Presentation Transcript

  1. Low back pain is a worldwide health issue that affects up to 80% of the adult population. Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is defined as pain that lasts more than three months or longer than the planned treatment duration; it is one of the most frequent and expensive musculoskeletal diseases in modern society. CLBP is experienced by 70% to 80% of adults at some point in their lives. Its treatment consists of a variety of intervention strategies, including non-medical and medical interventions such as surgery, drug therapy, and rehabilitation.

  2. Causes of Chronic low back pain Though some risk factors have been identified (including occupational posture, depressive moods, obesity, body height, and age), the origin of the LBP remains obscure. According to Dr. BoorgulaMeherThej, the spine, is the most common source of lower back pain. Sometimes, an increase in back pain can also be due to an increase in depression.

  3. Treatment of Chronic low Back Pain explained by  BoorgulaMeherThej Currently, back pain is mainly treated with analgesics (pain killers). Alternative therapies include physical therapy, rehabilitation, spinal manipulation, and disk surgery.  Determining how to alleviate lower back pain is critical. The most commonly used scales to define this symptom are the visual analog scale (VAS) and the numerical rating scale (NRS), but some studies also use the Oswestry Scale, the Quebec Scale, and the McGill Pain Questionnaire. Dr MeherThej AIIMS said,  Rehabilitation exercises were effective in reducing pain and disability, and improving quality of life. Pilates, Back School, McKenzie, and Feldenkrais all lessen pain. Rehabilitation exercises are more efficient than a pharmacological or instrumental approach in reducing disability, and most importantly, when it comes to improving all psychological aspects.

  4. Pilates for Low back pain Exercises • The Pilates method is one of the most popular exercise programs in clinical practice. Pilates is more effective than any other treatment for pain and disability. The following are some popular Pilates exercises: • Pelvic Curl • Single-Leg Lifts • Chest Lift • Supine Spine Twist • Shoulder Bridge Prep • Side Bend • Basic Back Extension

  5. Back school for Low back pain Exercises Some Back School Treatment Goals for Patients who attend back school: Functional recovery Reduce symptoms (pain) Increasing tissue repair Decrease kinesiophobia In Back school treatment, you will learn about the anatomy and function of the spine, spinal biomechanics, pathophysiology of common back disorders, and their epidemiology. Some posture training in standing, lifting, bending, lying, sitting, and so on, as well as active spine protection by active movements/exercises such as stretching of the lower limb muscles; stretching of the erector spinae muscles; kinaesthetic training (move pelvis making a front and back pelvic inclination at a comfortable area); core strengthening (stabilizing function).

  6. McKenzie for low back pain Exercises • The McKenzie method is not appropriate for everyone. It is best to avoid this method if you have had back surgery. If you have a serious condition, such as a spinal fracture, you should avoid this. If you decide to try the McKenzie practice on your own, make sure you move slowly.  Sudden movements may aggravate your symptoms. Stop exercising immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms in one or both legs: • increasing pain • numbness • Tingling • Some popular McKenzie exercises for lower back pain: • Lying on your stomach • Lying on a pillow • Prone on your elbows
