Lumbar muscle strain is a common injury. If it is not treated in time, it will have a great impact on the health of patients.
Many have this problem of lumbar muscle strain, but most people think that this tension can be alleviated by rest and do not need treatment. But in actuality, lumbar muscle strains are very harmful and brings endless pain to the patient.  Therefore, it is essential to do a good job in the prevention and treatment of lumbar muscle strain. 
1. If lumbar muscle strains are not treated in time, you may become susceptible to many orthopedic diseases such as lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis, lumbar vertebral bone hyperplasia, etc. In addition, some patients with lumbar muscle strain often have difficulty concentrating on work due to low back pain; some even suffer from anxiety or depression as a result. 

2. Muscle spasm or atrophy can also be caused by lumbar muscle strains. Patients will not only suffer from symptoms but also have difficulty in bending over. As the severity of this strain becomes more prolonged; severe spasms or atrophy of the lumbar muscle may occur; making it impossible to lie down to sleep.

3. The occurrence of lumbar muscle strains can cause radiating pain in the lower limbs of the patient. Generally, this affects the patient’s ability to walk; resulting in limping. The clinical symptoms of lumbar muscle strain include radiation pain which spreads from the waist to the back of the thigh and calf, ultimately resulting in numbness. Patients with severe pain and lumbar muscle strain require bed rest as it can extend to the bottom of the foot. Cases of extreme severity may feel like an electric shock, accompanied by numbness.
