Like any other sport, golf can produce injuries to the lower back, resulting in lower back pain. The most common injuries from golf include muscle strains, which can occur from a forceful swing, repetitive swinging motions, poor swinging mechanics or poor lifting techniques when carrying a golf bag.
A little effort to prevent a back injury or lower back pain goes a long way. Treatment options include resting the back properly after injury, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, a range of interventional medicine procedures, and more.
