About Sprains and Strains
Strains and sprains happen – a quick turn, a slip and fall or overuse can cause soft tissues to become injured. Muscles get strained, ligaments or tendons get sprained and all of them can have negative effects on our lives from work to home life. They can also be slow to heal.
Symptoms of a Sprain
-
Range of motion will be noted
-
Some bruising may be seen on the affected area.
-
Often, visual swelling can be seen on the joint or muscle.
-
Pain increases for the next 48-72 hours as inflammation sets in.
