Sore muscles and aching joints can place a toll on everyday activities. Fortunately, you don’t have to put up with the pain.
Sore muscles, tendons or ligaments can add unwanted stress to everyday life.
The simplest tasks, such as walking, bending, driving or gardening, seem to r
equire more effort.
But rather than tough it out, you can reduce both pain and inflammation.
COMMON COMPLAINTS
Our bodies are prone to sprains, strains, aches and pains.
- A sprain occurs when a ligament, which connects the bones of a joint together, is overstretched,
torn or both. It’s often caused by a sudden action that over-extends the joint, such as twisting an ankle.
- A strain, also known as a ‘pulled muscle’, is when a muscle or tendon is overstretched or torn,
either partially or completely. It may be caused by unexpected exertion, such as lifting something
very heavy.
- Dull muscle aches and sharp muscle pains can be caused by overuse of a muscle,
due perhaps to digging up the garden or a lengthy run. Muscle aches and pains may involve microscopic
damage to the muscle fibres.
