Abstract

Low back pain is a common symptom in athletes, hindering their activity. The etiology is tightly linked to the type of sport, often a consequence of repetitive movements, high pressures and strain being applied to the spine and adjacent muscular and ligamentous structures and a high degree of activity. The diagnosis is the key and causes are usually not severe. However, some red flags may indicate a more serious origin. Treatment is mostly conservative and based on functional therapies with the goal of a rapid and secure return to sports. As such, sedentary lifestyle should be avoided.
