Lower Crossed Syndrome Relief In St. George, UT
Understanding Low Back Sprain/Strain
Low back sprain/strain injuries are a common cause of low back pain. The low back consists of five stacked vertebrae, separated by cushioning discs, and stabilized by muscles and ligaments. Sprains occur when ligaments—tissues that connect bones—are stretched or torn, while strains involve partial tears in muscles or tendons that help move your low back. This can be compared to a fraying rope when the tissues are pushed beyond their limits.
Around 70% of people experience low back pain at some point in their life, and many of these cases are linked to sprain/strain injuries. While these injuries can result from sudden trauma, such as a fall or direct blow, they more often stem from repetitive overloading due to poor posture, prolonged sitting, improper lifting techniques, and repetitive movements. These stressors gradually wear down muscles and ligaments, leading to pain and discomfort.

- Soft Tissue Therapy: To reduce inflammation and promote healing in damaged muscles and ligaments.
