We treat a wide range of non-emergency conditions in adults and children over the age of two, and we’re pleased to maintain a relationship with the University of Florida.
Sprains vs. Strains
Muscle strains and ligament sprains can produce very similar symptoms—including pain, swelling, bruising, and reduced range of motion—so it can be difficult for many people to tell them apart. With that said, a strain (the overstretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon) may also cause muscle cramping, spasms, and weakness. And a sprain (the overstretching or tearing of a ligament) may produce a popping sound at the time of injury.
Because muscle strains and ligament sprains sometimes require different treatment approaches, and since it can be hard for the average person to distinguish between the two, it’s important to consult with a professional if you’re experiencing the symptoms described above. When you visit Halifax Health ExpressCare, we’ll speak with you about your condition, conduct a physical examination, and order any necessary testing (for example, we may ask you to undergo an X-ray, which we can perform on site). Then, based on our findings, we’ll formulate a treatment plan that’s customized to your unique needs.
