Health Tip: Strained a Hamstring?
(HealthDay News) -- Athletes are particularly susceptible to strains or tears of the hamstring, one of three sets of muscles as well as tendons between the thigh as well as the knee.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons says most hamstring injuries can be healed without surgery. The academy offers these examples of potential non-surgical treatments: - Avoid material activity, as well as take crutches incase your healthcare professional recommends them.
- Apply ice to the hamstring a few times per day, for up to 20 minutes per session.
- Wrap the hamstring in a compression bandage to help lower swelling.
- Keep your leg elevated above your heart while resting.
- Wear a splint to keep your leg still, incase your healthcare professional recommends this option.
- Get material therapy.
