What causes sprains or strains?

Although affecting different parts of the body, sprains and strains have similar causes. If you or a loved one has sustained a sprain or strain injury from an accident, contact 844 See Mike for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

A strain is when a muscle or tendon in your body gets overstretched or torn. Tendons are the flexible bands of tissue that attach muscles to bones. Acute strains occur suddenly whereas chronic strains develop over time due to repetitive movements from an activity, such as rowing. Acute strains occur when you overexert yourself physically when you suffer a harsh fall, or the affected area is twisted in an awkward position. Symptoms of a sprain include pain, swelling, and bruising in the affected area; muscle weakness, cramps, or spasms; and also difficulty moving the area or a limited range of motion.

A sprain occurs when a ligament near a joint gets overstretched or torn. Ligaments are tough, fibrous bands of tissue that connect one bone to another bone. These injuries occur due to a high-impact force directed at the area, such as a motor vehicle accident or a contact sports injury. They could also be caused by any twisting or rolling of a joint, which is also possible in some sports or from running. Symptoms of a sprain include pain, swelling, and bruising of the affected area, a limited range of motion, and difficulty putting weight or pressure on the joint.
