These are common injuries that occur when a ligament within a joint stretches or tears. When you come to Reddy Urgent Care with a strain or sprain, we’ll determine its severity and the appropriate treatment. These injuries can be quite painful, but there are many ways of treating the pain and healing the injury. Usually, over-the-counter medication can address the pain adequately. Many strains and sprains can be treated at home with ice packs, compression, and elevation of the injured area. However, for severe sprains and torn ligaments, sometimes surgical intervention is necessary. If you do require any surgery, we’ll offer you the appropriate referral and medications.
