What Causes Lumbar Strain?
Disease description:
I always experience lower back pain, and my doctor diagnosed it as lumbar muscle strain. I would like to ask: What causes lumbar muscle strain?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Shengqiang
The primary triggers of lumbar strain are soft tissue injuries—such as those affecting the muscles, fascia, and ligaments—caused by excessive load on the lumbar region. Examples include prolonged sitting or standing, improper lifting of heavy objects, and extended weight-bearing activities involving the lower back. Additionally, obesity is another contributing factor to lumbar muscle strain. If recurrent low back pain or chronic lumbar pain occurs, prompt medical consultation is recommended.
