Table of Contents Conditions Sprains and Strains Signs and Symptoms What Causes It? What to Expect at Your Provider's Office Treatment Options ... Supporting Research Sprains and strains often result from sports or exercise, but can easily result from any physical activity. Sprains result from an injury to a ligament (the connective tissue that links bones together at joints), most often in the ankle, knee, elbow, or wrist. Strains are tears in muscle tissue, commonly occurring in the muscles that support the neck, thigh, groin, and ankle. Signs and Symptoms Sprains and strains cause pain and swelling. You may have joint instability or disability if the injury is serious, involving a muscle or ligament tear. What Causes It? Sprains generally result from a twisting force applied to a joint while it is bearing weight, which causes the ligament to stretch beyond its natural limit. Muscle strains occur when the weight load on a muscle is greater than what the weakest part of the muscle can bear. Strains usually occur during activities that require a muscle to be stretched and bear weight at the same time. You are at risk for a sprain or strain if you do the following. Exercise without warming up properly Use athletic equipment that does not fit properly Participate in sports and activities that you are not conditioned for What to Expect at Your Provider's Office Your health care provider may take an X ray. If your injury is severe, he or she may also order an MRI. You may need to have the injured limb wrapped in an elastic bandage or put in a soft cast.

Sprains and Strains Introduction Many people use the term sprain to inaccurately describe many different types of injuries to a joint. Medically, a sprain means that a ligament tissue have been torn. Tearing of a ligament can be partial or complete. Ligaments are connective tissue that attach to and hold two bones together. It is a tough tissue, but it is not very elastic. Sudden stretching due to excessive bending or twisting can cause an injury to the ligament. Knees and ankles are the two joints most commonly sprained, but any joint can be affected. Frequently, muscle strain will occur at the same time as a sprain, especially with ankle sprains. Strains and sprains, however, are not the same. Symptoms of a sprain may include: 1. Pain (mild to severe) at the time of injury 2. A "popping" sound may be heard 3. Rapid discoloration of the skin 4. Intensified pain with pressure or movement of the joint 5. Swelling, often beginning within minutes of the injury If the joint is out of alignment, a dislocation or fracture may also have occurred. Prevention of sprains primarily rests on limiting activities that require sudden, unexpected changes in the use of a joint. However, this advice may be too limiting, especially for people who are very physically active or who play different sports.

Two injuries common to muscles and joints are strains and sprains. A strain is less serious than a sprain. To "strain" is to injure or impair by overuse or overexertion. Strains occur when our muscles and the ligaments of our joints are overworked or used incorrectly. The fibers of the muscle or ligament are over-stretched but not broken. There is discomfort and swelling at the area of injury. This is a minor injury and you can recover in a few weeks by using the following advice: To control the swelling: * apply an ice pack to the area for 10 to 30 minutes intermittently for 48 to 72 hours, * wrap an ace bandage firmly around the area for 7 to 14 days to prevent re-injury, (take it off when not needed) , * elevate the injured area for 5 to 10 minutes hourly to reduce the swelling, and * take an anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen or aspirin. Limit use of the injured area by: * gradually moving and using the area (this will limit swelling and stiffness) , and

Facility Information DeWitt Comm Hosp Genesis Medical Ctr Illini Hospital Genesis Health Grp VNA Sprains and strains Definition Sprain refers to damage or tearing of ligaments or a joint capsule. Strain refers to damage or tearing of a muscle. Description When excessive force is applied to a joint, the ligaments that hold the bones together may be torn or damaged. This results in a sprain, and its seriousness depends on how badly the ligaments are torn. Any joint can be sprained, but the most frequently injured joints are the ankle, knee, and finger. Strains are tears in the muscle. Sometimes called pulled muscles, they usually occur because of overexertion or improper lifting techniques. Sprains and strains are common. Anyone can have them. Children under age eight are less likely to have sprains than are older people. Childrens' ligaments are tighter, and their bones are more apt to break before a ligament tears. People who are active in sports suffer more strains and sprains than less active people. Repeated sprains in the same joint make the joint less stable and more prone to future sprains. There are three grades of sprains. Grade I sprains are mild injuries where there is no tearing of the ligament, and no joint function is lost, although there may be tenderness and slight swelling.

A strain refers to a muscle injury. As such, strains usually occur away from the joint, in the muscle tissue. The most commonly injured muscles are the hamstring at the back of the thigh and the gastrocnemius, or calf muscle. Athletes commonly suffer both sprains and strains. What Causes It? Sprains occur as a result of an injury, when the joint is subjected to more physical force than it can withstand. Strains occur when a muscle is overstretched or overexerted, often from running or lifting a weight. Previous sprains may weaken the ligaments; recurrence is possible with only minor pressure. Strains increase with obesity and poor muscular conditioning. Prevention Perform warm-up exercises before undertaking any strenuous physical activity.

A sprain is an injury to a ligamenta stretching or a tearing. One or more ligaments can be injured during a sprain. The severity of the injury will depend on the extent of injury to a single ligament (whether the tear is partial or complete) and the number of ligaments involved. A strain is an injury to either a muscle or a tendon. Depending on the severity of the injury, a strain may be a simple overstretch of the muscle or tendon, or it can result in a partial or complete tear. What Causes a Sprain?
