Sprains and strains are common injuries that affect muscles
and ligaments. They usually occur when you change direction or speed suddenly,
fall awkwardly or collide with an object or person. This usually occurs while
playing sports.
Sprains
A sprain occurs when one or more of your ligaments get
stretched, usually as a result of excessive force being applied to a joint. Ligaments
are strong bands of tissue around joints that connect bones to one another. Common
locations for sprains include the knees, ankles, wrists and thumbs.
Symptoms of a Sprain
- Pain around the affected joint
- Being unable to use the joint normally or being unable to put weight on it
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
Strains
A strain occurs when muscle fibres stretch or tear. They
usually occur when the muscle has been stretched beyond its limits.
Muscle strains are particularly common in the legs and back,
such as hamstring strains and lower back strains.
Symptoms
- Pain in the affected muscle
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Muscle spasms
- Loss of some, or all, of the function in the affected muscle
How to treat Sprains
and Strains?
Minor sprains and strains can usually be treated with techniques,
such as PRICE therapy (protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation).
You can try to start moving a sprained joint as soon as it
is not too painful to do so, whereas a strained muscle should normally be
immobilised for at least a few days.
People will usually regain full use of the affected part
within six to eight weeks. Severe injuries may take longer to heal. Some people
may experience persistent problems lasting several months.
