Acute Lumbar Strain
Acute lumbar strain, also known as a pulled muscle or muscle strain, typically occurs due to the overstretching or tearing of the muscles or tendons in the lower back region. There are several factors that can contribute to the development of acute lumbar strain:
- Sudden, forceful movements
- Poor posture
- Weak core muscles

- Repetitive activities
- Poor body mechanics
