Sprains and Strains
Sprains and strains refer to injuries affecting muscles and ligaments. Sprains involve ligament damage, often occurring in ankles or wrists, while strains affect muscles or tendons, frequently impacting the back or legs. Symptoms of sprains and strains include pain, swelling, and limited movement. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE).
