Lower Back Sprain - Lumbo Dorsal Region Injury

Violent overstretching of one or more ligaments in the lumbo-dorsal vertebrae of the spine causes the Lumbo Dorsal Region injury. This is the most stable section of the vertebral column. Sprains involving two or more ligaments cause considerably more disability than single-ligament sprains.

When the ligament is overstretched, it becomes tense and gives way at its weakest point, either where it attaches to bone or within the ligament itself. If the ligament pulls loose a fragment of bone, it is called a SPRAIN-FRACTURE.

There are generally 3 types of sprains - Mild which is tearing of some ligament fibers and associated muscle spasm. There is no loss of function. Moderate which is rupture of a portion of the ligament, resulting in some loss of function. Severe which is complete rupture of the ligament or complete separation of ligament from bone. There is total loss of function. A severe sprain requires surgical repair.

Signs and symptoms of Back Sprain

• Severe pain at the time of injury.
• Tenderness at the injury site.
• Swelling in the back.
• Popping or feeling of tearing in the back.
• Bruising that appears soon after injury.

Causes of Back Sprain

Stress on a ligament that temporarily forces the lumbo-dorsal vertebrae out of their normal location. A sprain of the lumbo-dorsal vertebrae will frequently occur when a stressful act is performed when the athlete is off-balance, or during repeated stressful activity involving muscles in the lumbo-dorsal area.

Home Diet cure for Back Sprain

During recovery, eat a well-balanced diet that includes extra protein, such as meat, fish, poultry, cheese, milk and eggs. Increase fiber and fluid intake to prevent constipation that may result from decreased activity. Use Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.
