    Soft tissue injuries like sprains and strains can occur from overstretching or tearing of ligaments, muscles or tendons. Sprains involve injuries to the ligaments around a joint, while strains are muscle or tendon injuries. Both result in pain, swelling and limited movement. Muscle cramps can be caused by factors like exercising after eating, chilled muscles, dehydration or pregnancy. To treat cramps, one should gently stretch the contracted muscle and straighten the associated joint.
