Help I Hurt My Back Deadlifting in the Gym!

First things first, I don't believe that everyone who is experiencing low back pain after a deadlifting workout is dealing with their first episode of low back pain. In fact, I would venture to say that this is true for the majority of people who now have lumbar pain. It has been my experience (28+ years) that people have unresolved low back pain issues that have gone dormant so to speak and are now painful again after their car wreck, marathon, yard work or even working out. My practice which is based on Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, prides itself on teaching you how to resolve your low back pain issues once and for all. 

If it were me, and my back was hurting from working out, and knowing what I now know,  I would immediately lie face down (prone) for a few minutes and concentrate on relaxing and deep breathing in this position.   If this didn't ease my pain, I would rest for two days and try this again.  If this didn't work and it was making my pain worse or limiting my ability to move my low back, I would then seek help because there may be more treatment required to resolve your issue.  

If you are willing to heed the advice here, chances are that you can decrease your symptoms dramatically without medications, but will not fully resolve your lumbar problems.  This means next time you workout heavy, drive too far, garden too long, sit at a computer or at your desk in poor posture, your low back pain that has been unresolved or not fully treated will appear again.  Aren't you tired of this cycle?  Do you  know that with low back pain there is generally some type of inhibitory response in your leg strength?  Once your issues are resolved you will be stronger than ever and have opportunities to set personal records in the gym, on the field, and on the track.
