OCALA, Fla. - March 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Spring is here, and for many of us that means more time playing sports and losing ourselves in outdoor activities.

Unfortunately, jumping back into an activity after a sedentary period without proper training or stretching can lead to injury, such as sprains and strains. In fact, these are two of the more common injuries Express Care of Ocala treats.

Knees, ankles, wrists, elbows — sprains occur when a ligament, the tissue that connects two or more bones at a joint, has been stretched or torn.

Similarly, a strain typically occurs where the muscle becomes a tendon and takes place when a muscle is stretched and then suddenly contracts.

Sprain and strain injuries can range from mild to severe, and regardless of which one a person has suffered, the key to recovery is having the injury evaluated by medical professionals like those at Express Care of Ocala.

Symptoms of sprains and strains are similar as well, and include:
•Pain
•Swelling
•Bruising
•Limited use of the joint
•Sometimes, with a sprain, a person actually feels a tear or feels a pop at the time of injury

With a strain, a person might also experience:
•Muscle spasms
•Muscle weakness
•Cramping
•Trouble moving the muscle

Mild sprains and strains often heal quickly with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE). However, some injuries may need the area to be immobilized in a particular way for healing to occur properly, which is why it is always best for a person to seek qualified medical advice if they concerns regarding a potential sprain or strain.
