Let's talk about something that has happened to all of us: sprains. In this video, we will tell you what they are, what causes them, and how to prevent them. Remember, prevention is key to avoiding this type of injury.
What are sprains?
A sprain or twist is an injury to the ligaments that connect two bones forming a joint. These ligaments are made of very strong fibers, but when they are stretched to their limit or subjected to a very sudden and excessive movement, they break or overstretch, causing pain and swelling in the joint. If the injury is severe enough that the ligament can no longer stabilize the joint and the bones dislocate, it becomes a dislocation.
Symptoms may vary, but some of the most common ones include:
What causes sprains?
Sprains can occur due to various situations. Some of the most common causes include sports injuries, falls, twists, or sudden movements. Sprains happen when a joint is forced to move in an unnatural position. They can also result from overuse, caused by friction, pulls, twists, or repetitive compression.
It is important to remember that each case is unique and may vary in severity.
What to do in case of a sprain?
If you suspect you have suffered a sprain, here are some important recommendations. First, rest the affected joint and avoid any activity that could worsen the injury. Apply ice to the area for 15-20 minutes several times a day to reduce swelling. You can also use an elastic bandage to provide stability and compression to the joint. Additionally, it is crucial to elevate the affected limb to reduce swelling.
Always consult a healthcare professional if you suspect you have suffered a sprain. A medical expert can assess the severity of the injury and offer appropriate treatment. Do not self-medicate or try to resolve the injury without expert guidance.
To prevent sprains, it is essential to take extra precautions. Perform warm-up exercises before engaging in sports or intense physical activities. Ensure you use the appropriate protective gear, such as knee pads, ankle supports, or elbow guards, if you are at risk of injury in those areas.
