A member asked:

I have a large swollen bruise on lower back from fall. it burns at times. what can i do to speed up healing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing particular: There is no known way to improve on the body's healing abilities, other than a proper diet and adequate vitamins, and avoiding things that may impair healing, including cigarette smoking and alcohol.
