A sprain is an injury that occurs when a joint is subjected to a forceful wrenching or twisting that tears or stretches its ligaments but does not dislocate the bones. Strain refers to a similar injury of muscles or tendons, while subluxation is a partial dislocation of a joint. Bursitis is an inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that cushion the joints, and compression refers to a condition in which an area of the body is compressed or squeezed.
