Low back pain is a common condition experienced by lacrosse athletes of all levels. Today, Dr. Kalantar, professor and chief of the Division of Spine Surgery in the Department of Orthopedics at the Georgetown University School of Medicine and the MedStar Orthopedic Institute, teaches us all about low back pain in athletes including pars stress fractures, spondylolisthesis, and general low back pain.

Dr. Kalantar shares with us the general course of treatment for an athlete with low back pain and the spectrum that exists given the intensity or severity of the condition.

Are you a PT who treats lacrosse athletes or a lacrosse athlete yourself who is experiencing low back pain? Tune into this episode to learn more about it with an expert surgeon.
