What is a Strain?
A strain is a stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon, a fibrous cord of tissue that connects muscles to bones.
Strains often occur in the lower back and in the hamstring muscle in the back of your thigh.
Symptoms
• Pain
• Swelling
• Muscle spasms
• Limited ability to move the affected muscle
Causes
There are two types of strains: Acute and chronic. An acute strain occurs when a muscle becomes strained or pulled —
or may even tear — when it stretches unusually far or abruptly. Acute strains often occur in the following ways:
• Slipping on ice
• Running, jumping or throwing
• Lifting a heavy object or lifting in an awkward position
A chronic strain results from prolonged, repetitive movement of a muscle. This may occur on the job or during sports,
such as:
• Gymnastics
• Tennis
• Rowing
• Golf
Western medicine treatments
Treating strains depends on the joint involved and the severity of the injury.
• Medications
• Therapy
• Surgery
Alternative Medicine
There is a significant progress using alternative medicine in this area.
