Acute back pain or lumbago: is the appearance of severe pain in the lower back, usually appears abruptly to make an effort to lift a weight or doing a simple "wrong move" from the trunk inclination to incorporate us. They present a real column lock.
chronic low back pain: They are low lumbar pains, diffuse, often on one side, sometimes radiating towards the buttocks, pain increases with effort and fatigue and calms with rest. We recommend carrying out a radiological study to rule out any degenerative or disc processes.
Prevention:
- Lumboabdominal flexibility and strengthen muscles.
- Advise not to carry out violent sports
