Rob Jordan Physical Therapist talks about Back pain.
Back pain in the lower back or low back pain is a common concern, affecting up to 90% of Americans at some point in their lifetime. Up to 50% will have more than one episode. Low back pain is not a specific disease. Rather, it is a symptom that may occur from a variety of different processes. In up to 85% of people with low back pain, despite a thorough medical examination, no specific cause of the pain can be identified. * Low back pain is second only to the common cold as a cause of lost days at work. It is also one of the most common reasons to visit a doctor’s office or a hospital’s emergency department. * For 90% of people, even those with nerve root irritation, their symptoms will improve within 2 months, no matter what treatment is used-even if no treatment is given. * Doctors usually refer to back pain as acute if it has been present for less than a month and chronic if it lasts for a longer period of time
Many things can cause low back injuries–muscle strain or spasm, sprains of ligaments (which attach bone to bone), joint problems or a “slipped disk.” The most common cause is using your back muscles in activities you’re not used to, like lifting heavy furniture or doing yard work.
A slipped disk (also called a herniated disk) happens when a disk between the bones of the spine bulges and presses on nerves. This is often caused by twisting while lifting. But many people won’t know what caused their slipped disk. In most cases, slipped disks and other back pain can be relieved by following a few simple methods.

New Physical Therapy Relieves Back Pain
www.EmploymentCrossing.com 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.” To find a physical therapy job specializing in back therapy and rehabilitation, click here.
