LOWER BACK SPRAINS AND STRAINS TREATMENT WITH OUR MIDTOWN NEW YORK CHIROPRACTOR

When you put too much pressure on the muscles and ligaments in your lower back, you can end up with sprains or strains. This causes back pain that can make your usual activities awkward or uncomfortable to do. At NuView Health Medical in NYC, we offer chiropractic care, physical therapy and other treatment options to help you recover from these back problems. 

Causes of Sprains and Strains in Your Lower Back

Stretching or pulling your muscles too much or too far can cause them to tear, which results in muscle strain. When you stretch your ligaments too much, this can also cause tears, leading to sprains. Working out or playing sports, especially when you twist and turn your back frequently, can cause you to sprain or strain your lower back. Rough contact sports, such as football, are another common cause of these injuries. You can also get sprains or strains through overuse if you perform tasks that put a lot of pressure on your lower back.

Symptoms of Sprains and Strains in Your Lower Back

When you have a sprain or strain in your lower back, the most common sign is soreness in the affected area. You might also have some swelling or stiffness that affects your range of motion. The pain that strains and sprains cause can become worse when you move your back certain ways.
