Sports Injuries: Sprains and Strains

6/29/2016

4 Comments

 
Ankle sprains most often involve tears of one or more of the ligaments along the outside of the ankle.  Knee ligaments can also be torn.
An acute twisting or overextension of a joint can lead to tears of muscles and tendons, called “strains,” and tears of ligaments result in “sprains.”  These tears range from mild to severe.
In mild injuries, just a few fibers are torn or stretched.  Severe injuries, where there is a tear through the fill thickness of the structure, frequently require surgical intervention.
The intervertebral disc, a ligament between the vertebrae of the spine that works as a shock absorber, can also be torn, resulting in a disc bulge and/or herniation.

Sports injuries are tough, but with the right care and a focus on strengthening the injured area, you can come back stronger than before. Working with a skilled physiotherapist has made all the difference in my recovery process. Patience and persistence are key!

Nice post! Sprains and strains can sideline athletes, but with rest, ice, compression, and elevation, they usually heal well. Prevention through stretching and warm-ups is key. Stay safe!
