If you participate in sports or lead an active lifestyle or recently suffered a bout of ill health, you could be experiencing a muscular injury. Muscular injury is one of the major problems facing individuals who participate in sporting activities today.

Muscular injuries can cause severe pain and impairment. This can lead to lack of movement and mobility, which in turn forces the body to compensate by using additional muscles. This can in turn, hinder the healing process.

Even minor muscular injury can lead to a chronic pain pattern which may continue for months or possibly years. This is due to the nervous system - which stays on alert waiting for the scar tissue to heal and become aligned with muscle tissue.

It is imperative to deter these injuries from happening if at all possible, so keeping healthy, participate in a programme of regular exercise and introducing warm-up and stretching techniques should reduce the chances of getting muscle injuries.

The healing process:

The muscles with the body heal very differently than your bones. For instance, if you fracture a bone, as long as it is set in plaster and fixed in place properly, it will tend to heal so thoroughly that it may become stronger than it was before the injury.

However, your muscles do not actually heal with muscle tissue, but with "foreign" substances, which include collagen. The resulting scar tissue may be weaker, less elastic, and highly prone to repeat injury. This is why once a muscle is damaged or injured, it can repeatedly cause pain and sporadically flare up.

Current medication:

The usual standard medical response to muscular injuries is still mostly pain killers, anti-inflammatory drugs and bandages. Medication does little more than numb the pain and suppress the inflammation. The pain is temporarily reduced, but these types of medication do not actual aid the muscle healing process.

Medication in some instances, actually slow down the healing process, and too much rest can be counterproductive. Muscle tissue needs a certain amount of movement as it heals, and will begin to atrophy (shrink) if not used.

Increase the way the body heals itself:

Scientifically designed electrical impulses are transmitted from the sculptured foot pads. This induces muscle stimulation – the muscles contract and release to pump the blood and improve circulation.

Common condition associated with muscular injury:

"Tennis Elbow".

The most common injury affecting the elbow is commonly known as tennis elbow. This condition is usually found in adults aged between 30 and 50. Most of the injuries associated with tennis elbow is overuse, this may be characterised by progressive tendon degeneration.
