Low Back Muscle Strains

11/26/2017

 

Overview

  • Muscle strains are a common source of low back pain
  • ​Muscles spasms are a common symptom of irritated or strained low back muscles
  • A combination of gentle, pain free movement and a gradual return to activity are important components of rehabilitation

What is a Low Back Muscle Strain

The muscles of the low back play an important role in both moving and supporting the spine. For example, the muscles must allow the spine to move when bending forward to lift a weight, and simultaneously protect the spine from excessive stress. Whenever the muscles are stretched too far or too quickly, an injury may occur. For this reason, bending, lifting, and twisting with poor body mechanics and poor preparation for movement may increase one’s risk of injury.  Additionally, inactive people and smokers are at a higher risk of straining the low back muscles. ​

6 Low Back Pain Misconceptions

Muscle Strain Symptoms

Following a low back muscle strain, people will often experience localized pain in the region of the strain. Spine and hip range of motion will likely be restricted as these movements can stress the injured area. Even simple motions such as rolling in bed or moving from sit to stand can cause significant strain. In an isolated muscle strain, the individual should not notice any neurological signs (numbness, tingling, muscle atrophy, or other symptoms down the legs).

Muscle Strain Treatment

Picture
Treatment of a low back muscle strain will be similar to muscle strains throughout the body. In the first few hours to days following the injury, gentle pain free movements are very important. The acronym ‘POLICE’ is a great strategy to recall the important steps following a muscle strain.
  1. Protect the injured region
  2. Optimally Load or stress the region in pain free range of motion
  3. Ice can help decrease pain and inflammation;
  4. Compression will minimize swelling 
  5. Elevate the region to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage
Additionally, it is recommended to see a Doctor of Physical Therapy within the first several days following a lumbar injury. The Physical Therapist can help decrease pain and more importantly prevent injury from occurring in the future.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga.

I am so happy to share this fantastic testimony of mine. My life has changed round completely in 48hours. I can see myself in the mirror and smile. I have confidence in myself and my abilities for the first time in ages. I have my boyfriend back in my life with the help of Dr Oniha. He said sorry 24 hours after the spell was created. He said he realised that he never really wanted to break up and he could not handle emotional baggage I was carrying around all the time. He said that he thought he was the negative influence on my life and thought it best to leave. He said it was hard that I kept talking about the past all the time. We have both forgiven each other. I have money in my pocket that is my own at last. (My compensation cheque came through. I was told it was months away. I am living proof of what Dr Oniha can do. I thank you so much Dr Oniha for the wonderful thing you did in my relationship. I am so happy now. With your help we were both able to see and speak the truth to each other. I never thought a spell could help a couple before. I am very pleased to contact you and initiate all this to happen. Anyone who has a relationship problem can contact Dr Oniha via email.

I promise to share this testimony all over the world once my boyfriend returns to me, and today with all due respect I want to thank DR.ONIHA for bringing joy and happiness to my relationship and my family. I want to inform you all that there is a spell caster that is real and genuine. I never believed in any of these things until I lost my boyfriend, I required help until I found a great spell caster, And he cast a love spell for me, and he assured me that I will get my boyfriend back in two days after the spell has been cast. Three days later, my phone rang, and so shockingly, it was my boyfriend who has not called me for the past 6 years now, and made an apology for the heartbreak, and told me that he is ready to be my backbone till the rest of his life with me. DR.ONIHA released him to let me know how much I loved and wanted him. And opened his eyes to picture how much we have shared together. As I`m writing this testimony right now I`m the happiest girl on earth and me and my boyfriend are living a happy life and our love is now stronger than how it was even before our break up. So that`s why I promised to share my testimony all over the universe. All thanks goes to DR.ONIHA for the excessive work that he has done for me. Below is the email address in any situation you are undergoing, it may be a heartbreak, and I assure you that as he has done mine, he will definitely help you too.

I and my wife had a misunderstanding which led to a huge fight and she left home and returned back to her fathers house. I let my emotions got the best of me and stayed permanently away from her. Things grew worse when she started seeing another man and I never knew about it. I tried fixing the problem and getting her to return back home and she never came back. I later found out all that has been going on and decided to seek help to fix my marriage with her which made me contact Dr Isikolo. Just as expected he worked for me and the problem was fixed and I am reunited with my wife. She returned back home just after 48 hours as promised by Dr Isikolo.

If i had known that there is a possibility of getting my dream man, i would not have wasted my time with a lot of low life men. I instantly fell deeply in love with my boss right from my first day at work and for over a year, it got deeper. He was very rich, humble and single. I tried all i could to make him look my way but all was in vain. 3 months ago, i found a comment of Dr Ilekhojie and how his work is very effective. I reached out to him and explain my situation and why i needed my boss to be attracted to me. He performed supplication on my behalf and within a few days, my boss asked me out on a date and fast forward to today, we are happy in love and he has been the best thing that has happened to me. All these are made possible with help of Dr Ilekhojie. Reach out to him directly on his Email [email protected] or Whatsapp +2348147400259 if you need help like me

After I and my husband got married, we relocated to another city and we both got jobs and started working and living together happily. We never had any problems until a colleague of his started doing all she can to get my husband’s attention. I never knew all along what was going until he started sleeping out and making excuses. Things got out of control and he eventually stopped attending to my needs. I knew at that point I needed help so I contacted Dr Isikolo and explained everything to him. He told me all that has been going and promised to fix the problems for me which he did. He cast a love reunion spell for me which reunited i and my husband and he started being the man I always loved him to be just after 48 hours Dr Isikolo worked for me. We are both happy now and it would not have been possible if not for Dr Isikolo.  Contact him if you need any help, call/text him on WhatsApp via +2348133261196 or review his website (https://isikolo-temple.com)

I had always dreamt of winning the lottery and tried hard to make it happen, but it never did until I found Prophet Isaac online. He helped me win $10 million with his powerful numbers. I was a logistics manager living in Lancaster, S.C., and one day during my lunch break, I bought a scratch-off ticket at a store in Charlotte, N.C., where I work. Prophet Isaac assured me that his numbers wouldn't fail, and they didn't. He is committed to eliminating poverty from people's lives, and I can attest to his abilities. I want to share my experience with the world and recommend Prophet Isaac's services to anyone looking to win the lottery quickly. Contact him at [email protected], WhatsApp +1 (757) 237-1724
