Article Synopsis
- The increasing number of young athletes is leading to higher instances of acute and chronic back pain, primarily due to muscular issues, but certain symptoms require careful evaluation.
- Proper diagnosis involves a medical history, physical exams, and imaging techniques, especially when pain is accompanied by red flags like night pain or neurologic symptoms.
- Common causes like spondylolysis can often be treated with conservative measures, and most young athletes can expect to return to sports post-treatment, though some may need to avoid high-impact activities.
