Sprains and strains occur when the ligaments and muscles are not warmed up before activity Do not over stretched your ligaments and muscles Do strengthening exercises for the ligaments and muscles Always rest the ligaments of the joints and muscles if there are injuries. Compression bandaging gives support to the ligaments and muscles3. Keep bones and body strong Bone marrow produces our blood Eat foods rich in calcium like yogurt, cheese, milk, and dark green vegetables. Eat foods rich in Vitamin D, like eggs, fatty fish, cereal, and fortified milk. Eat food rich in Vitamins B and C such as green vegetables and fruits Zinc and other minerals are important to the body4. Get enough rest and Sleep Avoid stress and tension5. Exercise and stay active. It is best to do weight-bearing exercise such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting weights for 21/2 hours a week. One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week. Begin slowly especially if a person has not been active.6. Do not drink more than 2 alcohol drinks a day for a man or 1 alcohol drink a day for a woman. Alcohol use also increases the chance of falling and breaking a bone. Alcohol can affect the neurons and brain cells. Too much alcohol is not good for the nerves supplying the ligaments and muscles.7. Stop or do not begin smoking. It also interferes with blood supply and healing. Cigarettes contain more than forty types of hazardous and possibly cancer causing chemicals which can harm the smokers and those around them. Smoking can is bad for blood circulations to the ligaments and muscles. Chapter 1Sprains and Strains What are Sprains and Strains?1. Sprain A sprain is an injury to the ligaments around a joint caused by the ligament being stretched beyond its own capacity. Ligaments are strong, flexible fibers that hold bones together at a joint. When a ligament is stretched too far or is torn, the joint will become painful and swell. Sprains are caused when a joint is forced to move into an unnatural position. Falling, twisting, or getting hit can all cause a sprain. Ankle and wrist sprains are common. Symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and being unable to move the joint. You might feel a pop or tear when the injury happens.2. Strain A strain is a stretched or torn muscle or tendon. Tendons are tissues that connect muscle to bone. Twisting or pulling these tissues can cause a strain. Strains can happen suddenly or develop over time. A muscular tear stretched or torn is referred to as a strain. Back and hamstring muscle strains are common. Many people get strains playing sports.
