Scoliosis Back Pain

Scoliosis Back Pain
Scoliosis back pain is a great conundrum for dorsopathy patients, since this spinal curvature condition is often blamed for sourcing symptoms, yet treatments are rarely, if ever, successful. Scoliosis describes a spinal abnormality in which the patient suffers an atypical side to side curvature of the spine at one or more locations. Some patients have a single abnormal curve, generally referred to as a “C” curve, while others have 2 or more abnormal curves, generally referred to as an “S” curve.

The relevance of childhood developmental factors to the efficacy of acupuncture on the affective component of back pain.

The relevance of childhood developmental factors to the efficacy of acupuncture on the affective component of back pain.
Authors: Straiton N There is substantial evidence to support the use of acupuncture in the treatment of low back pain. The main predictors of chronic low back pain are non-medical and psychosocial. The understanding of how acupuncture can modulate the pain experience has recently been enhanced by the elucidation of the role of C fibre afferents on the limbic system. C fibre deactivation of the limbic system can only occur in the presence of intact corticosubcortical neuronal pathways. The normal development of these pathways is determined by social factors in the early years of life. The effect of acupuncture treatment for low back pain may be determined by successful relationships between the mother and child in the first 18 months of life.

[From GRIP to multimodal pain therapy : A concept asserts itself.]

[From GRIP to multimodal pain therapy : A concept asserts itself.]
Authors: Hildebrandt J, Pfingsten M Low back pain is still a big medical and social problem. During the last few decades a change of paradigm in treating non-specific low back pain has happened: physical activity and exercise therapy are now recommended as the first-line treatment in all relevant national and international guidelines. In chronic cases only biopsychosocial treatment concepts are successful, which have been introduced in Germany in 1990 in the form of the GRIP (Göttingen intensive low back program) for the first time. Meanwhile, this treatment has now been recommended by all evidence-based guidelines but we are still in the beginning of a full coverage care in Germany.

Research Reporting Standards for Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation

Research Reporting Standards for Percutaneous Vertebral Augmentation
SINCE the first description of vertebroplasty in 1987 for the treatment of aggressive hemangiomas (), vertebroplasty has become established as a safe and effective, minimally invasive procedure that offers a therapeutic option for patients with back pain from osteoporotic or tumor-related fractures. This initial success has spawned additional techniques for percutaneous vertebral augmentation, in which imaging guidance is used to inject radiopaque bone cement into a painful osteoporotic or neoplastic lesion in the spine. The typical treatment for a vertebral compression fracture involves the injection of bone cement into the vertebral body to fixate the fracture. Two of the most common methods involve either injection of a low-viscosity cement directly into the vertebral body (ie, vertebro…

Spinal segmental stabilisation exercises for chronic low back pain: programme adherence and its influence on clinical outcome

Spinal segmental stabilisation exercises for chronic low back pain: programme adherence and its influence on clinical outcome
Abstract  Exercise rehabilitation is one of the few evidence-based treatments for chronic non-specific low back pain (cLBP), but individual success is notoriously variable and may depend on the patient’s adherence to the prescribed exercise regime. This prospective study examined factors associated with adherence and the relationship between adherence and outcome after a programme of physiotherapeutic spine stabilisation exercises. A total of 32/37 patients with cLBP completed the study (mean age, 44.0 (SD = 12.3) years; 11/32 (34%) male). Adherence to the 9-week programme was documented as: percent attendance at therapy, percent adherence to daily home exercises (patient diary) and percent commitment to rehabilitation (Sports Injury Rehabilitation Adherence Scal…

Spondylolisthesis Options

Spondylolisthesis Options
Spondylolisthesis is one of a great number of structural abnormalities in the spine which are often blamed for creating the ideal circumstances for chronic back pain. However, evidence suggests that the vast majority of cases of vertebral misalignment are completely harmless and asymptomatic. This should be of no surprise, since medical sciences’ pre-occupation with the many suspected anatomical sources of back pain have led many a patient down a long and winding road of unsuccessful treatment and failed back surgery.
