Sharp and recent muscular pains
affecting a muscle in the low back
(lumbago)
uring back movement, for example
D
when lifting something, when turning or
when standing up straight after bending
down, a sudden pain can be triggered in
the low back. Those who suffer from this
problem present a contracture of the low
back muscles and feel a sharp pain in this
region; because they cannot stand com-
pletely straight, they remain bent over on
one side. All of these symptoms indicate
what is known as lumbago, which is
principally the result of a sharp and in-
tense contracture of the low back muscles
(lumbar region).
I n a situation such as this, it is always ne-
cessary to consult a doctor to receive ap-
propriate treatment
I n addition to such treatment, the specific
Compex Lumbago programme can help
effectively to relax the muscles and re-
move the pain.

eglected for many years, muscle preparation
N
has today become indispensable for the competi-
tive athlete. In this respect, muscular electrostimu-
lation is a complementary training technique
widely used by an increasing number of athletes
aiming to improve their level of performance. In-
creasing the maximum strength of a muscle or im-
proving the capacity of muscle fibres to sustain
effort over long periods of time are objectives that
differ according to the sporting discipline being
practised. The programmes of the Compex Sport
category are designed to improve the muscle qua-
lities of competitive athletes training seriously on
a voluntary basis for at least five hours a week.
Use of programmes of the Sport category is not suitable for atrophied muscles that
have suffered any kind of pathological process.
