They allow movement between bones, which allows you to do things like flex your foot or move your fingers. While ligaments are extremely strong, they can be stretched or even torn, resulting in different grades of <strong>sprains<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <strong>three grades of ligament injury<\/strong>: grade 1, a mild ligament tear, grade 2, a moderate ligament tear, and grade 3, a complete ligament tear, otherwise known as a <strong>rupture<\/strong>. Common ligament tears are to the ankle, knee, wrist, thumb, neck, or back ligaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to follow the R (rest) I (ice) C (compression) E (elevation) treatment protocol immediately after a ligament injury. Using the <strong>Photizo Sport<\/strong> after the initial <strong>R.I.C.E.<\/strong> treatment will help to accelerate healing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-1-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-1-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-1-500x500.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-1-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.photizo.net\/nam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/06\/page-1.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Some of the benefits of using the<strong> Photizo Sport <\/strong>include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reduces inflammation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increases blood circulation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boosts endorphin production<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blocks pain transmitting chemicals<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eases pain<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Non-invasive<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pain-free<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simple to operate<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safe<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ligaments are bands of strong, flexible tissue that connect bone to bone or bone to cartilage throughout your body.
