Magnetic Health Therapy - Sprain/Strain Injuries
Definition:
Sprains and strains are injuries that share similar signs and symptoms. The difference is that each injury involves different parts of your body. A sprain occurs when there is an over-stretching or tearing of ligaments, which is composed of a fibrous tissue that connect bones to each other in your joints. A strain occurs when there is an over-stretching or tearing of muscle or tendon (a fibrous cord of tissue at the end of the muscle that connects to bones).
Symptoms of Sprains:
1. Pain
2. Swelling
3. Bruising
4. Restricted movement in the affected joint
5. At the moment of injury, you may feel or hear a "pop" in your joint
Symptoms of Strains:
1. Pain
2. Swelling
3. Bruising
4. Muscle spasms
5. Restricted movement in the affected joint
Causes:
Sprains can occur in the following circumstances:
1. Ankle sprain: Walking, jumping, running or exercising on an uneven surface
2. Knee sprain: Pivoting during an athletic activity or falling on the knee
3. Wrist sprain: Falling down on an outstretched hand
4. Thumb sprain: Sporting activities, work injuries, accidents
Strains can occur in the following circumstances:
1. Quick or sudden muscle movements such as running, jumping or throwing
2. Excessive or sudden physical exertion such as lifting a heavy object
Risk factors:
Factors contributing to sprains and strains include:
Level of fitness: A lack of conditioning and physical fitness can cause your muscles to be weaker and leave you more susceptible to injuries.
Fatigue: Muscles that are overworked will not provide good support for your joints. This can predispose you to a sprain or strain injury.
Adequate warm-up: Properly warming up before vigorous physical activity relaxes your muscles and increases joint range of motion, making the muscles less tight and less prone to trauma and tears.
MAGNETIC HEALTH THERAPY: CAN IT HELP SPRAIN OR STRAIN INJURIES?
Professional athletes have used magnetic health therapy as a way to speed up the recovery time from injuries. In addition, amateur athletes, collegiate athletes, high school athletes and "weekend warriors" have used therapy magnets with great success. Research studies and clinical trials have demonstrated therapy magnets can help with pain relief. Magnetic therapy can also decrease swelling and improve joint function. Research has also shown that magnetic health therapy can accelerate the healing process. Our magnetic therapy products can be placed comfortably on the area of pain to maximize relief. Experience natural pain relief without the side effects! Magnets are an excellent choice for pain management.
