Due to Low back injury,muscle strains occur:
A low back sprain or strain can happen suddenly,or can develop slowly over time from repetitive movements.
COMPARISON BETWEEN MUSCLE STRAIN AND SPRAIN:
*Strains occur when a muscle is stretched too far and tears,damaging the muscle itself.
*Sprains happen when over-stretching and tearing affects ligaments, which connect the bones together.
~Common causes of sprain and strain include:
*Lifting a heavy object,or twisting the spine while lifting
*Sudden movements that place too much stress on the low back,such as a fall.
*Poor posture over time
Sports injuries,especially in sports that involve twisting or large forces of impact.
While sprains and strains do not sound serious and do not typically cause long-lasting pain,the acute pain can be quite severe.
