The difference between a sprain and a strain is what structure is involved in the injury. A sprain is an injury to a ligament, which are the bands of tissue that connect two bones together. 

A strain, on the other hand,  involves an injury to a muscle and/or a tendon, which is a band of tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone 

Regardless of the structure injured, a strain, or sprain, proper management is the best way to get back to your normal activity and lifestyle.  More severe strains and sprains may need additional time to heal and may benefit from physical therapy to help you regain strength, range of motion, and normal walking or mobility.
