Pulled hamstring?

Thrown out your back?

Strains and Sprains – what's the difference?

Strains and sprains are among the most common sports related injuries, though they can also be caused in everyday life - while walking, lifting or during an accidental fall. While strains and sprains are often associated, the are actually quite different.

Strains - Injury to Muscle or Tendons

A strain is the stretching or tearing of muscle or tendon, and are often called pulled muscles. Back injuries (“I put my back out”) and hamstring (“I pulled a hamstring”) injuries are the most common strain related injuries.

The common symptoms of a strain include::

  • Pain in and around the affected area

  • Stiffness

  • Swelling

  • Bruising, which may indicate that the muscle or tendon is torn or ruptured

Strains occur when the muscle is stretched too far, in a sudden or unusual way. A muscle strain may occur running, jumping, throwing, lifting heavy objects or in a slip or fall. Chronic strains can occur due to a prolonged, repetitive movement of a muscle as in weightlifting.

Sprains - Injury to Ligaments

A sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments, tough bands of fibrous tissue connecting one bone to another bone. The most common type of sprains are sprained ankles and knees.

A sprain will have several different severity levels, which indicate the level of damage done to the ligament:

  • A mild sprain occurs when the ligament stretches excessively or tears a little. The area is tender and painful to some extent, especially with movement or when weight is put upon it (as in a sprained ankle)
  • A moderate sprain indicates that the ligament has torn, but the fibers have not ruptured completely, and the joint is painful, tender and difficult to move. The affected area will be swollen and may be discolored from internal bleeding in the area (bruising). The joint may not be able to bear a persons weight.

  • A severe strain occurs when one or more of the ligaments tears completely. The area will be very painful, the joint won’t move normally or be able to have weight put on it, the joint will become swollen and discolored and may require medical care.

Sprains occur when a ligament is overextended or torn while a joint is under stress. Ligaments help to stabilize joints and prevent excessive movement. Sprains generally occur in the ankle or knee as a result of a fall, generally in sports, as well as walking, running or exercising on an uneven field or surface.

Strain Treatment - you need deep healing and relief



Treating strains and sprains will depend on the severity of the injury.
  • Resting and immobilizing the affected joint or area;

  • Cold packs to reduce inflammation and soothe painful areas;

  • Physical therapy provides an excellent method of relieving pain and speeding recovery from injury.

  • Therapeutic ultrasound to help relieve the pain and aid recovery of the area



If you suffer Strains you need to find a solution that will provide deep relief to the inflamed area and allowing the healing process to accelerate to allow you to get back to the activities you enjoy.

Ultrasound therapy is an excellent method of dealing with Strains caused by both injury and repetitive strain and can be a very positive addition to a physical or pain therapy regimen.

Ultrasound therapy – targeted pain relief and healing of Strains and Sprains...

Ultrasound therapy has been proven to be a very successful method of dealing with Sprains, Strains and other ailments for nearly 60 years. In fact if you have been diagnosed with a Sprain (or many other ailments!) and have been seeing a physical therapist (physiotherapist), chances are good that you have already experienced ultrasound therapy.

Ultrasound therapy is a very effective form of treatment for Strains and Sprains as it works by sending high frequency sound waves into the injured or painful area. These sound waves move at a frequency of a million vibrations (hertz) a second (human hearing stops at around 20,000 hertz), and penetrate deep into the human body, over 2 inches, to provide highly targeted treatment.

Ultrasound therapy provides a number of key benefits:
  • Deep targeted vibrations in the ligaments, muscles, tendons, joints and surrounding tissue, soothing the inflamed area and relieving pain;

  • An increase in tissue relaxation of the muscles and ligaments, tendons and joints, allowing for an increase in the local blood flow, helping to reduce local swelling and chronic inflammation;

  • The increased blood flow delivers higher levels of oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, as well as removing cell waste, greatly aiding the healing process.

Therapeutic Ultrasound - the Professional's choice in Strain Treatment

Ultrasound therapy is an excellent method of treating Strains as the ultrasound waves penetrate deeply into the body. The healing benefits of ultrasound also prevent further scarring and tearing of muscles, ligaments, tendons and surrounding tissue.

Ultrasound is used by many professionals such as physical therapists to reduce pain and swelling, help the recovery process and aid the healing of Strains. Using medical grade ultrasound is proven to be a very effective way of relieving the pain and promoting the healing of all types of Strains.

"In March 2007 I broke a world 48 hour indoor record running 426.178km in Brno,Czech Republic. I followed that up with a 2nd place in the Surgeres 48 hour race in France running 401km. Surgeres is a very prestigious race which was only 8 weeks after Brno.

I had been putting my body through Hell. It is not surprising that I got an injury. I hurt my ankle badly 7 weeks before the world 24 hour championships in Drummondville,Quebec,July 28/29th. I was to be the captain of the Irish team. For weeks I was hobbling badly..I was in a bad way and wondering what I could do. I tried everything from Cryotheraphy to massages to Laser treatments.

My physio, Mick produced the Sonic Relief during one of his treatments on me. I was so impressed that when I got home I had ordered one within an hour of first seing it!

The first think I noticed was it was so silent and gave me relief. I gave my ankle 3 treatments a day for 8 days before the race. Remember it was not 10k jog I was preparing for... It was a 24 hour race with some of the toughest 24 hour runners on the planet!

I was hoping to break my national record of 228km. I had not trained properly for 7 weeks. I had been limping and dragging my right foot for most of that time.

The race began and I was flying! I could not believe my ankle was feeling so strong! By 15 hours I had covered over 140km and was well on schedule for my goal.Then disaster struck! I got a shin injury on the left foot.This was bad luck and I had no choice but to drop out of the race.Still I can only thank Sonic Relief for sorting out my original injury and am now more upbeat about getting my shin injury sorted out with the fantastic Sonic Relief. I am absolutely staggered by the fact I was able to run a hard 140km for 15 long hours in a race where world class runners were having problems and dropping out left, right and centre!

Sonic Relief will be the first thing I pack in my bag when going to my next ultra race!

Thanking you so much."
