When dealing with contusions, it’s crucial to receive prompt and effective care to manage pain and prevent complications. At M&V San Jose Medical Center, our team of experienced healthcare professionals is equipped to provide the best care for bruises, ensuring that each patient receives personalized attention. Using advanced techniques, we assess the severity of the contusion, apply appropriate treatments to reduce swelling and discomfort, and monitor for any signs of more serious injuries. Our goal is to help you recover quickly and comfortably, with a tailored care plan that addresses your specific needs.
For contusions, our team begins with a detailed assessment to evaluate the extent of the injury. We apply cold compresses to reduce swelling, provide pain relief as needed, and offer guidance on home care. In cases of more severe contusions, we may recommend further testing to rule out underlying damage, ensuring a comprehensive recovery process.
Treating a contusion typically involves a brief assessment and immediate care, taking about 20 to 30 minutes. Most bruises heal within a week or two, depending on severity. Our team ensures that you receive prompt and effective treatment, helping to expedite the healing process and reduce any lingering discomfort.
Apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling and seek medical evaluation if the bruise is severe or painful.
We use cold compresses, pain management strategies, and careful monitoring to ensure that the contusion heals properly without complications.
Most contusions heal within one to two weeks, but the duration may vary depending on the severity of the bruise.
Seek medical attention if the contusion is unusually large, painful, or doesn’t start to improve within a few days, as this could indicate a more serious injury.
While most contusions heal without issue, severe bruises can sometimes lead to complications like hematomas or tissue damage, which we carefully monitor and address.
Following our care instructions, including rest, elevation, and avoiding pressure on the affected area, can help speed up the healing process.
