Lumbar spine, sport and actual treatment.

Low back pains are very frequent in athletes by microtraumatisms and sudden efforts. The prolapse of the nucleus pulposus is created. After the failure of correct medical treatment, some new technics give good results: chemonucleolysis, trans-cutaneous nucleotomy, microdiscectomy. These techniques permit a faster and more active return to effort. The choice must be perfect: clinical examination and imagery manage this advance.
