RESUMEN

La lumbalgia es una patología muy frecuente, que se presenta en diversas etapas de la vida, sin embargo afecta más a las personas conforme aumenta la edad (24). Es importante, que a pesar de que muchas lumbalgias resuelven espontáneamente, tener en cuenta las llamadas “red flags”; las cuales hacen referencia a signos y síntomas que pueden significar enfermedades sistémicas o lesiones a nivel local que requieren de mayor intervencionismo, o que pueden significar lesiones neurológicas. Por este motivo, se debe analizar al paciente de manera adecuada, para brindar un tratamiento efectivo, en ausencia o presencia de dichos signos, o en caso necesario iniciar estudios de gabinete.
