Any good doctor or healthcare professional will tell you that incorporating exercises and stretching into your lifestyle is a key component for vibrant health, vitality and longevity. Unfortunately, even the most talented and gifted athletes can often experience spine pain that can temporarily or perhaps permanently cause them to stop taking part in the sports they love. Here are some of the most common symptoms, causes and treatments for back pain (and often sciatica) caused by a sports injury.
Symptoms of back pain from a sports injury can include pain in the lower back, as a severe, sharp pain, or can be a constant, longer-lasting pain. Acute back pain typically signals that a traumatic injury has happened while chronic back pain may occur and be a sign of that nagging, recurring pain from an older injury. In addition to causing pain, spoprts injuries that affects the spine can also create other symptoms, including back pain accompanied by a searing pain that goes down the buttocks into the leg, symptoms that are associated with sciatica.
Sports Injuries causing back pain can include trauma to the back from one sudden occurrence or from recurring stresses on the body. Many times, sports-related back pain is caused from overuse of a specific area of the back, such as when golfers repeatedly twist their lower backs while swinging a golf club. Most athletes will agree and are aware that most every sport comes with some risk of injury but some sports like weight lifting, cycling, and golf have a higher risk of back pain incidents - the repetitive strain/stress placed on the spine while playing the sport can cause back pain to occur - sometimes slowly over a period of years.
Most athletes can, and do, return to their respective sports when they have received appropriate treatment for their back pain. The key to recovery is making sure that there has been a correct diagnosis made by a qualified back specialist. A back specialist has the resources to conduct the diagnostic testing needed to figure out the nature of an injury and administer treatment for it. Often-times, athletes self-diagnose the reason for their back pain that can lead to further damage or more time required to recover to 'get back in the game'.
