A member asked:
What is some long or short term damage that can be/is caused by back contortion and what are the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say...: It depends what you mean by "contortion." if you overstretch ligaments and muscles, you'll experience a period of pain and inflammation until these tissues heal. Worst case scenario could include vertebral fractures and disc herniation. Be kind to your back!
