Approximately 80 percent of the population has or will experience acute or chronic symptoms of back/spine pain at least once throughout their lifetimes, according to several research studies. While a vast majority of these issues are only temporary, and they do resolve on their own, the injuries and conditions behind the individual’s back pain can accumulate tremendous financial burdens. From the medical system over time, amounting to a considerable increase in medical expenses, including lost employee hours and a loss of productivity from the workforce if the affected individual has to take time off to recover from their specific type of back pain.
Among the many types of complications, most described as extension related low back pain, some of the most common include: spinal disc herniation and bulges; degeneration of the spine; annular tears; ligament sprains; muscle strains, particularly in the quadratus lumborum; osteoarthritis; rheumatoid and ankylosing spondylitis; facet joint sprains; and stress fractures, pars defects and spondylolisthesis.
However, bone injuries causing extension related low back pain can be a series of progressive disorders or pathologies along the lumbar spine, produced by the excessive amount of free lumbar spine extensions among many athletes. These could occur due to a postural, gradual onset of repetitive trauma, most frequently associated with sports, for instance, gymnastics.
Two specific demographic groups experience the most extension related low back pain among the general population: the first group includes individuals who stand for prolonged periods of time, such as retailers, military, security guards, etc. Holding for extended periods of time forces the pelvis to begin shifting into an anterior tilt angle, placing compressive forces against the facet joints of the lumbar spine. As these will also start to turn towards a position of extension following the pelvic tilt; and the second group includes athletes who participate in extension sports, such as gymnastics, tennis, swimming, diving, football, volleyball, basketball, track and field, and cricket fast bowlers, and experience sports injuries. This may be more distinct in sports which include extension/rotation.

An athlete’s performance can be significantly affected if they present lumbar spine complications, among others, primarily caused by joint extension injuries, which can result in limited strength as well as limited flexibility and mobility. Many athletes frequently look for the best treatment option that can return them to their original state of well being as soon as possible. However, chiropractic care can be utilized to prevent injuries and the development of painful conditions. For more information, please feel free to ask Dr. Jimenez or contact us at (915) 850-0900.
