WHAT IS A STRAINED BACK?
A strained back is the aggravation and inflammation of muscles and tendons in the back. It may be caused by overuse or repetitive strain, improper stretching, or pulling the muscles during one particular motion. The particular muscles affected are the paravertebral muscles that are found on either side of the spine in the lower back. The muscles are used during everyday events such as walking or sitting down, but are especially strained during lifting. For a baseball player, the area is further strained by batting. During the motion of swinging the bat, the player quickly twists or wrenches his back. The injury is age- and weight-related. Athletes are far more likely to strain back muscles as they grow older. But strained backs are not limited to athletes. Many people strain back muscles while lifting heavy boxes or participating in sports, as they grow older.
