Contusions, commonly known as bruises, result from impact injuries that cause discoloration, pain, and swelling. At Sanavital Medical Center in Doral, FL, we provide expert care for contusions, ensuring proper evaluation and management to prevent further complications. Our goal is to reduce discomfort and speed up the healing process.
While contusions often heal on their own, more severe cases may require medical attention to rule out underlying damage. Our team at Sanavital Medical Center offers personalized treatment plans, including pain management, rest advice, and proper care, to help you recover swiftly and safely.
Our specialists at Sanavital Medical Center begin by assessing the severity of your contusion through physical examination. We recommend rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) therapy to reduce swelling and pain. In more severe cases, imaging tests may be used to check for internal injuries, and pain relief medications are prescribed as needed.
Most contusions heal within 1 to 2 weeks. However, Sanavital Medical Center provides care to ensure the healing process is smooth and that there are no lasting complications from the injury.
While most bruises heal on their own, severe contusions may cause underlying damage, such as muscle injury. Sanavital Medical Center offers thorough evaluations to prevent and treat any complications that may arise.
Avoid putting pressure on the affected area and refrain from activities that could worsen the injury. Sanavital Medical Center provides personalized advice on how to safely recover from a contusion.
