Although the terms are often used interchangeably, sprains and strains affect different tissues.
A sprain occurs when a ligament is stretched or torn. Ligaments connect bones to other bones and provide joint stability.
A strain occurs when a muscle or tendon is stretched or torn. Tendons connect muscles to bones and help generate movement.
Both injuries can range from mild to severe and may significantly impact mobility and physical function if not treated properly.
Symptoms vary depending on the severity and location of the injury.
Common symptoms include:
Severe injuries may result in significant loss of function and prolonged recovery if left untreated.
Several situations can lead to sprains and strains.
Common causes include:
