Contusions occur when tissue is injured from blunt force trauma, causing blood vessels to rupture and blood to flow into surrounding tissues. Common causes include contact sports, falls, or crushing the area against a hard surface. Symptoms include pain, bruising, swelling, and decreased mobility. Treatment involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation to reduce swelling. As bleeding and swelling subside, heat treatments can be used, and massage and stretching can aid recovery.
