Muscle strains and sprains in the lower back are among the most common causes of back pain. These injuries can result from overuse, sudden movements, or poor posture and often lead to discomfort that disrupts daily activities. At Pelvic Prime, we specialize in effective, evidence-based treatments to help you recover quickly and prevent future injuries.
Muscle Strain: Occurs when muscle fibers are overstretched or torn, typically from overuse, heavy lifting, or sudden movements.
Ligament Sprain: Involves stretching or tearing of the ligaments that support the spine, often caused by twisting or excessive force.
These injuries can vary in severity, from mild discomfort to significant pain and limited mobility.
Localized pain in the lower back.
Stiffness or reduced range of motion.
Muscle spasms or tightness.
Swelling or tenderness in the affected area.
Pain that worsens with movement or activity.
If symptoms persist for more than a few days or interfere with your daily life, seeking physical therapy can help expedite recovery.
