Natural Treatment for Sprains, Strains, and Other Injuries of the Muscles and Joints

If an individual stresses a muscle beyond its capability, the muscle will become strained; it may knot up instead of relaxing. Putting undue weight on the muscles and using the muscles for prolonged periods without rest can create muscle strain.
When the ligament connecting bone to muscle is stretched beyond its capability, the ligament may tear, causing a sprain. The soft tissue surrounding the joint may be sore, swollen, and bruised. The joints most often injured are the ankles, back, fingers, knees, and wrists. Sprains may result from unexpected movement or twisting of the affected area or from a hard fall. These types of injuries are common in athletes.
The following supplement program can help these injuries heal.
