Sprains and Strains

Ligaments, the strong bands of fibrous tissue that unite two bones in your joints, may be stretched or torn, resulting in a sprain. Your ankle is where sprains occur most often.

A strain includes an injury to a muscle or to the band of tissue that connects a muscle to a bone, while a sprain involves damage to the bands of tissue that hold two bones together.

Rest, cold compression, and elevation are all parts of the first therapy. Treatment for minor sprains may be completed at home. Surgery may be necessary to mend damaged ligaments in cases of severe sprains. In these cases, we are always ready and willing to help you. Whether you need a brace to make sure it heals properly, or you require surgery, call us to get the treatment you need!
