Problemas en la espalda

Non-PRO Spanish to English Marketing Tourism & Travel Tours
Another translator told me that it is not correct to say "back PROBLEMS" for the regulations of a tour, he asssumed that I must use "conditions"

Context: Este tour no se recomienda a personas con problemas en la espalda.
My try: This tour is not recommended to persons with back problems/conditions.

Is "problems" incorrect" in that context?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Zantike2 (asker) May 11, 2016:
We usually say "heart conditions", would it be correct to say "heart and back problems"?

Back problems

Sorry, but I don´t see the issue with "back problems!" as it widely used in the tourism industry and by excursion providers.

There many examples on the Internet:
