- Sprains and Strains -

• Symptoms: The first symptom of a sprain or strain injury is pain. Other symptoms, such as swelling and spasm, can take time (from minutes to hours) to develop.
  
• Cause of Symptoms: A sprain or strain may come on after a specific incident, such as direct trauma from falling onto an outstretched hand, or it may gradually progress after many repetitions of a certain motion that is performed at work or as part of a recreational activity.
  
• Treatment of Symptoms: FLEXTEND® can help strengthen damaged, over-stretched muscles; assisting in their return to or beyond pre-injury levels by increasing their strength, endurance and flexibility and overall range-of-motion.
