The general health care community will certainly tell you that routine stretching, running, playing sports, etc... is a crucial component for long-term health and longevity. Having said that, many athletes often experience sciatica, or some type of back pain associated with sciatica, which can briefly or perhaps even permanently cause them to stop participating in their specific sport. Symptoms, causes and treatments for spine pain caused by a sports injury are listed below.
Lower back pain from a sports accident can often reveal itself as an acute, sharp pain, or a persistent, longer-lasting pain. Acute back pain typically signals that a traumatic injury has occurred - can be a sports accident where blunt trauma happens in the back - like a football player getting hit. Chronic back pain, on the other hand, may occur as a lingering pain from an earlier injury that the athlete just cant seem to shake. In addition to causing pain, a sports injury that impacts the back may also cause other symptoms, including limb numbness and tingling associated with sciatic nerve pain.
A sports trauma injury can originate from one sudden impacting occurrence or from recurring stresses on the body. Many times, sports-related back pain results from overuse of a certain area of the back, such as when baseball players repeatedly twist their lower backs while swinging a baseball bat. Most every sport comes with some risk of injury but there are certainly some sports that have a higher risk of back pain incidents - the repeated strain/stress placed on the spinal column over a long period of time can cause back pain to eventually occur - like a tennis player or golfer.
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'.
