Sprain/Strain

A Strain/sprain is the over stretching or tearing of muscle fibers. A Sprain references the over stretching or tearing of ligaments (the tissue that hold the joints together). The severity of the injury may be minor involving the overstretching and tearing of minute fibers of the muscle or ligament. The severity of the sprain/strain is determined by how many fibers have been torn. The more fibers that are torn, the longer the injury will take to heal.

At HealthFirst, we are well trained to care for Sprain/Strain conditions.
