Dr. Tim Maggs shares a follow-up case involving a 17-year-old athlete who first visited his office at age 15 with chronic low back pain while playing football. After reporting relief with orthotics and a right-sided lift, the athlete returned two years later for replacement orthotics.

Dr. Maggs explains how updated imaging informed a change in lift height and discusses his approach to monitoring biomechanical balance during growth.

He also reviews why persistent low back pain in young athletes warrants careful evaluation, including consideration of bone marrow edema and spondylolysis. Learn how he uses clinical findings and, when indicated, MRI with STIR imaging to guide further assessment and management.
