2. Injury and Disorder of the Supraspinous and Interspinous Ligaments

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 Method (Fen) right away to gently press the injured tissue back into its original anatomical position. You might get rapid relief from pain and muscular spasms using this technique.
