π Understanding Low Back Pain π
Low back pain can be a real discomfort affecting many of us. It's characterized by pain, discomfort, or stiffness in the lower back region, sometimes with or without radiating pain. Did you know it's classified based on duration?
πΉ Acute: Lasting less than 6 weeks
πΉ Subacute: Lasting 6 to 12 weeks
πΉ Chronic: Lasting more than 12 weeks
Assessment is key! Standing motion tests help determine if the pain is flexion-biased or extension-biased:
Flexion-Biased: Could indicate facet joint impairment, spinal stenosis, or spondylosis.
Extension-Biased: May point to disc lesions or fluid stasis.
Treatment varies based on the diagnosis:
π©ββοΈ Options include traction, electrotherapeutic modalities, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercises tailored to each individual's needs.
