Cricket Injuries Lower Back usually take the form of stress fractures in the lumbar vertebrae, particularly in young teenage, fast bowlers. Other areas that could be damaged include the disc, facet joint or surrounding soft tissue.
Spondylolisthesis (Which is a forward slipping of one vertebrae over another vertebrae), affects younger bowlers more than older players, however older players can still suffer with spondylolisthesis.
Cricket injuries lower back pain is not exclusive to fast bowlers
It is equally devastating when it happens to batsmen or wicketkeepers. There are many reasons why these type of injuries occur. Poor technique while bowling (called a mixed action technique), overbowling and relative youth are the common culprits.
Other possible causes include poor physical preparation, the impact forces associated with the delivery stride, inadequate footwear, and previous injury.
Early detection and diagnosis is very important to prevent further damage. Following this, treatment includes Chiropractic with physiotherapy for pain and rehabilitation for several weeks or until the person can reach pre-clinical status.
The focus of the rehabilitation is twofold: Firstly, determining if the damaged joints are safe and stable and if they are damaged then SHUTTING DOWN ALL SPORTS RELATED ACTIVITY.
Secondly, and equally as important when the joints are safe, strong and stable is to manipulate the joints so that proper biomechanics can be restored to the lumbar spine.
Thirdly, is to retrain the core muscles which are responsible for spinal stability and retrain the bowler to use proper biomechanics when bowling.
Fourth, is strengthening of the entire trunk, upper and lower body in order to help the body deal with the huge impact forces associated with fast bowling.
Biomechanical changes are often necessary and these can be achieved by means of collaboration between the Chiropractic physician the medical doctor, the physical therapist, the trainer and the coach and the parent in adolescent bowlers.
