### Understanding a Calf Strain: Medial Head of the Gastrocnemius Strain A calf strain is an injury that occurs when the muscles in the calf are overstretched or torn. Specifically, a medial head of the gastrocnemius strain affects one of the two major muscles in the calf, causing pain, swelling, and limited mobility. We often see this type of injury in athletes, particularly runners like Evan. While our trademarked “Knee Repair, NOT Knee Replacement™” program primarily focuses on knee issues, our philosophy and programs are designed to treat any joint or area of the body. Over the last 26 years, we have successfully treated various injuries and conditions beyond the knee, including muscle strains like this one. Regenerative medicine offers a promising option for healing and recovery. If you're experiencing a calf strain or any other musculoskeletal issue, reach out to us for expert care. 📞 Contact us at Victory In Motion: - Phone: 315-685-7544 or 315-707-8891 - Email: info@victorysportsmedicine.com - Websites: [https://lnkd.in/eBeXrPUU](https://lnkd.in/eksEUmhK) and [www.victoryinmotion.com](https://lnkd.in/eqj3wBmu) #CalfStrain #GastrocnemiusStrain #RunnerInjury #AthleteCare #RegenerativeMedicine #MuscleRecovery #VictoryInMotion #KneeRepairNOTKneeReplacement #SportsMedicine #ActiveLifestyle #InjuryPrevention #HealingWithoutLimits
