Symptoms of a Hamstring Pull

The signs and symptoms of a hamstring pull or a strain depend on the severity of the pull. In some cases, you may overlook the injury until it worsens due to limited discomfort or pain. In other situations, you notice the pain immediately.

Common signs of the injury include:

  • Sudden and severe pain in the back of your thigh
  • Discomfort or pain while walking
  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Tenderness in the area

You may notice the pain as a key symptom, but the injury is not always easy to identify. A chiropractor Fort Lauderdale professional offers the information you need to address the injury and reduce your pain.

Causes of the Injury

The causes of a hamstring pull depend on your situation. In most cases, it relates to physical activity and playing sports. You may overwork the muscle, which results in a strain. Weak glutes may also contribute to your injuries by putting excess pressure on the hamstrings. You may also develop the discomfort from a poor warm up during exercise. A chiropractor in Fort Lauderdale identifies the injury by evaluating your movements and leg. We may also ask questions about the injury to determine the underlying causes and appropriate treatment strategies.
