Unfortunately, many of us, athletes and «not really», had to feel a sharp pain with the unsuccessful movement. Tensile ligaments - one of the main reasons limiting the physical activity of people leading an active lifestyle. How to be? What to do? And how to quickly remove pain?

What is stretching?
Stretching (distortion) -
damage to ligaments, muscles, tendons and other tissues without violating them
Anatomical Facility. Most often observed tensile ligaments
ankle or knee joint. Pathoanatomic changes
When tensile, it is consistent with individual ligament fibers with
hemorrhage in their thickness.
There are three severity of tensile ligaments:
-
I degree: a little pain due to a break of several bond fibers;
-
II degree: moderate pain, swelling and disability;
-
III degree: severe pain due to bundles and subsequent unstability of the joint.
The diagnosis is based on local pain
when palpation, bruise, which can appear in 2-3 days
After injury. Differentiate with a complete bundle break. When breaking
More severe pain is observed, the impossibility of relying on the limb,
Often - hemarthrosis.
All stretching phenomena verses after 5-10 days, and when the break continues for 3-4 weeks.
X-ray specifies the diagnosis (the separation of bone tissue indicates a complete damage to the ligament).
First aid
- Thus, the basis of treatment is early anesthesia and anti-inflammatory therapy for soft tissue injury.
- Long
Current inflammation worsens the healing process of soft tissues, which
leads to their childinity and functional failure. At
Active inflammatory process is important relative rest for the field of defeat.
-
Ice is effective as an anti-inflammatory agent only in the first hours after injury, then it is preferable to use heat.
Treatment treatment
Therapeutic treatment of damage to bundles, tendons and muscles includes primary and secondary therapy.
Primary therapy:
Secondary therapy
Prevention of re-stretching
Prevention includes massage, medicinal gymnastics, as well as moderate physical exertion.
