A muscle strain is very similar to a sprain. The main difference is that a strain affects the tendons attached to muscles and bones, not simply joints. Strains can occur with varying degrees of severity, from overstretching to tearing. If the strain isn’t severe, you might be able to heal a muscle strain at home with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (referred to as RICE). However, if the strain is moderate to severe, you may need to make an appointment with Sports and Family Medicine of Boerne.
