Muscle Strain

As the name suggests, a muscle strain is basically when a body muscle gets overstretched, injured or torn.

Muscle Strain Symptoms

Muscle strains are generally felt by the person when they happen. The symptoms may differ from person to person depending on whether it’s mild or severe.

Common muscle strain symptoms include the following:

Muscle pain or tenderness
Muscle stiffness and weakness
Inflammation and soreness
Muscle spasms
Redness, discolouration or bruising
Restricted range of motion

Muscle Strain Causes

There are a wide array of muscle strain causes, with acute strains a result of sudden unusual movement or heavy lifting. In contrast, chronic strains are caused by repetitive injuries to a specific muscle.

Causes of acute muscle strain comprise:

Losing balance & falling awkwardly
Lifting a heavy object in an unnatural position
Regular heavy lifting
Throwing something heavy

Chronic muscle strain causes include:

Incorrect body posture for long periods, especially of the back or neck
Sports like football, cricket, baseball, tennis, golf, rowing, etc.
Athletics such as marathon, long jump, high jump, etc.

Muscle strains are most commonly experienced in the neck, shoulder, lower back & hamstring muscles and are usually caused by fatigue & inappropriate, repetitive use.

Muscle Strain Diagnosis

Muscle strains are most commonly experienced in the neck, shoulder, lower back & hamstring muscles and are usually caused by fatigue & inappropriate, repetitive use.

Diagnosis A typical muscle strain diagnosis starts with the doctor enquiring about the incident causing the strain and looking for inflammation & tenderness in the area surrounding the painful muscle.

Depending on the location & severity of pain, the doctor can get an idea of the scope and type of damage caused to the muscle. This is generally followed by diagnostic scans to reach an accurate diagnosis.

Imaging Scans Ultrasound and MRI are the two common scans conducted to diagnose muscle strain, its severity and effect on nearby tendons & ligaments.

An ultrasound is used to detect muscle tears or fluid buildup near the affected muscle and helps differentiate between various kinds of soft tissue injuries. On the other hand, an MRI enables the doctor to look for internal bleeding or blood clots and helps confirm a partial or complete muscle tear.
