Sprains and Strains Treatment in Miami
If you have been in an accident or gotten injured at the gym, you may have a strain or sprain but might not know the difference because they can cause similar symptoms. Identifying whether you have a strain or sprain is important to prevent further injury.
What is the Difference between Sprain and Strain?
One notable difference between sprains and strains is that strains occur when there is a partial tear of the muscle or tendon, while sprains occur when there is a partial tear of ligaments. Despite these initial differences, both can cause similar symptoms.

Sprains and Strains Treatment
While there are many ways to classify injuries, they can be generally categorized as pulls, tears, sprains, strains, and fractures. Strains and sprains affect soft tissues such as ligaments and tendons. Injuries to ligaments refer to stretching or tearing of the ligament itself, while a sprain refers to a stretch or tear of a ligament with a partial or complete tear or rupture of the ligament fibers. The location of an injury is also an indicator of what kind of tissue damage was experienced.
We offer various chiropractic treatments to help relieve sprains and strains. Some of these include:
- Exercises/Stretches
- Soft Tissue Mobilization
- Neuromuscular Electronic Stimulation
- Physical Therapy
- Chiropractic Manipulation
Mild sprains and strains may feel better in a few days. However, stress from work, sports, or other physical activity often aggravates injuries, leading to discomfort even after the initial pain has subsided. Get a diagnosis at Silverman Chiropractic today before any serious complications arise.
