A lumbosacral strain is a medical term for an injury that causes low back pain . Specifically, the lumbosacral area refers to the low back and exists between the bottom of the ribcage and the top of the buttocks. Generally speaking, a strain is defined as a tearing of muscles and tendons. Importantly, these tears can be small but still cause a significant amount of pain. Muscles and tendons connected to the spine can be strained in a number of ways, including the following:

Some individuals do not need treatment for lumbosacral strains as it is possible the pain will resolve itself within several weeks ; however, in many cases, the pain often comes back.
If an individual’s lumbosacral strain is severe enough, surgery may be warranted. In this case, doctors would review all courses of action and choose the most appropriate given the individual’s circumstances.
For this reason, veterans should consider applying for VA disability benefits.
Veterans who are unable to work due to their service-connected lumbosacral strain can apply for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) . TDIU allows for veterans to be paid at the 100 percent disability rate if their service-connected condition (s) prevents them from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment.
