Our approach to treating bruises begins with a thorough examination to assess the injury’s severity. We apply ice to reduce swelling and manage pain. Depending on the bruise’s extent, we may recommend rest, elevation, and over-the-counter pain relief. We’ll also provide guidance on at-home care to speed up your recovery.
Treating a bruise at our facility typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes, depending on its severity. The bruise itself usually takes 1 to 2 weeks to heal. We provide timely care and clear instructions to help you manage your symptoms and speed up recovery.
Applying ice, elevating the injured area, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage pain and discomfort.
Most bruises can be treated at home, but if you experience severe pain, swelling, or if the bruise does not improve, seek medical attention.
While most bruises are minor, severe bruising or persistent symptoms may indicate underlying damage. A medical evaluation can rule out more serious issues.
Apply ice to reduce swelling, keep the bruised area elevated, and rest. Avoid strenuous activities that could aggravate the injury.
Seek medical care if the bruise is unusually large, painful, or if you have difficulty moving the injured area. Persistent symptoms should also be evaluated.
It’s best to avoid activities that could worsen the bruise. Gentle exercises may be fine, but listen to your body and rest if necessary.
