Common causes
- Disc herniation, facet joint syndrome
- Sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, overload
- Sacroiliac dysfunction, piriformis syndrome
- Spinal stenosis (often in older patients)
Symptoms
- Low back pain, stiffness
- Radiation into the buttock or leg (sciatica)
- Difficulty sitting or standing for long periods
Diagnosis
Our approach
The first step is always a medical consultation. Complementing this: clinical assessment and neurological tests by the physiotherapist. A safety screening is the priority: any red flag (loss of sphincter control, progressive neurological deficit, unexplained fever) means immediate referral, no delay. For common low back pain without red flags, imaging is not systematic; an MRI is performed with Dr Massimo Donalisio if neurological signs persist.
Care at Off-Field
- Physiotherapy (manual techniques and therapeutic exercises)
- Physical preparation (core work, global strengthening, under close physio supervision)
- In coordination with Dr Massimo Donalisio when indicated: targeted injection / perineural hydrodissection (disc or inflammatory terrain)
