It is the leading workmen’s comp injury and cause of disability in people under the age of 45. Back pain is ranked second in diagnosed leading to surgery.

Acute back pain may gradually ease and clear up after a month or so. When the pain is due to trauma resulting in a back sprain or strain the pain may gradually clear up. Muscle strains and sprains are often grouped together and referred to by physicians as musculoligamentous injuries of the lumbar spine.

Back Strain – Lumbar Strain
The tendons are fibrous bands that are connected muscles to the bone. With a back strain, the muscle fibers in the low back are stretched or torn. The tendons that help support the spine in the low back may also be twisted, pulled, or torn. The result is a lumbar strain, also diagnosed as a low back strain.

Lumbar Sprain - Back Sprain
A sprain is the stretching or tearing of a ligament which is a tough band of tissue that connects two or more bones at a joint and prevents excessive movement of that joint.Low back muscles and the ligaments are stretched or torn with a lumbar sprain.

Chronic back pain is classfied if the pain persists for three months or more. This may become progressively worse and the cause can sometimes be difficult to determine. A complete physical exam must be completted done as well as lab tests and x-rays. A CT scan and MRI may be necessary before the cause of the chronic back pain is determined.
