Can running cause lower back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: When you run your muscles work hard to support your spine & lower back & this can lead to lower back pain. Muscle associated pain, bone associated pain & discogenic pain can occur. Strength training is significant to help prevent lower back pain. Yoga & physical therapy may also help. And make certain your running shoes are of good quality. Also try stretching & exercising prior to running.
