Low Back Pain: Lumbar Sprain vs. Strain #backpain #physicaltherapyclinic

Do you know the difference between a Lumbar Sprain vs. Strain? 🤷‍♀️

🦴Lumbar Sprains are injuries to ligaments in the Lumbar Spine region
💪 Lumbar Strains are injuries to the muscles or tendons in the Lumbar Spine region.

Both sprains and strains typically have a Mechanism of Injury that includes overstretching of the tissue due to increased activity/load or trauma.

This excessive stretch to the Lumbar muscles, tendons, or ligaments results in injury! 🤕
