Las lesiones musculares son muy comunes entre los deportistas, y entre las m\u00e1s frecuentes se encuentran las contusiones y los calambres. Si sufres a menudo calambres o contusiones musculares y te preguntas qu\u00e9 puede estar caus\u00e1ndolos, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southcoast.org\/es\/doctors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nuestros m\u00e9dicos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> en Southcoast Health est\u00e1n aqu\u00ed para usted. Nuestras pr\u00e1cticas que ofrecen <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southcoast.org\/es\/services\/sports-medicine\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">servicios de medicina deportiva<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> en Fall River, Dartmouth, New Bedford, y Wareham, MA, as\u00ed como partes de Rhode Island, proporcionar un tratamiento integral para estas lesiones musculares comunes para que pueda volver a sentirse lo mejor posible tan pronto como sea posible.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 es un calambre muscular?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Un calambre muscular es una contracci\u00f3n involuntaria y forzada de un m\u00fasculo esquel\u00e9tico. Un \"caballo de la calle\" es un ejemplo de calambre muscular com\u00fan. Los calambres musculares suelen afectar a los m\u00fasculos de la pantorrilla, los isquiotibiales en la parte posterior del muslo y los cu\u00e1driceps en la parte anterior del muslo. La mayor\u00eda de los calambres musculares no son graves y no requieren tratamiento.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 es una contusi\u00f3n muscular?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Una contusi\u00f3n muscular es un hematoma, y son el segundo <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southcoast.org\/es\/services\/sports-medicine\/sports-injuries\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lesi\u00f3n deportiva<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> detr\u00e1s de las distensiones. La mayor\u00eda de las contusiones musculares son leves, se curan r\u00e1pidamente y puede que ni siquiera obliguen a los deportistas a interrumpir sus actividades. Cuando las contusiones musculares son graves, pueden causar da\u00f1os en los tejidos profundos, y la recuperaci\u00f3n puede llevar meses de reposo.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00bfCu\u00e1les son las causas de los calambres y contusiones musculares?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Una contusi\u00f3n muscular es el resultado de un golpe directo en un m\u00fasculo, como un impacto con una pelota, una raqueta u otro objeto duro. Esta fuerza aplasta las fibras musculares y el tejido conjuntivo sin romper la piel, lo que puede dar lugar a un doloroso hematoma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los m\u00e9dicos no comprenden del todo la causa de los calambres musculares, pero entre los factores que contribuyen a que se produzcan pueden figurar los siguientes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deshidrataci\u00f3n y p\u00e9rdida de electrolitos<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estiramientos inadecuados: los estiramientos regulares alargan las fibras musculares y ayudan a prevenir los calambres.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatiga muscular<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S\u00edntomas de lesiones musculares comunes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Es muy importante conocer los s\u00edntomas de estas lesiones deportivas comunes para poder buscar tratamiento (si es necesario) antes de que la lesi\u00f3n empeore y afecte a su capacidad para practicar su deporte. Los s\u00edntomas de una contusi\u00f3n muscular incluyen:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Un bulto o nudo en el lugar de la lesi\u00f3n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rango de movimiento limitado<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dolor<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decoloraci\u00f3n de la piel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hinchaz\u00f3n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los calambres musculares pueden durar desde segundos hasta muchos minutos.
