List of common injuries, the cause and how to care
A strain (pulled muscle) is when a muscle or ligament is
overstretched or forced to contract against too much resistance. This
causes separation or tearing of the muscle fibers. There are three grades
of strain:
Grade 1 is where some muscle fibers have been stretched or
torn. Movement is painful, but you can achieve full range of motion.
Grade 2 is when you have torn several muscle fibers. Active contraction
of the muscle is very painful. You will usually feel a depression in the
muscle belly where the fibers are torn. You may have broken capillaries
and some swelling.
Grade 3 is when you completely rupture the muscle. You will have very little movement or none at
all. The pain will be intense but will dissipate due to nerve fiber
separation. This normally occurs in the bicep tendon or Achilles.
Muscle strains take quite a long time to heal. They
normally happen in the hamstring or quadriceps and the healing process can take
up to 8 weeks.
A sprain is damage to a ligament typically at a joint.
If a joint is forced beyond the normal limit, then injury may occur.
There are three types of sprain: Grade 1 is when there is some stretching and
separation of the ligament fibers. You can expect mild to moderate pain,
localized swelling and stiffness of the joint.
The joint will be stiff,
moderate to severe pain and swelling. Grade 3 is complete tearing of the
ligament. The pain will be severe but dull over time due to nerve
damage. There will be massive swelling and the joint becomes stiff.
In all three cases, the join has become unstable. In
order to restore stability to the joint, the surrounding muscles and tendons
must be strengthened. Strength training is the way to go here. Muscle
Cramps are involuntary contractions of the muscle that typically occur in
the calf, abs or hamstrings.
They
are usually quite painful. Often they are a direct result of dehydration
or lack of minerals (sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium or calcium.)
Obviously you want to rehydrate and up your vitamins.
There are two types of muscle soreness: Acute-Onset Muscle
Soreness occurs during and immediately after exercise. This comes from
fatigued muscles. It lasts 24-48 hrs. and gradually subsides so the person is
pain free in 3-4 days.
Basically, you wrote a check your body couldn’t cash.
You need to start an exercise routine that is moderate in nature and gradually
work on the intensity.
The human body is amazing. When you take care of your
body, it WILL take care of you. Healthy muscles and joints bounce back
quicker than those that are not healthy. Eat properly, stretch and work
out. Your body will thank you.
