A sprain occurs when a ligament is stretched or torn, while a strain happens when a muscle or tendon is overstretched or torn. Both injuries can be painful and limit your movement, but they require different treatment approaches to heal properly.
Recovery time for a sprain is generally longer than for a strain. This is because ligaments receive less blood flow than muscles and tendons, which slows the healing process.
This is where chiropractors can make a significant difference. They can assess the severity of your injury and create a personalized treatment plan that may include exercises, stretches, and manual therapy techniques to promote healing and restore your range of motion.
If you’re dealing with a sprain or strain, don’t wait for it to heal on its own. Consulting a qualified healthcare professional can ensure a smoother and quicker recovery. Take care of your body, and it will take care of you! 👩🏻⚕️👨⚕️ ☎️424-252-9179
