San José, Costa Rica. June, 2016.

Did you know that backache is one of the main reasons for work disability in the world?

Also known as lumbago, this ailment can become a great obstacle for leading a normal life. Although it is not an illness as such, it is a symptom that something is happening in our body, so that it is very important to resort to a health professional.

As Fabián González Gutiérrez, specialist in physical therapy of the Clínica Bíblica , explains, “it is important to classify the kind of lumbago by evolution time (acute or chronic) and discover the cause.”

In these cases, physiotherapy is a great ally, since the physical therapist is the health professional in charge of assessing and treating the different muscle and skeletal causes that cause lumbago.

Among the benefits of physiotherapy is that it is a conservative treatment that makes a movement and global analysis of the person.
