Can controlling early morning lumbar flexion revolutionize chronic low back pain management?

In 1998, Snook, et. al., conducted 18-month randomized controlled trial with partial crossover which is aimed to investigate the hypothesis that the management of lumbar flexion in the early morning could significantly diminish chronic, nonspecific low back pain. Previous research has suggested an elevated risk of low back pain associated with forward bending during the early morning, primarily attributed to increased fluid content in the … Continue reading Can controlling early morning lumbar flexion revolutionize chronic low back pain management?

How do lymphocyte profiles unveil insights into chronic low back pain treatment?

In 1994, Research led by P.C. Brennan, et. al., have delved into the lymphocyte profiles of patients enrolled in a clinical trial focusing on manipulative therapies for chronic low back pain (LBP) with mechanical origins. The study, conducted at a chiropractic teaching clinic in suburban Chicago, aims to contribute valuable insights into the immune system’s role in chronic LBP. The randomized controlled trial involved baseline … Continue reading How do lymphocyte profiles unveil insights into chronic low back pain treatment?

Manual Therapy vs. physical methods: Which Is superior for spinal function disturbances?

In 2012, study led by Paweł Szulc, et. al., aimed to assess the effectiveness of manual therapy in addressing functional disturbances of the spine. With an aging population and an increasing prevalence of degenerative changes in intervertebral discs leading to spinal pain, finding effective treatment methods is crucial. The study involved 40 participants aged 45 to 60, who had been diagnosed with degenerative changes in … Continue reading Manual Therapy vs. physical methods: Which Is superior for spinal function disturbances?

Does combining orthoses with kinesitherapy improve neuromotor performance in lumbar instability patients?

Chronic low back pain often stems from various underlying factors, one of which is spinal instability. Despite its significance, there remains a lack of consensus regarding its precise definition and clinical relevance. Additionally, effective conservative treatment protocols have not been firmly established. Addressing this gap, in 2005 study conducted by M. Celestini et. al., sought to unravel the relationship between symptomatic characteristics and radiological findings … Continue reading Does combining orthoses with kinesitherapy improve neuromotor performance in lumbar instability patients?
