IS IT AWRIST STRAIN OR SPRAIN?
Medically, the difference between a wrist sprain and a wrist strain are the soft tissues involved. In a sprain, ligaments are stretched or torn. In a strain, muscles are injured. While most people think of wrists as having ligaments and bones, but not much muscle, the wrist is the attachment site of several muscles in the forearm. It is possible to fall on your wrist, hyperextending the tendons found there, causing them to tear. Strains are treated similarly to sprains.Time, compressin, ice, and targeted exercises can help speed the healing process for wrist strains. Although hand therapy is the ideal solution for helping an injured wrist heal, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Do your best to stay home while it is icy outside. If you must venture out, wear low heeled, sturdy shoes with gripping soles and walk slowly and carefully. If you are suffering from a hand or wrist injury, contact us today at the clinic nearest you, to schedule an appointment for treatment. Your wrists will thank you for it.
