Patient education. Low back pain.
It is not always clear what causes acute back pain. It may result from injuries to muscles, ligaments, bones, joints and discs in the back or to injury to a combination of these structures. Increased muscle tension, for whatever reason, can increase pain. It is not usually possible to make a precise diagnosis, but in most cases the pain settles in few days or weeks. If pain persists it is important to follow up with your doctor.
