A new injury to these ligaments may result in excruciating pain, muscular spasms, and trouble moving. The damage could be fairly minor, making it simple to detect or misdiagnose. The lumbosacral region and the center of the lower back are where the discomfort is most prevalent. You can see swelling of the ligament surrounding the L4 or L5 spinous process upon superficial inspection. The supraspinous ligament is torn here. While the patient may experience lower back spasms after a new injury, the injured tissue will still be very soft, malleable, and sensitive because no scars or adhesions have yet formed. If you get a re-injury, you'll notice that the adhesive scar becomes stiffer and more difficult to move. Crossing against the fibers may even cause a clicking noise to be heard. It is an interspinous ligament injury if the swelling on the ligament feels like it is lateral to the spinous processes (most frequently of L4 and L5). When dealing with a new injury, utilize the Spreading

One to two inches of scar tissue may cover a fascial tear in the area of the L3 transverse process if the patient only experiences lower back discomfort on one side. The scar tissue will follow the spine in a straight line. The patient will feel sensitive and tender in this area. The L3 transverse process is the site of the injury to the anterior layer of the thoracolumbar fascia. The body may overextend or overrotate as a result of an external force. The fascia may tear if this occurs too quickly and with too much power, which could result in the lumbar spine losing control. The L3 transverse process is the most vulnerable since it is the longest of the transverse processes. The fibers will be swollen yet soft and flexible if this is a new injury. In this location, the patient will be extremely sensitive. The Reset Position Method (Fu-Ping) can be applied to the tissue with your thumb to gently push while promoting healing and preventing the formation of an adhesive scar. You will fee

 1. Thoracolumbar Fascia The thoracolumbar fascia, which is made up of the lumbar and thoracic portions of the deep fascia encasing the intrinsic back muscles, is a sizable, approximately diamond-shaped region of connective tissue. The thoracolumbar fascia, which consists of two layers, is exceptionally well developed in the lumbar region. The latissimus dorsi and serratus posterior inferior muscles' tendons make up the posterior layer. It begins at the supraspinous ligament and the spinous processes of the lumbar spine. The iliac crest, lateral sacral crest, and medial sacral crest are all covered by this posterior fascia layer. The transverse processes of the lumbar spine are where the anterior layer is derived from. This layer's inferior edge descends to the iliac crest, while its superior edge inserts into the 12th rib. The sacrospinalis and perivertebral muscle groups' myofascial sheath is made up of these two layers, posterior and anterior. The transverse abdominis ap

Lower back discomfort is one of the most often reported symptoms among patients. At least once in their lifetime, 80% of all adults are predicted to experience lower back discomfort. Particularly among patients in their middle and advanced years, the majority of them suffer from soft tissue injury and disorder. These situations almost always include repetitive re-injuries, which might happen frequently throughout the year. The lumbar spine served as the supporting structure for human activities as they evolved to allow for upright walking. The lower back is used in the majority of activities, including sitting, walking, playing sports, and turning over when you sleep. The lower back contains all articular tissues, including muscles, ligaments, fasciae, and vertebrae, according to anatomy. The organs of the abdomen and pelvis are located in front of the lumbar spine. The organs and lower limbs are under the direction of the lumbar nerves. Therefore, it is important to be vigilant in ide
