How to Get Rid of Muscle Inflammation in the Shortest Possible Time?
For the muscle inflammation, the first thing is to put cold compresses on the inflamed muscles, which achieves better drainage. And thus speeds up recovery. Also, a massage with Biofreeze gel that cools the muscle is a great choice. We offer herbal gels, Alpine cream Alpenkrauter, as well as drugs based on anti-inflammatory and analgesic gel, which are effective in case of stronger muscle inflammation, as well as sports injuries.
Tablets based on acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin), paracetamol (Paracetamol), diclofen (Diclofenac retard) and other analgesics are available as a quick solution if the pain is more intense. However, if the pain does not stop after seven days, it is necessary to perform a medical examination, in order to eliminate the possibility of a stretched tendon or some more serious injury.
Everyone knows the saying: “A wedge breaks a wedge”, so you should return to training as soon as possible. In the meantime, try to eliminate excess lactic acid from your muscles as soon as possible with the help of stretching and low-intensity exercises and speed up your recovery from inflamed muslces.
Can we prevent muscle inflammation?
Proper warm-up and well-adjusted training can prevent muscle inflammation. If you have just started training, introduce new exercises gradually, and increase the intensity of training slowly and carefully. You should never end your training abruptly, but with the obligatory stretching exercises.
Lastly, don’t forget about water intake during physical activity, and a healthy diet and organic products like Relief Factor.
Severe muscle inflammation is a sign that there has been damage to muscles fibers and is a training error. However, moderate muscle inflammation is a stimulus for muscle growth and increased strength. The good news is that when you do the same activity again, your muscles will start to get used to it and the inflammation will no longer occur. Or the intensity of the inflammation, and thus the pain, will gradually decrease.
Muscle inflammation or ligament injury?
To differentiate between muscle inflammation and ligament injury, pay attention to the type of pain. In case of muscle inflammation, the pain affects the whole muscle. The injury of the ligaments is indicated by a sharp pain at the attachment of the muscles and bones. The pain due to the inflammation of the muscles passes after a couple of days. The ligament injury is a more serious condition, it lasts longer and it is necessary to seek the advice of a doctor. Even if you think that the pain you are feeling is a consequence of muscle inflammation, but it does not go away even after a few days, contact your doctor.
