What causes a back strain or sprain? Twisting or pulling a muscle or tendon can result in a strain. It can also be caused by a single instance of improper lifting or by overstressing the back muscles. A chronic (long-term) strain usually results from overuse after prolonged, repetitive movement of the muscles and tendons.
Tight muscles:
Symptoms of muscle strain include:
A muscle strain, or pulled muscle, occurs when your muscle is overstretched or torn. This usually occurs as a result of fatigue, overuse, or improper use.

Overview. A muscle strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon — the fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones. Minor injuries may only overstretch a muscle or tendon, while more severe injuries may involve partial or complete tears in these tissues.
A thoracic spine strain is due to stretching and tearing of the muscle fibers that support the spine. This may happen because of severe coughing or heavy lifting. Or it may be caused by twisting injuries of the upper back, such as from a fall or a car or bike accident.
A lumbar strain is an injury to the lower back. This results in damaged tendons and muscles that can spasm and feel sore. The lumbar vertebra make up the section of the spine in your lower back.
For starters, dorsalgia is severe back pain, which could be coming from different parts of the spine. Depending on the specific section of the spine where the pain is coming from, there are six types of dorsalgia.
Dorsalgia means back or spine pain, including low back, mid back, and sciatic pain. It does not include pain related to scoliosis, lordosis, or other specifically classified conditions.
