- Poor posture from prolonged sitting. This can reduce the blood supply to the muscles, thus causing spasm and contraction.
- Repetitive or faulty lifting methods can cause the QL muscles to be overused.
- Injuries to the nerve in the low back region can affect nerve supply to the QL muscles.
- Degeneration/ wear and tear in the lumbar region such as bulging disc and facet arthropathy can cause inflammation, which leads to muscle contraction and spasm.
