What Is The Difference Between A Sprain and A Strain?
Strains and sprains are two of the most common types of injuries.
Strain: An injury to a muscle or tendon. When a muscle or tendon is overstretched quickly, it can cause a strain. This can occur when lifting heavy objects, playing sports, or performing repetitive motions.
Sprain: An injury to a ligament. Sprains occur when a ligament is overstretched or torn due to the twisting, pulling, or bending of a joint. Common causes of sprains include sports injuries, falls, and trauma incidents.
