What normally causes lumbar sprains is the overuse and overexertion of the lower back. If lumbar ligaments are strained, that means that these ligaments are torn from the joints that they are attached to. This is one of the most common reasons for lower back pain. This ICD-10 code refers to the sprain of lumbar ligaments. The S33.5XXA is an ICD code that’s included in the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM, for short), and it is used to designate “ Sprain of ligaments of lumbar spine, initial encounter.”
