Breakthroughs in treatment of spine and back conditions

Breakthroughs in treatment of spine and back conditions
(American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons) Approximately 21 million visits were made to physicians’ offices due to back problems in 2006. While countless adults experience back pain and stiffness, many suffer from serious spine and back conditions — including injury, herniated discs and the deterioration of the vertebrae. Three new studies presented at the 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons detail advances in back care and treatment options for specific back and spine conditions.

Effectiveness of manual therapies: the UK evidence report

Effectiveness of manual therapies: the UK evidence report
Conclusions: Spinal manipulation/mobilization is effective in adults for: acute, subacute, and chronic low back pain; migraine and cervicogenic headache; cervicogenic dizziness; manipulation/mobilization is effective for several extremity joint conditions; and thoracic manipulation/mobilization is effective for acute/subacute neck pain. The evidence is inconclusive for cervical manipulation/mobilization alone for neck pain of any duration, and for manipulation/mobilization for mid back pain, sciatica, tension-type headache, coccydynia, temporomandibular joint disorders, fibromyalgia, premenstrual syndrome, and pneumonia in older adults. Spinal manipulation is not effective for asthma and dysmenorrhea when compared to sham manipulation, or for Stage 1 hypertension when added to an antihyper…

The Association between Smoking and Low Back Pain: A Meta-analysis

The Association between Smoking and Low Back Pain: A Meta-analysis
Conclusions: Our findings indicate that both current and former smokers have a higher prevalence and incidence of low back pain than never smokers, but the association is fairly modest. The association between current smoking and the incidence of low back pain is stronger in adolescents than in adults. (Source: The American Journal of Medicine)

Does the presence of psychosocial “yellow flags” alter patient–provider communication for work-related, acute low back pain?

Does the presence of psychosocial “yellow flags” alter patient–provider communication for work-related, acute low back pain?
Objective: To determine whether patterns of patient–provider communication might vary depending on psychosocial risk factors for back disability. Methods: Working adults (N=97; 64% men; median age=38 years) with work-related low back pain completed a risk factor questionnaire and then agreed to have provider visits audiotaped. Verbal exchanges were divided into utterances and coded for content, then compared among low-, medium-, and high-risk patients. (Source: Acute Pain)

Lumbar spine spondylolysis in the adult population: using computed tomography to evaluate the possibility of adult onset lumbar spondylosis as a cause of back pain

Lumbar spine spondylolysis in the adult population: using computed tomography to evaluate the possibility of adult onset lumbar spondylosis as a cause of back pain
Conclusion  No significant increase in the prevalence of lumbar spondylolysis was demonstrated in patients older than 20 years. This suggests that the development of symptomatic lumbar pars defects do not occur in this population and should not be considered as a rare but potentially treatable cause of new onset low back pain in adults. This study demonstrated an overall prevalence of pars defects of 8.0% in our population. As demonstrated in previous studies, the male to female ratio of 1.5:1 was a statistically significant difference.

A 33-year-old school teacher with no significant medical history or medication use presented with 3 months of lower back pain, proximal muscle weakness that limited his ability to stand, urinary frequency, and nocturia. Although denying dry mouth, dry eyes, or polydipsia, he describes frequent photophobia during this period. There was no blepharospasm, tearing, or decreased vision. On physical examination, blood pressure was 110/70 mm Hg and pulse rate was 72 beats/min. He had tenderness over his ribs bilaterally and painful restriction to flexion and extension of the ankle and knee joints. Proximal muscle strength in the upper and lower limbs was 4/5, deep tendon reflexes were present as a normal ankle jerk, superficial reflexes were normal, and there was no sensory deficit.

The association between isoinertial trunk muscle performance and low back pain in male adolescents

The association between isoinertial trunk muscle performance and low back pain in male adolescents
Abstract  The literature reports inconsistent findings regarding the association between low back pain (LBP) and trunk muscle function, in both adults and children. The strength of the relationship appears to be influenced by how LBP is qualified and the means by which muscle function is measured. The aim of this study was to examine the association between isoinertial trunk muscle performance and consequential (non-trivial) low back pain (LBP) in male adolescents. Healthy male adolescents underwent anthropometric measurements, clinical evaluation, and tests of trunk range of motion (ROM), maximum isometric strength (STRENGTH) and peak movement velocity (VEL), using an isoinertial device. They provided information about their regular sporting activities, history and family …
