• Lumbar nerve root irritation injury or “pinched nerve” is a common injury, where the nerve is compressed as it passes out of the tunnel in the side of the spine.
• Symptoms are often felt on one side of the back and may radiate into the buttock, hip or even down the leg.
• Symptoms are varied but include pain, pins and needles, muscle weakness, numbness, muscle spasm, stiffness and reduced movement.
• Management includes education about the injury and how to avoid aggravating factors.
• Manual therapy and neural mobilisation techniques to decrease compression on the nerve and improve its mobility are often helpful.
• Strengthening of the lower back, core, and hip musculature is typically a mainstay of treatment.
• Anti inflammatory medication and pain killers can be helpful in managing symptoms.
• Imaging is not required to diagnose lumbar nerve root irritation injury but may be considered for more severe cases with signs of significant neural compression.

• BPPV is a mechanical problem of one of the labyrinth organs in the back of the ear.
• This organ has fluid filled canals which pick up rotational movement of the head, as well as specialised apparatus called otoliths which are coated in calcium carbonate crystals, which detect vertical and horizontal acceleration.
• Crystal can become dislodged from the otoliths and find their way into the canals, altering the way the fluid in the canals move
• This results in the left and right labyrinth organs sending conflicting movement information to the brain, resulting in vertigo.
• While often considered a self-limiting condition, the average time to recovery is over a month.
• Diagnosis is based on specific tests which stimulate each canal and result in symptoms as well as a specific movement of the eyes called a nystagmus.
• Treatment involves a series of specific head movements based on the canal involved and whether the crystals are free floating or stuck, to roll the crystals out of the canal.
If you suffer from vertigo which you feel may be BPPV, book an appointment with one of our experienced physios to treat the condition and get you back In Balance!
