Back Pain - Exercises That Are Available
I find it amazing that studies have revealed that back pain will plague up to 80% of people at some point of their life. One of the reasons that most people go to visit a doctor is due to lower back problems, whether this is from an accident or the need to be referred to a physiotherapist.

CBT sessions ‘help’ back pain

CBT sessions ‘help’ back pain
Conclusion This well conducted randomised controlled trial found that group CBT was of benefit to people with chronic lower back pain compared with individuals who received one-off advice on how to manage their condition through activity modifications and symptom control. Although the therapy was effective, the researchers noted that 63% of people attended ‘sufficient’ CBT sessions to potentially benefit and 11% did not attend any of the sessions. Further research would be required to find out how to increase the numbers who attended the sessions. People who received CBT were also unlikely to have been using this intervention in isolation to manage their back pain, as advice was given to them about modifying their activities and pain medications. It should also be noted that this manag…

Correction of lumbar coronal plane deformity using unilateral cage placement.

Correction of lumbar coronal plane deformity using unilateral cage placement.
Authors: Heary RF, Karimi RJ The authors describe a surgical technique for the correction of symptomatic degenerative lumbar scoliosis. Using a single, unilateral, interbody cage placed on the concave side of the coronal deformity, combined with a dorsal decompression and instrumented posterolateral fusion, this technique has resulted in excellent curve correction, fusion results, and clinical outcomes in a series of 4 patients. Each of these patients presented with intractable, axial low-back pain and symptomatic unilateral nerve root compression on the concave side of a lumbar scoliotic deformity. The management is described in detail. PMID: 20192720 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Neurosurgical Focus)

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…

Lumbar Herniated Disc - What You Can Do to Fix Your Herniated Disc and Remove the Lumbar Pain
Fixing a lumbar herniated disc does not always mean precisely the same to everyone. Generally it either would mean either help me get rid of the back pain, or help me treat the herniated disc. Often the result at first may be the very same but the outlook is without a doubt critical.

Topical NSAID Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain

Topical NSAID Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain
Conclusions. Topical NSAIDs may vary significantly in their absorption kinetics and pharmacodynamic effects, based on NSAID molecule and the formulation chosen. Some topical NSAID formulations have been shown to be more effective than placebo in multiple studies, or to have comparable efficacy and a better safety profile than oral NSAIDs for single joint osteoarthritis and acute muscle injuries. In acute and chronic low back pain, widespread musculoskeletal pain, and in peripheral neuropathic pain syndromes, the current evidence does not support the use of topical NSAIDs.

The relationship between hip abductor muscle strength and iliotibial band tightness in individuals with low back pain

The relationship between hip abductor muscle strength and iliotibial band tightness in individuals with low back pain
Background: Shortening of the iliotibial band (ITB) has been considered to be associated with low back pain (LBP). It is theorized that ITB tightness in individuals with LBP is a compensatory mechanism following hip abductor muscle weakness. However, no study has clinically examined this theory. The purpose of this study was to investigate the muscle imbalance of hip abductor muscle weakness and ITB tightness in subjects with LBP. Methods: A total of 300 subjects with and without LBP between the ages of 20 and 60 participated in this cross-sectional study. Subjects were categorized in three groups: LBP with ITB tightness (n=100), LBP without ITB tightness (n=100) and no LBP (n=100). Hip abductor muscle strength was measured in all subjects. Results: Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with the…
