Sprains & Strains

Sprains and strains heal best with active care — not just rest. We accelerate healing and prevent the chronic stiffness that often follows.

Understanding Sprains & Strains

A sprain is a ligament injury; a strain is a muscle or tendon injury. Both heal with scar tissue that can limit motion if not properly managed.

Common causes

Twisting injury

Ankles, knees and wrists are common.

Sudden loading

Lifting, pushing or pulling beyond capacity.

Overstretch

Common in falls and athletic movements.

Inadequate warm-up

Cold tissue is more injury-prone.

Symptoms

Pain & swelling

Acute injury signs.

Bruising

Within 24–48 hours of injury.

Reduced motion

Guarded movement to protect the area.

Weakness

Muscle inhibition from pain and swelling.

How we help

Joint adjustments

Restore proper motion to nearby joints.

IASTM & soft tissue

Manage scar tissue and improve healing.

Kinesio taping

Support and compression during early healing.

Graded rehab

Rebuild strength and proprioception fully.
