One of the scariest things that can happen in the life of a young athlete is having to deal with injuries. The uncertainty of getting good treatment and the rehab process is something that keeps even the toughest athletes up at night. One of the scariest injuries that young athletes have to deal with are injuries to their Low Back.

It’s hard to know whether or not you have a minor injury that is caused by overuse or something more serious that could require surgery and keep you out of competing longterm.

The good news is that once you understand the usual core causes of low back pain in young athletes, you can actually do something about it with some very simple and inexpensive treatments.

What are the Most Likely Causes of Low Back Pain and
Stability Issues in (15-35 year old) Athletes?

Low Back Pain and Instability can be caused by a lot of different things but, in athletes between the ages of 15-35, the most likely culprit is typically muscles that have been pulled or used past the point of exhaustion. The key to effectively treating these low back conditions is to understand exactly how a muscles can become so overused that it is pushed to the point of injury or overuse.

In the typical athlete, a low back issue typically starts long before the actual real pain sets in. For most athletes Low Back Issues work like this.

Step 1: The "No Big Deal" Injury

The athlete experiences a minor injury like a sprained ankle or a minor fall.

Step 2: Playing Through it

Most athletes play through this minor injury and, minus some soreness, the pain goes away within a few days.

Step 3: The Body Adaptation Phase

Even though the pain of the previous small injury goes away, the body starts to adapt to the injury. This adaptation is usually a group of muscles tightening to compensate for the injury. This group of muscles is often in the Low Back since it serves as a pivot point in the body.

Step 4: The Weakened Muscle Group

After an extended period of compensating for an injury that was never adequately treated, the muscle group becomes exhausted and opens the body up to pain from the fatigue.

Step 5: The Big Injury

Typically the big low back injury comes from the effects of the injury that was never treated and the exhausted muscles that helped the body adapt to that injury. This is a common core cause of Low Back Pain that is bad enough to keep you from playing or walking in a normal way (due to severe pain).
So if the Low Back Pain you’re experiencing is coming from a group of muscles that has become exhausted from compensating from an earlier injury… How do you Fix the Underlying Problem and Get out of Pain? (see below)
