An injury to a muscle-tendon component is called a muscle strain, or also known as muscle trauma. In a muscle strain, some amount of damage in the muscle fibers, or the part where muscle and tendon meet, the tendon or the bony insertion point occurs. Based on the clinical picture seen, a muscle strain in Laveen can be mild, moderate or severe. The most common mechanism to cause a muscle strain is overstretching of the involved muscle. Muscle pull is another name for a muscle strain.
Muscle strain is often felt as stiffness, localized pain and a bruised feeling. Typically, a muscle strain has a knot component generally known as a tender point, states Dr Chad Stewart DC. In a strained muscle, pressing on this tender point and producing referred pain will cause this to be labeled as trigger point.
An involuntary contraction of a muscle that develops from painful nerve activation is called a muscle spasm.
