The causes, symptoms of Lumbar strain are mentioned below:

When the lower spine is strained, the muscles and tissues become swollen. This inflammation causes pain and may cause muscle cramps.

Causes:
Lumbar (lower back) muscle strains and sprains are the most common causes of lower back pain. Muscle strains and sprain are the common in the lower back because it supports the weight of the upper body and is involved is moving, twisting and bending. Lumbar muscle strain is caused when muscles fibres are abnormally stretched. Lumbar sprain is caused when ligament are torn from their attachment.

Types of Muscles Supporting the spine:

1.     Extensors (Back muscles)

2.     Flexors (Abdominal muscles)

3.     Obliques (Side muscle

 Symptoms:

   · Low back pain that may radiate into the buttocks, but does not affect the legs.

   ·       Stiffness in the lower area.
   ·       Inability to maintain normal posture due to stiffness and or pain.
   ·       Pain that persists for a maximum for 10-14 days.
         
 Treatment:

 Staying active and avoiding bed rest is recommended when experiencing back pain. Bed rest can lead to loss of muscle strength and might increase muscle stiffness, adding to pain and discomfort. Sprain and strain is commonly treated with nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory medication, if the pain is mild to sensible. Many doctors may recommend physical therapy. The therapist will perform an in depth evaluation while combined with the doctor’s diagnosis, dictates a treatment specifically designed for patients with low back pain.
