Recovery from shoulder ligament strain includes shoulder braking, cold and hot compresses, topical medications, and oral medications.
1. Shoulder braking: using a brace for shoulder braking and immobilization to keep the shoulder in a static state can promote the repair and growth of ligament strains.
2. Cold and hot compresses: cold compresses can be applied within 24 hours to reduce swelling and pain, and hot compresses can be applied after 24 hours to promote local blood circulation and facilitate the dissipation of bruises.
3. Topical and oral medications: Topical medications such as diclofenac diethylamide latex and oral medications such as ibuprofen can also help relieve pain and improve symptoms.
The above treatments are suitable for cases where the ligament is not torn or ruptured and the shoulder joint can be moved properly. If there is a tear or rupture of the ligament, surgery is required to repair the ligament. After the ligament is strained, you should avoid sports, lifting heavy objects, etc., while ensuring sufficient rest. In addition, microwave physiotherapy or far infrared physiotherapy can be used to speed up ligament recovery.
Patients are advised to undergo treatment and rehabilitation under the guidance of a doctor.
