Question: I play forward on a high school team. I have a question about my back. Sometimes when I get checked, my low back gets painful and it goes into spasm. What causes this? Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
Answer: The problem that you are describing may have many different sources which can cause pain. Low back pain can be from either the back itself (a bony or soft tissue problem), or from a problem in some of the deep organs in the lower part of the torso (especially the kidneys).
