Understanding Sprains vs. Strains

It’s important to understand the difference between sprains and strains:

Sprains

Injuries to ligaments, the tough bands of tissue that connect bones to bones.

Sprains often occur due to a sudden twist or stretch. Ankle sprains are a common example.

Strains

Injuries to muscles or tendons (which connect muscles to bones). Strains can result from overstretching, overuse, or a sudden forceful contraction.
A pulled hamstring is a common strain.

Common Locations for Sprains & Strains

Ankle

Ankle sprains are among the most frequent injuries, often affecting the lateral (outer) ligaments.

Knee

Knee sprains can involve the ACL, MCL, LCL, or other ligaments.

Wrist

Wrist sprains can occur from falls or other trauma.

Back

Back strains are common due to improper lifting, poor posture, or overuse.

Hamstring

Hamstring strains often occur during activities that involve sprinting or sudden movements.

How Our Chiro Chiropractic & Musculoskeletal Services Brisbane Can Help

Our experienced chiropractors take a holistic approach to diagnosing and treating sprains and strains. We’ll conduct a thorough examination to assess the severity of your injury and identify any contributing factors. Your personalized treatment plan may include:

While adjustments aren’t directly performed on the injured ligaments or muscles, they can address any misalignments in the spine or surrounding joints that may be contributing to muscle imbalances or altered biomechanics, which can hinder healing.

Techniques like massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to address muscle tightness, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Targeted exercises to strengthen supporting muscles, improve flexibility, and restore range of motion.

Exercises to improve balance and coordination, which is especially important for ankle sprains.

Braces, splints, or taping may be recommended to provide support and stability during the healing process.

Personalized programs to help you regain strength, endurance, and function.

We will educate you on the RICE protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for initial injury management.
