The human body has many soft tissues that are susceptible to injury. These include the many different muscles, tendons and ligaments in the body. Soft tissue injuries include sprains, strains and bruising and can involve swelling and pain. This type of injury can be caused either as a result of an episode of trauma or can arise over a period of time as a consequence of repetitive strain on parts of the body. Conditions such as bursitis and tendonitis fall within this category. One of the most frequently sustained types of traumatic soft tissue injury is a whiplash injury sustained to the upper back and neck as a consequence of a motor vehicle collision. Also common are the types of repetitive strain injury that are sustained in the workplace. These types of soft tissue injury generally affect the lower back, wrists, knees and upper arms and include frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, tenosynovitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
