Suggest Treatment For Lower Back Pain

I have been experiencing sharp pulling pain when bending over. It lasts a few seconds and is difficult to straighten myself up again. I am a 36 year old female, weight 145 and 5 5 tall. I am very active, running, triathlons, bike racing, etc. It feels like a muscle is being pulled, but this happens 1-2/month and has been going on for 8-10 months.

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
if you have pulling pain sensation from your back to the lages this shows there is compression of nerve or the nerve is disturbed at your back but then since it happens only once or twice in a month again it shows it is in primary stage and will be really useful for you if you take care of it now. as a physio i suggest if you really want to know what's going on at your back you can go ahead with mri scan and then you can visit a physiotherapist who will guide you for different spinal exercises which will help to strengthen your spine and also will improve your spinal stamina.
this exercises will be based on your report and it includes strengthening, twisting, stretching, combination of all.
at any point if there is a severe pain i suggest to use hot and cold pack to relax the soft tissues as well to have healing effect on soft tissues.
at any point if the pain becomes too much in terms of intensity as well as moreover frequent or continuous you can also take our opinion from your orthopaedic doctor.
Take care.
