What Are Sprains and Strains?
Sprains and strains are common soft tissue injuries that affect the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. While they share similar symptoms, they involve different structures:
- Sprains: Injuries to ligaments, which connect bones to each other. Sprains often occur in the ankles, knees, or wrists and are typically caused by twisting or overstretching.
- Strains: Injuries to muscles or tendons, which connect muscles to bones. Strains often occur in the back, shoulders, or hamstrings and are typically caused by overuse, overstretching, or heavy lifting.
Symptoms of sprains and strains may include pain, swelling, bruising, stiffness, and difficulty moving the affected area.
