maybe you got it right but that is not a common word, maybe a regionalism or something that person said to express an idea of desgarro or acute pain, strained back.

Strains are overstretched muscles or tendons. The simplest of wilderness activities, such as hoisting a backpack or hotdogging it with a Hacky Sack, can cause strains to the lower back.

I don't know about desyanzo, but cintura is waist, not back.

I'm glad you mentioned this and you're technically right, but it is very common for latinos from some countries to refer to "la cintura or cadera" when they actually mean "lower back"... - Myneg, Nov 24, 2010
