The lumbar region supports the weight of the body, protects the spinal cord and it allows the body to move by providing attachment sites for muscles. The muscles located closest to the vertebrae (back bones) help to provide stability to the spine. The muscles located further from the vertebrae play a role in movement of the spine. Ligaments are like strong ropes that help connect bones and provide stability to joints. The low back is subjected to high amounts of stress with bending, twisting and/or lifting activities. If the muscles and ligaments around the spine are stretched too far, or have too much load placed on them, it may result in small tears in the tissue and a microscopic amount of bleeding. There is usually pain and tenderness around the muscles or ligaments that are injured. The affected muscles may also tighten up to protect the injured area. People with back strains usually complain of the following problems:

Weakness in their leg muscles / Loss of leg muscle endurance / Pain and numbness that travels down either leg / Pain that is made worse by sneezing, coughing, or sitting down / Pain that is associated with fevers, weight loss, or anything else that suggests that they are feeling unwell / Pain that wakes them up at night, or is worse when lying down. People with these warning signs need to see a doctor about their back pain right away.
