Pulled muscle in back
Back strain often involves the lower part of the back (lumbar sacrum and spine ). A strained back occurs in the tendons or the muscles of the back. It’s a common injury that could result from a fast movement, fall or lifting, collision with another athlete, or any action. Back strain (pulled muscle in lower back) affects the pain associated with this injury in the lower back or lumbar area.

Pulled muscle in lower back rehabilitation and prevention
After the use of ice treatment in amounts that can help ease discomfort and reduce inflammation, heat therapy is considered. Recovery from muscle strain in the back varies depending on the severity of the person’s strain, location and general health. When the muscles have started to heal, they must receive some use to prevent atrophy and wasting. Exercise to restore and strengthen the back helps avoid the recurrence of the injury.
