Prevention of sacrolumbalgia: A health challenge - Prevention is health and quality of life

Sacrolumbalgia or lumbago syndrome is characterized by the presence of acute or chronic pain of the lumbosacral spine. It is the most costly disease between 30 and 60 years of age and one of the leading causes of disability in industrialized and non-industrialized countries. The vast majority of episodes of low back pain are benign, non-incapacitating and self-limiting. Many patients with low back pain receive inappropriate or unnecessary treatment, as well as many unnecessary and costly investigations. The postures that we erroneously adopt in our lives favor the appearance of this syndrome, being the prevention of low back pain one of the fundamental pillars of its treatment, in order to diminish its serious socio-economic repercussions. Therefore, we propose with this work to prevent through Health Education the appearance and recurrence of sacrolumbalgia and to make a pleasant, illustrative and easy to understand brochure to develop educational activities in hospitals, clinics, schools, workplaces and communities.
