INJURIES
Traumatic injuries can cause crippling types of problems. These injuries are usually to the ligaments, the tissue that connects bones to bones, or to muscles. However, fractures and dislocations do occur at times especially with contact sports, falls or car accidents. A strain is any injury to either a muscle or its tendon and a sprain is to ligaments. The most common areas for these types of injuries are the ankles, knees, and the shoulders. Other areas commonly affected are the low back and neck.
Overuse or Repetitive Injuries are becoming more and more common. These conditions occur when we are involved in a repetitive activity that causes a very slight strain to tissues especially tendons and muscles that alone would not cause a problem, but done many times has a cumulative affect. Eventually your body develops changes resulting in pain, stiffness and disability. A good example of this is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome caused by repetitive use of your hands.
If not managed carefully some sprains and strains can leave you with chronic problems of joint instability, painful or weak joints and muscles, and lack of mobility. Therefore it is important to get the injury assessed properly by a natural health care professional to discover the extent of the damage. You can recover from most of these injuries without drugs or surgery with proper care during the various stages of healing.
