Compensation for Back Strains Caused by Work
A back strain (also known as a pulled back) normally affects the lower back, and is caused when surrounding muscles are over-stretched or torn. This may be the result of a single traumatic accident, or due to overuse of the muscles, and their gradual deterioration over time.
Back strains are the most common form of lower back pain, which the TUC declared early in 2011 to be an 'epidemic' in the UK, costing around 44 million lost working days each year. Both 21st century lifestyles and working practices are increasingly sedentary, and this weakens muscles in the back, making them more susceptible to a strain.
