Common Running Injuries | Low Back Pain


As runners, we are no strangers to injury. Googling is often our go-to when we feel some discomfort pop up, but can oftentimes lead us down a rabbit hole, or provide less than accurate information. 

Doctor of Physical Therapy Raechel Bugner shares some of the common running injuries we see here at Finish Line PT, how you can diagnose them, and some recovery/rehab suggestions.

This week’s COMMON RUNNING INJURY:

Low Back Pain (LBP)

What is it?

  • Pain focused in the lower back

 

Possible Causes:

  • Usually tightness in the front of the hips and/or mid back that causes increased stress to be placed in the spine to compensate for movement.
  • Often causes increased extension in the low back and compression on spine with overuse of back musculature to maintain this posture.
