Slip Disc Treatment

According to WebMD a new physical therapy technique may relieve back pain even when all other treatments fail.

Souchard’s global postural re-education — or GPR for short — employs a series of gentle movements to realign spinal column joints, and strengthen and stretch muscles that have become tight and weak from underuse.

“GPR corrects the patient’s posture and decompresses the spinal canal,” says Conrado Estol, an MD and PhD, of the Neurologic Center for Treatment and Rehabilitation in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

He presented his study at the American Academy of Neurologys 57th Annual Meeting in New Orleans.

“In our study, nine in 10 people with chronic back pain due to disc disease significantly improved and were able to return to their usual daily activities — usually within five months.”

A person with chronic back pain is in too much discomfort to perform the exercise on his own. A physical therapist guides the process, stretching the muscles along the spinal column while the patient is in the specified positions.

The treatment included two GPR sessions during the first week, then one session a week for an average of five months. Participants also practiced breathing techniques and were given a home exercise program.

Doctor Albert, assistant professor of neurology at Yale University says a success rate of 90 percent in patients with chronic back pain “is very unusual and begs for further investigation.”

• Features 144 pages
• Clear descriptions, photos and illustrations
• The most current research concerning low back pain and treatment
• Includes exercises for improving back pain and developing an athletic spine
• Learn exercises from a physical therapist

Product Description
Spinal Stabilization – The New Science of Back Pain, 2nd Edition is the most comprehensive and scientifically accurate resource for the general public on the subject of low back pain.

Updated and expanded to include the most current research regarding low back pain and its treatment, this easy-to-read guide provides readers with ‘need to know’ information about the spine, effectively taking the mystery out of back pain and its treatment.

Based upon sound and current research, ‘Spinal Stabilization’ describes how the spine and its muscles are intended to work, and how this changes once back pain sets in.

New to the second edition is a clear discussion of the critical differences between stabilization exercises used by people with back pain and those who want a more high-performance, athletic spine. This is a key area author Rick Jemmett felt compelled to address.

“There is still a significant amount of confusion in the rehabilitation, fitness and sports conditioning professions as to what truly constitiutes therapeutic stabilization exercises. The better quality research is actually quite clear on this yet many people remain stuck on the idea that exercising on a ball will correct low back pain. Some low back pain patients might feel better temporarily with such programs, but we now have the ability to do so much more than this. Instead of simply reducing the symptoms for a short while, we have the ability to achieve a true correction of the problem.”

Spinal Stabilization, 2nd Edition is divided into two sections. The first describes in detail the scientifically proven Australian approach of therapeutic segmental stabilization exercise. Clear descriptions along with illustrations and photos give readers the tools they need to correctly perform these important exercises. The second section discusses the use of ‘Integrated Training’ in sport-specific conditioning programs. This involves the simultaneous training of the body’s stability, balance and strength systems for maximum athletic performance.
