I take care of a lot of golfers with low back pain. Um, options are the same as anybody else. You start with over-the-counter medications, prescription medications if you need to, physical therapy, progress to injections, and then ultimately, if the pain is not relieved or symptoms aren’t relieved, the surgical options are reviewed with the patient.
For golfers specifically, surgical options have to be tailored to that patient. That involves really getting to know the patient, knowing the patient’s goals, really understand that what’s wrong with them, and trying to get them better with the least intervention possible so that they can get back to golfing.
