Activity modification, bracing, and traditional core-strengthening exercises may not be the most appropriate treatment for athletes experiencing EB LBP. Addressing cognitive-affective factors in addition to correcting maladaptive motor behavior and moving in a pain-free range reduces nociceptive input, desensitizes the nervous system, and allows athletes to gain control over their pain.

Therapeutic, Level IV: Case study.

This study provides sports medicine clinicians with a prognostic tool to help manage young athletes with EB LBP. Clinicians can make decisions regarding rehabilitation and return to play based on MRI findings.
