BREAK VS. SPRAIN

Did you know that it is virtually impossible to tell the difference between a break and a sprain without going to your doctor? A sprain is a stretch and/or tear of a ligament, which is the tissue that connects your bones. On the other hand, a break is a fracture, splinter, or complete break of a bone. Both sprains and breaks can easily happen during physical activity, and should be looked at by a doctor to ensure proper healing.
