Medical Editor SpineUniverse Desert Hot Springs, CA, USA Most people will experience back pain during their lifetime. Some patients fear the worst, especially when pain is severe. Although back pain can be caused by fracture, disc disorder, or tumor, the most common cause is sprain or strain. Sprains and strains often result from excessive physical demands on the back. Lifting something too heavy, a sudden fall, car crash, or sports injury can cause soft tissues (ligaments, muscles, tendons) to stretch too much. Sprains · Strains The spine includes vertebrae (bones), discs (cartilaginous pads or shock absorbers), the spinal cord and nerve roots (neurological wiring system), and blood vessels (nourishment). Ligaments link bones together, and tendons connect muscles to bones and discs. The ligaments, muscles, and tendons work together to handle the external forces the spine encounters during movement, such as bending forward and lifting.

Sprains and Strains
The majority of sports injuries are caused by minor trauma involving muscles, ligaments, and/or tendons, including:
  • Contusions (bruises).
  • Sprains.
  • Strains.

The most commonly sprained or strained joint is the ankle.
The three ligaments involved in ankles sprains/strains include:
  • Anterior talofibular ligament.
  • Posterior talofibular ligament.
  • Calcaneofibular ligament.
Sprains or strains are uncommon in younger children because their growth plates (areas of bone growth located in the ends of long bones) are weaker than the muscles or tendons. Instead, children are prone to fractures.
What is a contusion? A contusion (bruise) is an injury to the soft-tissue often produced by a blunt force such as a kick, fall, or blow. The immediate result will be pain, swelling, and discoloration.
What is a sprain? A sprain is a wrenching or stretching injury to a ligament. Sprains often affect the ankles, knees, or wrists.

Overview
Signs and Symptoms
  • Sometimes a sensation of burning and/or a popping sound at the time of the injury. Pain and/or tenderness in the injured area. Swelling. Redness or bruising. Decreased mobility due to pain.
Self-Care Measures
  • Use R-I-C-E therapy:
    Rest: Rest the injured area as much as possible for at least the first 1 to 2 days. Then you can resume gentle movement and stretching of the injured muscle or joint, but not to the point of significant pain.
    Ice:
    Compression: If possible, wrap the area with an ace (elastic) bandage to help decrease swelling. The bandage should be snug, but not so tight that it causes numbness or tingling of the affected areas or causes your toes or fingers to turn blue. If any of these things occur, loosen the bandage, and they should quickly go away.
    Elevation:
    Use OTC analgesics as needed for pain.

pains of sprains and strains
Most often occurring during physical activity, sprains are injuries to ligaments, tendons, or other connective tissues, while strains are injuries to muscles or the areas where muscles become tendons. Healthcare providers recommend treating these common injuries with the time tested R.I.C.E. treatment:
  • Get professional help for serious injuries See a doctor if you cannot move or put weight on the body part, if the part looks crooked, if pain or tenderness is severe, if there is numbness or redness in the area, or if you have any other concerns about your injury Control swelling and pain Use the R.I.C.E treatment: R est the body part, I ce it every hour, C ompress it with elastic bandages, tape, or a brace, and E levate it above your heart Control inflammation with proteolytic enzymes Take 4 to 8 tablets a day of enzyme preparations containing trypsin, chymotrypsin, and/or bromelain for inflammation Try topical horse chestnut extract Apply a product containing 2% aescin every two hours to control swelling Take a multivitamin-mineral supplement A multivitamin during recovery can help insure against deficiencies that slow the healing process
These recommendations are not comprehensive and are not intended to replace the advice of your doctor or pharmacist.

Supporting Research Sprains and strains often result from sports or exercise, but can easily result from any physical activity. Sprains result from an injury to a ligament (the connective tissue that links bones together at joints), most often in the ankle, knee, elbow, or wrist. Strains are tears in muscle tissue, commonly occurring in the muscles that support the neck, thigh, groin, and ankle. Signs and Symptoms Sprains and strains cause pain and swelling. You may have joint instability or disability if the injury is serious, involving a muscle or ligament tear. What Causes It? Sprains generally result from a twisting force applied to a joint while it is bearing weight, which causes the ligament to stretch beyond its natural limit. Muscle strains occur when the weight load on a muscle is greater than what the weakest part of the muscle can bear. Strains usually occur during activities that require a muscle to be stretched and bear weight at the same time. You are at risk for a sprain or strain if you do the following.
    • Exercise without warming up properly Use athletic equipment that does not fit properly Participate in sports and activities that you are not conditioned for

    A sprain refers to an injury to a ligament-one of the tough, fibrous cords that act as tethers to hold the bones together at the joint. Sprains occur at the joints when the adjacent bones are twisted or pushed too far. The ligaments can stretch and even tear, causing pain and loss of function. The most common joints to experience sprains are the knee, ankle, shoulder, and those in the fingers. A strain refers to a muscle injury. As such, strains usually occur away from the joint, in the muscle tissue. The most commonly injured muscles are the hamstring at the back of the thigh and the gastrocnemius, or calf muscle. Athletes commonly suffer both sprains and strains.

    Knee Injuries in Basketball
    The sprains and strains of the game Basketball is an exciting, fast-moving sport. Unfortunately, what makes the game exciting to watch and exhilarating to play also makes it a high-risk sport for knee injuries. Running with sudden stops, cutting side to side, jumping, and pivoting can injure your knee. Although there are risks of knee injury, it's still a great game, so before you jump in, you should know the risks and what you can do to prevent injury. The largest joint in the body, the knee, is made up of the lower end of the femur (thighbone) and the upper end of the tibia, or shinbone. The patella, or kneecap, slides in a groove at the end of the femur. Ligaments at the end of the femur and tibia connect the bones and help stabilize and support the knee (Fig. 1). Tendons connect the muscles to the bones, and the cartilage inside the joint helps to cushion and absorb shock to the joint and to give stability to the knee. A sprain or strain can occur when there is a direct blow to the knee or when there is a sudden, stressful movement that affects the knee. A sprain or strain can also develop from overuse of the joint or when you place too much stress on the knee for a long period of time. Often, with a sprain or strain the tissues become irritated, causing pain and swelling. Sprains
    A sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament. More serious sprains involve complete tears of one or more of the knee ligaments. A common knee sprain involves the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) (Fig. 1). Changing direction rapidly or stopping abruptly while running can cause the twisting motion that tears the ACL.

    Soccer Players Sprains, strains, and breaks Soccer is enjoyed by millions of athletes each year. Generally, it is a safe and effective form of exercise; however, injuries such as sprains and strains often occur. Soft tissue (ligaments, tendons, and muscles) injuries are the most common injuries in soccer. These injuries include minor contusions (bruising a ligament, tendon, or muscle), sprains (stretching or tearing a ligament), and strains (stretching or tearing a muscle or tendon). Fractures (broken bones) occur far less often but, commonly, are more serious. 10 facts about soccer injuries
    The greatest risk factors for injury seem to be the level of play and how often the athlete is exposed to the game. On the other hand, there appears to be no compelling evidence that position or technique is associated with a higher risk of injury. Here are some interesting facts gathered by the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding sprains and breaks that occur in soccer:
  • The occurance of injury increases with the age of the players. Seventy percent of sprain and break injuries occur in the lower extremity with 25% of these involving ligament and fracture injuries of the knee, and the other 25% involving sprains of the ankle.
