Low Back Pain in Athletes: Sports Rehab in Macon

Low Back Pain in Athletes: Sports Rehab in Macon
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons active adults in Macon step away from training. The cause is rarely just the back — it’s usually a combination of hip stiffness, core weakness, and poor load mechanics.
Why athletes get low back pain
- Hyperextension-heavy sports like gymnastics and weightlifting
- Asymmetric loading in golf, tennis, and baseball
- Weak anterior core leading to lumbar compensation
- Hip flexor and hamstring tightness limiting pelvic movement
Our evaluation process
- Movement screen to identify compensations
- Chiropractic assessment of lumbar and pelvic joints
- Soft-tissue and exercise-based rehab protocols
- Sport-specific return-to-play planning
