Sprains & Strains

What is a Sprain?


A sprain is an injury to a ligament. A ligament is a thick, tough fibrous tissue that connects bones together. Commonly injured ligaments are in the ankle, knee and wrist.


Causes:


starain.jpgThe ligament can be injured by being stretch too far from their normal position. The purpose of having ligaments is to hold your skeleton together in a normal alignment. Ligaments prevent abnormal movements, however when there is too much force applied to a ligament, such as in a fall, the ligaments can be stretched or torn. This injury is called a sprain. A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon. Muscles are made to stretch but if stretched too far or stretched while contracting; an injury called a strain may result. A strain may either be a stretching or tear of the muscle or tendon.


Symptoms:


The symptoms of a strain are typically pain, swelling and bruising of the affected joint. Symptoms will vary with the intensity of the injury. More significant ligament tears, grade 3 injuries, cause an inability to use the joint and may lead to joint instability. Less serious injuries, grade one, may only cause pain with movement.
