Definition of Hamstring Strain
A hamstring strain refers to a tear or strain that affects the muscles or tendons of any of the three hamstring muscles: biceps femoris, semitendinosus, or semimembranosus. This type of injury is particularly prevalent in the AFL (Australian Football League) and is responsible for the most substantial amount of player game time lost. Despite research efforts, hamstring injuries continue to be on the rise in sports.
These injuries often occur during the deceleration phase of sprinting, typically toward the latter part of a match. The primary risk factor for such injuries is a history of previous hamstring injury. Additionally, prior injuries often lead to the formation of scar tissue.
The high correlation between previous injury and subsequent occurrences underscores the importance of effective treatment and comprehensive long-term rehabilitation plans. Moreover, evidence supports the implementation of prevention programs that target modifiable risk factors to mitigate the frequency of these injuries.
What are the Symptoms of Hamstring Strain?
The symptoms of a hamstring strain can range significantly based on the severity of the injury, which can vary from a mild strain to a grade 3 muscle tear. The presentation of symptoms can also be quite diverse. Individuals with a hamstring strain may encounter a sharp and intense pain while running or participating in physical activities. Alternatively, they might experience a gradual, dull ache that intensifies over time. Some people describe feeling a pinching sensation as well.
Regardless of the specific symptoms, common indicators of a hamstring strain include a noticeable reduction in power and explosiveness during movements. Pain can become apparent when the affected muscle is engaged in resistance, and athletic performance may suffer as a result. It’s important to note that the extent of symptoms can be influenced by the severity of the strain and the individual’s overall condition.
What’s the Treatment for Hamstring Strain?
The treatment for hamstring strain at Advanced Health Chiropractic involves a comprehensive approach that targets various factors to facilitate a full recovery. The primary focus areas of the rehabilitation program include:
- Correcting Abnormal Movement Patterns: Identifying and addressing any abnormal movement patterns that might contribute to the strain.
- Hamstring Strength: Prioritizing the development of hamstring strength, especially eccentric strength, which plays a crucial role in preventing future injuries.
- Flexibility: Improving flexibility in the hamstring and the muscles around it to enhance overall range of motion.
- Adverse Neural Tension: Addressing any tension or compression in the nerves that may be exacerbating the condition.
- Muscle Imbalance: Working to balance the strength and coordination between the quadriceps and hamstring muscles.
- Biomechanics: Correcting altered biomechanics that might contribute to strain during movements.
- Training Program: Ensuring that training programs are appropriately designed to avoid overloading and excessive stress on the hamstring muscles.
- Return to Running: Gradually transitioning back to high-speed running while closely monitoring progress and ensuring proper rehabilitation.
By addressing these factors in a systematic and comprehensive manner, Advanced Health Chiropractic aims to provide effective and tailored treatment for hamstring strains, aiding in both recovery and injury prevention.
