Lower Back Pain from Sports Injuries

Lumbar spine injuries are common in athletes who participate in contact sports such as football, hockey, rugby, soccer, basketball, volleyball, etc. The lumbar region of the spinal cord consists of five vertebrae (the lowest part of the spinal column) and their associated discs. These discs act as shock absorbers between the bones of the spine and the muscles and ligaments surrounding them. Injuries to these areas can cause severe pain and disability.
