Musculosceletal Pain & Sprains
Pain & Sprains
What are they?
Strain is an injury to the muscle or musculotendinous junction, whereas sprain is an injury to the ligament. Acute strains are caused by stretching or pulling a muscle or tendon. Chronic strains are the result of overuse of muscles and tendons, through prolonged, repetitive movement. Not getting enough rest during intense training can cause a strain.
Typical symptoms of strain include:
- Pain
- Muscle spasm
- Muscle weakness
- Swelling
- Inflammation
- Cramping
