lumbar strain

Spine muscle pull

Lumbar strain is an injury to the muscles or tendons of the lower back, typically from overexertion, improper lifting, or sudden movement.

The lumbar region bears much of the body's weight, making it vulnerable to strain: The doctor diagnosed a lumbar strain and recommended rest.

Most cases heal with time, though they often recur.
