Sprains
Description
Sprains are common injuries that occur when a ligament is stretched or torn within a joint. Ligaments are strong, fibrous bands of tissue that connect bones together at a joint. Symptoms of a sprain can include pain, swelling, bruising, and limited mobility. Initial treatment for a sprain typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the affected area to reduce pain and swelling. Mild sprains can often be treated at home, while more severe cases may require medical attention, including surgery. With proper care and rehabilitation, most people with sprains can expect to fully recover and return to their normal activities. Massage therapy aids in reducing pain by increasing blood flow, which speeds up the recovery and rehabilitation process. Blood flow into the muscles surrounding the ligaments is vital in creating new tissue and repairing damaged tissue. Wondering what service option is the best for sprains?
