Lumbar sprain and strain treatment can help relieve lower back pain, stiffness, muscle tightness, and limited mobility caused by injuries to the muscles and ligaments of the lower back. At Ollet Chiropractic, we help patients in West Kendall recover from lumbar sprains and strains through personalized chiropractic care and rehabilitation strategies.
Lower back injuries can occur after a car accident, sports activity, lifting injury, or repetitive movements throughout daily life. While some cases improve with time, others continue to cause discomfort and interfere with work, exercise, and everyday activities.
What Is a Lumbar Sprain or Strain?
A lumbar sprain occurs when the ligaments that support the lower back become stretched or torn. A lumbar strain affects the muscles or tendons in the lower back. Both injuries can cause pain, inflammation, and reduced movement.
According to Cleveland Clinic, back sprains and strains are among the most common causes of lower back pain and can range from mild discomfort to significant limitations in movement.
Symptoms That May Need Lumbar Sprain and Strain Treatment
Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the injury. Some people experience sudden pain after an injury, while others notice symptoms developing gradually.
- Lower back pain
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Stiffness when standing or walking
- Pain when bending, lifting, or twisting
- Reduced range of motion
- Tenderness in the lower back
- Discomfort after prolonged sitting
Lumbar Sprain and Strain Treatment After a Car Accident
Car accidents often place sudden force on the lower back. Even low-speed collisions can cause soft tissue injuries that lead to pain, inflammation, and restricted movement. In many cases, symptoms may not appear until hours or days after the accident.
If your lower back pain started following a collision, it is important to receive a professional evaluation. Early treatment may help reduce discomfort and improve recovery.

How Lumbar Sprains and Strains Differ from Disc Injuries
While lumbar sprains and strains involve muscles, tendons, and ligaments, disc injuries affect the spinal discs located between the vertebrae. Both conditions can cause lower back pain, but treatment recommendations may vary depending on the source of the problem.
