Basketball back pain may be due to lactic acid buildup, muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation, etc. You can rest, massage and hot compresses and medication to relieve the pain.
1. Lactic acid buildup: After the patient performs the exercise, the anaerobic metabolism of the muscle tissues may cause the body to produce more lactic acid, thus showing the symptoms of soreness and pain. Patients should take appropriate rest to relieve the pain.
2. Muscle strain: If the amount of exercise is large, it may lead to a large degree of muscle involvement, which in turn leads to muscle strain, showing pain symptoms. Patients can massage the affected area with hot compresses to promote blood circulation and relieve pain.
3. Lumbar disc herniation: If the patient has a lumbar disc herniation, he needs to lie on a hard bed. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as diclofenac sodium can be used under the guidance of a doctor to relieve pain. Surgery can be performed to remove the herniated nucleus pulposus tissue when the condition is severe.
If the patient has back pain from playing basketball, he should go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
