc. Soreness can be relieved by rest, physical therapy, and medication.
1. Muscle strain: a certain intensity of exercise after a long period of inactivity may lead to strain of the biceps, producing a large accumulation of lactic acid and causing soreness.
In order to relieve the soreness, rest should be paid attention to, avoiding exercise to aggravate the injury. At the same time, physical therapy such as magnetic therapy and infrared laser therapy can be performed to improve local blood circulation and reduce pain. You can also take anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen.
2. Ligament strain: When performing pulling exercises, ligament strain in the upper arm may lead to localized inflammatory reaction and affect the biceps to produce soreness.
In order to relieve the soreness, wax therapy and medium frequency electrical stimulation can be performed to accelerate the body’s metabolism and improve blood flow. Muscle strength can also be improved by performing stretching, resistance, flexion and extension exercises of a certain intensity. Aspirin and other drugs can also be used to improve the pain as prescribed by the doctor.
3. Trauma: The biceps muscle may be damaged under external impact, and soreness may occur. In this case, physical therapy such as intermediate frequency electrical stimulation therapy and microwave therapy can be used to promote tissue repair and blood circulation to reduce pain. Anti-inflammatory painkillers such as diclofenac sodium can be used. Exercises such as pushing a cart or climbing a wall at a certain level of intensity can also be performed to improve local blood flow and relieve soreness.
When biceps pain occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and then to carry out the treatment of the cause.
