Sprains and Strains Causes

Sprains and strains refer to injuries to ligaments and tendons, respectively, in medical terms.

Ligaments are connective tissues that connect bone to bone and help maintain joint stability. When ligaments are stretched or torn due to external forces, it is called a sprain.

Tendons, on the other hand, are fibrous connective tissues that connect muscles to bones. When tendons are torn or twisted due to external forces, it results in a strain.

Causes of Acute Muscle Strains

Acute muscle strains are typically caused by improper overstretching (e.g., being pushed) or excessive muscle contraction (e.g., incorrect weight training).
