Numerous injuries fall into the categories of sprains, strains and fractures. Sprains happen when excessive force is applied to a joint and damage results to the ligaments that hold the bones together. Common areas of the body to sustain sprains are wrists, ankles, knees and fingers.
Strains refer to the tearing or stretching of muscles or tendons. The tendons connect the muscles to the bones.
Fractures are cracks or breaks in bones. They occur when more pressure is applied to the bone than it can withstand. Commonly, fractures are the result of falls.

Overuse injuries impact everyone from athletes to workers to gamers. In fact, they occur in anyone who uses one part of their body in a repetitive manner. Carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis and tendonitis are all examples of this disorder that means one part of the body is injured from over-exertion. The pain is often focused on a joint and affects surrounding muscle, bone, tendon or bursa of the joint. Physical therapy is effective as a treatment for repetitive use injuries.
