EXPLORE

Sprains and strains are overstretched ligaments or muscles, the most common acute soft-tissue injuries. At Omnia Lifestyle in Chiswick we treat them with physiotherapy, manual therapy and acupuncture to speed recovery and prevent recurrence.

Common symptoms

  • Sudden sharp pain after an overstretch or twist
  • Swelling and bruising
  • Restricted movement
  • Persistent stiffness in older injuries
  • Weakness and recurring flares
  • Scar tissue limiting full recovery

How we treat sprains and strains in Chiswick

Early on, your plan typically draws on physiotherapy and lymphatic drainage to settle swelling, then manual therapy and acupuncture as tissue heals, finishing with guided strengthening so the injury doesn't recur — recurrence is the real enemy with sprains. Red light therapy supports tissue repair throughout. Everything is chosen after a proper assessment at our clinic in Chiswick, West London.

Chronic instability suggesting a complete ligament rupture — see an orthopaedic specialist. The same joint spraining repeatedly deserves a full assessment.
