Back muscle pain is a common problem and it is a common form of back pain. Approximately each n every people suffer from this problem from moderate to severe muscular back pain at some times in their lives. Sometimes this muscle pain may be of serious nature and sometimes it may be mild. Chronic muscle pain is commonly known as myositis. Many times the condition of this muscles pain is identified incorrectly as stemming from a spinal source.

There are different types of back muscle pain -

Back Muscle Strain: This type of pain occurs when the muscle is overstretched or torn. In this condition, the actual muscle fibers are damaged. Muscle fibers are related with a chain of muscle cells which are grouped together to form a muscle. Usually these chains are tightly grouped together. In the condition of back muscle strain the links of the muscle fiber are separated or it may be broken which results into the damage of minor tissue. Among many patients these types of injuries are referred to pulled muscles in the back.

Back Muscle Sprain: In this condition of back muscular pain the ligaments are over stretched or torn. Ligaments are fibrous connecting tissues which are very tough. Muscles are connected to their attachments with the help of these ligaments. Ligaments are the chains of tough cells which are grouped together to increase their strength. In the condition of muscle sprain these chains are usually separated or even they may be torn which result into the damage of ligament or muscle.

Sometimes the condition of muscular back pain may also be the result of internal stress and tension. Psychological and emotional stress results into physical tension to build up in our muscles. That is why when we have anxiety we get the feeling of "tight". If we have a stress in our mind then muscular pain is the direct result as our mind and our body works together in all. Our mind and the body are inseparable. If we feel stress in our mind it affects our body as a direct result.

Even during some specific accident if any people suffers from a back muscle injury, in this condition also there is a chance to blame internal stress only. Tense muscles are more susceptible to injury and the side effect of emotional or mental stress is our tense muscles. For this reason only internal stress is blamed for back muscle injury in a specific accident.
