Dr. Steve Choi answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Cause more injury: As a general rule, if you have injured your back, you may not be able to play well due to the pain, since it may affect your running and overall movements required to play soccer, and possible lead to other injury or aggravate the back pain.

Dr Sneid and another doctor agreed
