What Causes Severe Back Pain After Lifting Weight?
I lifted heavy weight with what I thought was proper technique. My back popped and it put me in severe pain for about a minute. I went to my inversion table, which I use regularly and it seemed to help. Its still painfull in certian postions but nothing I cannot deal with. Can you advise?

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to low back strain. I suggest to ice your back to reduce pain and swelling as soon as you injure yourself. Apply heat to your back but only after 2-3 days of icing it first.Take painkillers yo relieve the pain. Use support to prevent further damage.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
