Lower Back Pain After Golf or Tennis
Your swing shouldn’t hurt. Repair your back with advanced biologics.
Whether you’re crushing a serve on the court or following through on a powerful drive down the fairway, lower back pain after golf or tennis can stop your momentum cold.
For many high-functioning professionals, these aren’t just weekend hobbies—they’re part of how you stay sharp, mobile, and energized. When your back starts interfering with your game, it’s not just frustrating—it’s unacceptable.
Why Lower Back Pain Happens After Tennis or Golf
Both golf and tennis require complex rotational movements that put significant stress on the lumbar spine—especially at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels. Even with perfect form, your facet joints, multifidus muscles, ligaments, and sacroiliac joints absorb repeated microtrauma over time.
Pain may surface:
Immediately after a game
The next morning as stiffness
After a series of matches or long practice sessions
This isn't just soreness—lower back pain after golf or tennis often signals underlying instability or degeneration that traditional medicine tends to overlook.
The Problem with Standard Care for Active Adults
Most patients in your position are told the same thing:
“Try physical therapy”
“How about a steroid shot?”
“Maybe surgery is next”
But those are generic solutions. You deserve better than generic.
A Precision-Based Solution for Lower Back Pain After Golf or Tennis
At Pain Experts, we use advanced diagnostics and orthobiologic treatments to go beyond bandaid care. Instead of dulling your pain with steroids, we target:
Facet joint inflammation Multifidus atrophy SI joint dysfunction Ligamentous laxity
Using your own biologic materials—like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet lysate, or bone marrow concentrate—we help restore integrity, stability, and function.
Because your swing shouldn't hurt.
Solution: The Regen-Focused Advantage
With ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, we treat the exact pain generators rather than guessing. This is especially important in fit, aging athletes like you—where MRI often underestimates the real drivers of pain.
And unlike radiofrequency ablation (which destroys nerves and muscle feedback loops), our approach protects the multifidus, supports nerve health, and reduces downtime.
Most patients return to golf or tennis with:
More power
Less pain
Renewed confidence in their movement
