Sprains & Strains

Sprains & Strains Treatment in Stockton

We’re Committed to Providing Fast, Thorough Care in the San Joaquin Valley

When you twist a part of the body or it is struck with blunt force, sometimes sprains and strains can happen, and you may even sustain a fracture at the same time. These common injuries occur in athletes, people who have highly physical jobs, or even at home by accident. Symptoms may include pain, inflammation, or bruising. Mild sprains and strains are easily treatable with the “RICE” method, or “rest, ice, compression, and elevation,” which is crucial in the first few days following your injury. Your doctor can help you with diagnostic testing to determine severity of your injury should it require a cast, surgery, or pain medication.

Have you sustained a sprain or strain in Stockton, Manteca, Modesto, or Lodi? Simply walk into one of our urgent care facilities or contact us for a same-day appointment to cut back on wait time by calling (209) 224-8517 now.

What Are Sprains and How Do They Affect You?

A sprain occurs when a ligament, the tissue that holds two bones together, is over-stretched or torn, and it can be very painful and can take a significant amount of time to heal. 

Sprains are graded on a scale: 

  • Mild (grade 1) can cause stiffness, swelling and minor tenderness and pain. 
  • Moderate (grade 2) sprains are more painful and also cause swelling and tenderness. 

Severe (grade 3) sprains involve one or more ligaments being severely torn. These sprains can cause severe pain, swelling and bruising. Your joint may even feel wobbly after suffering this injury.
