What’s the Difference Between a Sprain and a Strain?

• Sprains affect your ligaments, the tissues that connect your bones to your joints.
• Strains affect your muscles or tendons, the tissues that connect your muscles to your bones.

Common symptoms:

• Pain and tenderness
• Swelling or bruising
• Limited range of motion
• Trouble walking or using the affected area

We make it fast and simple to get the care you need.

• Hands-on provider evaluation to determine the severity of your injury

You can conveniently fill medications prescribed during your visit on site, or we can send the prescription to any pharmacy of your choosing. If additional imaging or specialist care is needed, we’ll help you get referred quickly.
