However, cycling can be the cause of <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color\" style=\"color: #005fa5;\">pain, especially in the back<\/mark><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Low back pain is defined as localized suffering of the lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. Often referred to as \"common\", cyclists' low back pain is not linked to a specific disease, but rather to the origin of an injury. <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color\" style=\"color: #005fa5;\">injury to muscles, tendons or ligaments<\/mark><\/strong>. These elements, which support the spine and maintain its function, can be put under extreme stress when cycling.<\/p>\n\n<p>The disorder is mechanical, and pain can vary from patient to patient. It does, however, need to be properly managed to prevent chronic pathologies from setting in and persisting.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 50px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"501\" height=\"418\" class=\"wp-image-28649\" src=\"https:\/\/stimcareonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/STIMCARE-SPORT-DOULEURS-DOS-LOMBALGIE-CYCLISME-501x418-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stimcareonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/STIMCARE-SPORT-DOULEURS-DOS-LOMBALGIE-CYCLISME-501x418-1.jpg 501w, https:\/\/stimcareonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/STIMCARE-SPORT-DOULEURS-DOS-LOMBALGIE-CYCLISME-501x418-1-300x250.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 50px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does your back hurt when cycling?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Cycling is generally a good way to relieve lower back pain. However, when practised in the wrong conditions, cycling can lead to back pain that can be very severe. Low-back pain in cyclists can have several origins and different levels of intensity.

Your back should be straight and stable, your shoulders, arms and hands evenly supporting the weight of your upper body.
