Abstract

Low back pain is a frequent complaint in the general population, that may also affect veteran athletes. Understanding the etiology of low back pain is essential for a correct therapeutic orientation, which should include behavioral changes and a rehabilitation program. In some cases, it may be necessary to associate pharmacological therapy, minimally invasive procedures, or even surgical interventions. Minimally invasive procedures include a variety of techniques and procedures that have demonstrated low to moderate degrees of evidence in pain management. As they are not risk free and have a limited duration of action, they should be reserved for cases refractory to conservative treatment.
