Lumbar Muscle Strain

A lumbar muscle strain occurs when the muscles in the lower back are overstretched or torn, often due to improper lifting, sudden movements, or repetitive use. This type of injury is one of the most common causes of acute lower back pain. Individuals may experience localized pain, muscle spasms, and stiffness that worsens with movement but improves with rest.

Treatment for a lumbar muscle strain typically includes rest, cold or heat therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and gradual reintroduction of movement. Physical therapy and chiropractic care can help speed up recovery by promoting proper lumbar spine mechanics. Preventing future strains often requires strengthening core muscles and learning safe movement techniques.
