What is a Sprain?<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.loolooherbal.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Sprains_2-1.jpg” disabled_on=”off|off|on” admin_label=”mob. Image” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”70%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”joint ache ” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]A sprain is a pull or a tear in the ligament\/s. A ligament, simply put, is a band of tough fibrous tissues that connects one bone to another. The most common place for a sprain to occur is the ankle. However, it can also occur in wrists, elbows, neck, or knees. Sprains affect youngsters and aged alike, though the healing period and severity might differ. The symptoms of a sprain include- pain, instant swelling, bruising, and inability to use the joint. A slight movement triggers excruciating pain. [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”joint ache ” _builder_version=”4.16″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]Colloquially, sprains are often confused with strains. A strain takes place when the band of tissues connecting the muscle to the bone is pulled or torn. These connecting tissues are called tendons. They are found at the end of every muscle connecting it to the bone. Even a muscle pull is characterized as a strain. Though the symptoms of a sprain and a strain might appear similar, strains are more likely to happen due to overusing or overexerting a muscle as opposed to sprains that result due to a fall or a jerk that pushes the joint beyond its normal position. The symptoms of a strain, along with pain, include muscle spasms, swelling, cramping, and trouble moving. The swelling in case of strains develops gradually, whereas in case of sprains, a swollen bulge can instantly be seen where the ligament tear takes place.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Treatment” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Treatment<\/h3>\n

Treatment of a sprain depends on its severity. However, the basic first aid must be assured irrespective of the severity. The first aid for all sprains is RICE<\/span><\/strong>: R<\/span><\/strong>est, I<\/span><\/strong>ce, C<\/span><\/strong>ompression, and E<\/span><\/strong>levation.<\/p>\n

2) Ice<\/strong> the area immediately using an ice pack or an ice bath to soak the affected area. This reduces inflammation.<\/p>\n

Sprains are generally treated with topical application of liniments or over-the-counter medication. However, frequent consumption of such medicines comes with the baggage of side-effects. Most medicines merely numb the pain receptors of the brain only giving the illusion of a healed joint.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the severity of the sprain, topical application of liniments is essential as it accelerates the healing process. Herbal liniments, as opposed to chemical ones, are better as they don\u2019t create a havoc on skin and are safe even if absorbed through the skin; they are devoid of harmful side-effects. One such oil is LooLoo Oleo Rheuma Herbal Liniment.<\/strong><\/p>\n
