In this video, I will talk about 4 causes and treatments of back pain after running.
Just like general back pain, there can be a series of reasons that lower back pain may
pop up with runners.
Some are more common than others, and some are more severe than others.
Here are some common causes of back pain after running.
1.
A pulled muscle.
The most common reason for lower back pain is a pulled muscle.
This could be from stretching too vigorously, combining various workouts that lead to too
much focus on a particular muscle group, or more.
If you get lower back pain when running, this is typically the most common reason.
While this is considered minor, it should still be treated as serious.
2.
Too much impact on joints.
Unless you have a perfect medical history with no record of joint issues in your family,
sometimes there can simply be too much impact on your joints and this can cause back pain
when running.
This is can be true whether you are just starting, or even if you are an experienced runner.
3.
Stretched ligaments or tendons.
A more serious pain issue could be the result of a torn or stretched tendon or ligament.
This results in a sharper kind of pain that you should be able to distinguish from traditional
muscle pain.
This occurs because a ligament or tendon is over-extended, and you’ll start to feel
it in the back when this happens.
4.
Herniated lumbar disc.
Arguably a serious condition, this occurs when the soft center of a lumbar disc weakens,
the jelly center is going to leak out and irritate the roots of your nerve, causing
back pain.

Treatments of back pain after running.
The good news is that there are plenty of things that you can look at doing to help
ease the pain.
1.
Get some much needed rest.
Take a break from running for a while.
Start by taking a week or so off to allow your body to heal and repair any damage no
matter how seemingly small your pain level is.
2.
Alternate heat and ice therapy.
Another common way to help with pain is alternating between heat and ice packs.
For example, with muscle pulls are involved, heat packs tend to be more helpful since they
open up the veins and promote blood flow.
For something like a disc issue where the area is irritated, a cold therapy wrap will
probably be more soothing, as it will help dull the swelling as much as possible.
3.
Gentle Stretching.
Gentle stretching and slow, careful exercise can also help when it comes to pain management
when you have lower back problems.
4.
Over the counter pain medication.
Medication can help when the pain is keeping you from doing your regular daily activities
or keeping you up at night.
These can be used regularly, or just when needed during the healing process.
So just to recap, the 4 causes of back pain after running are.
1.
A pulled muscle.
2.
Too much impact on joints.
3.
Stretched ligaments or tendons.
4.
Herniated lumbar disc.
