The interspinous ligament is a ligament that connects the thoracic, lumbar and sacral vertebrae, that is, between the upper and lower spinous processes, and is connected by the spinous ligament. Interspinous ligament injuries are mostly caused by bending over, moving objects, flash convulsions, etc., so clinical practice is generally more common in the lower back. Once the interspinous ligament is damaged, most patients will immediately develop persistent pain in the lower back, which is significantly limited in lower back movement, which is relieved by rest. There is significant tenderness between the spinous processes of the lumbar spine.
