Can ligament injuries be cured with Chinese medicine?

Ligament injuries have some efficacy with Chinese medicine, but if it is a serious ligament injury, it cannot be completely cured by Chinese medicine. Ligament injuries can be categorized into ligament injuries of the first degree, second degree and third degree. Ligament injuries of the first degree are often only ligament peripheral injuries, with a small number of ligament fiber tears, accompanied by local pressure and pain, without joint instability, this situation can be treated by pain relief, ice packs, compression bandages and other methods, 24 hours after the injury, can be used to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis (to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis in the body) of traditional Chinese medicine to carry out the treatment. Ligament injuries of degree II often have more fibers torn and can be accompanied by mild to moderate joint instability, while ligament injuries of degree III are complete rupture of the ligament, accompanied by significant joint instability. These two types of ligament injuries are more serious due to the more severe instability of the joint, and may require surgical repair of the ligaments with bone rivulets or ligament reconstruction in order to be cured. If a ligament injury is diagnosed, follow your doctor’s instructions.
