What is the medical term meaning back pain?

What I think you are looking for is "lumbago" which per definition is a symptom of lower back pain that can have numerous causes, it is preffered to use the cause as diagnosis (diagnostic codes) if known. Back pain can be caused by many different things of which one is strain of the lower back muscles. .A strain is caused by a tear/injury to muscles or tendons. There is no word other then strain in english for what you are asking for to my knowledge other than some direct translation to latin that is not used internationally.
