Abordaje fisioterapéutico en paciente de 70 años con lumbalgia crónica.

This clinical case deals with the physical therapy treatment of a 70-year-old patient with chronic low back pain, a condition that severely affects her quality of life and functional performance. The patient suffered from persistent low back pain that occasionally radiated to the right hip, limiting her ability to perform daily activities and affecting her overall well-being. In order to prevent relapses, we taught her pain management techniques and the importance of good posture and performed exercises at home. Through ongoing follow-up care, treatment could be adapted to the patient's changing needs, thus achieving sustainable results. This case report demonstrates the efficacy of a comprehensive physical therapy approach in the treatment of chronic low back pain in the elderly and highlights the importance of personalized treatment that addresses both physical symptoms and psychosocial factors.
