Soreness in sit-ups may be caused by lumbar strain, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation and other reasons.
1. Lumbar strain: in the sit-up process, if the action is not standardized, the two sides of the lumbar muscle exertion is not synchronized, it is easy to cause lumbar muscle strain, which will cause the symptoms of soreness.
2. Lumbar muscle strain: if often do not standardize sit-up action, lumbar muscle fatigue occurs chronic strain, will also cause lumbar pain and other symptoms.
3. Lumbar disc herniation: If there is a history of lumbar disc herniation, the lumbar spine needs to lean forward as much as possible when doing sit-ups, which will cause extrusion of the intervertebral discs, aggravate the nerve root stimulation, and cause soreness and pain symptoms.
If sit-ups cause lumbar pain, you should go to the hospital in time, under the guidance of the doctor’s standardized treatment.
