Do Muscle Strains Cause Bruising?
Muscle strain is the most common injury we all have experienced at some point in our lives. It may occur after a strenuous workout, a sudden movement, or lifting something a little too heavy. It is characterised by pain and limited range of motion. But have you ever noticed a bruise forming afterwards? The most common question that pops up in your mind is, “Do muscle strains cause bruising?”.
The short answer to this question is yes, but not always. Because bruising from a muscle strain happens in some cases, depending on the severity of the injury.
ANF Therapy®️ is an advanced treatment approach for addressing muscle strain and bruises. It utilises small ANF Devices that aim to reduce inflammation, promote the natural healing process and increase muscle strength. This holistic approach is gaining momentum nowadays.
Let’s explore why this bruise occurs and how you manage it with ANF Therapy®️ without any medications and surgery.
Why does muscle strain cause bruising?
A bruise is the most common symptom following an injury. It is characterised by discolouration around the injured area. It happens when you overstretch your muscles beyond their limits or due to trauma. The small blood vessels (capillaries) around the muscles rupture, and blood leaks out and begins to pool under the skin, resulting in skin discolouration.
Bruising usually occurs near the injured area and varies in colour as it heals.
- Red or purple colour indicates the fresh injury and fresh blood under the skin.
- Blue or dark purple colour happens when the pooled blood starts breaking down.
- Yellow and green indicate healing, as in this stage, the body starts absorbing the blood.
How Can You Identify Bruising From a Muscle Strain?
Bruising caused by muscle strain has specific characteristics.
1-Delayed onset:
Bruising does not appear soon after the injury. It takes hours or days to pool blood under the skin, depending upon the severity of the injury.
2-Location of Discoloration:
Bruising usually occurs near the site of the injury. However, a strain in the hamstring might cause bruising along the back of the thigh.
3-Color changes:
The bruise evolves, starting as a reddish-purple and turning green or yellow as it heals.
4-Associated Symptoms:
Depending on the severity of the injury, bruising is associated with swelling, tenderness, pain, and reduced mobility of the affected muscle.
Do All Muscle Strains Cause Bruising?
Not all muscle strains cause bruising. It depends on:
1-Severity of the Strain:
Mild strains do not cause bruising. In mild strain, there is minimal muscle tearing and no significant damage to blood vessels. However, moderate and severe strains are most likely to damage the blood capillaries leading to bruising.
2-Location of the Injury:
Bruising also depend upon the location of the injury. Areas with a high blood supply are more likely to have bruises than other areas.
3-Individual Factors:
Bruising also depends upon your age, skin tone, and your body’s own response to injury. Individuals with thin skin, like older individuals, are more likely to have bruises than others with thick skin.
