use the slash - sprain/strain

There is not a "right way." It is preference, and I personally prefer the slash over the hyphen.

Use a slash when you have two words or letters to link together. For example: OB/GYN, Hematology/Oncology, V/Q scan.
Use a hyphen when you want to modify a word. For example: low-protein diet, high-protein diet, well-differentiated, poorly-differentiated.
