Back Pain Resolution
Before normal movement and function can be looked at the
aspect of pain must be considered. This is because in the
initial stages of an episode of back pain the pain is there
to prevent further damage occurring. It is important that
this pain is allowed to settle and further damage is not
caused. A few days of the CORRECT rest is normally sufficient
to achieve this. Longer than this and there are likely to
be more negative effects than positive from resting unless
a specific reason is given by a qualified medical person.
There are modalities that are helpful in resolving pain
such as medication and electrotherapy that can be beneficial.
Movement Re-education
The next stage is the regaining of the normal amount of
movement in the back. This is the stage at which most problems
occur. This is normally for a number of common reasons.
These generally revolve around the fact that there is a
degree of overlap between the pain stage and this stage
and people are unsure of when to begin moving, which specific
movements to do, how many to do and for how long.
It is here that is so often the KEY CRITICAL POINT in the
recovery process because with the CORRECT ADVICE INSTRUCTION
AND ENCOURAGEMENT regarding movement and exercise therapy
most back pain can be improved. If this point is missed
problems begin and little by little get bigger and more
difficult to resolve until ultimately if left long enough,
which often can be just a matter of weeks, you can become
a chronic back pain patient, with all its associated problems.
Strength Re-education
The next stage once the movement is well on the way to
recovery is the re education of the muscles that control
the area. Here again the skill is knowing when to begin
the exercises, which ones to do, how many and for how long.
With the back you may be lucky and be able to resume your
normal everyday activities without needing any specific
strengthening exercises. There are however great many people
with low back pain who would be so much better and be much
more able with again the CORRECT EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION.
For some it would undoubtedly totally solve their problem.
Following the successful resolution of pain, movement and
strength all these three come together to allow the patient
to resume their normal everyday activities. Here again the
key is the skilful and correct advice as to how much how
soon. If the previous three stages have been addressed properly
this stage will follow naturally but the correct advice
is paramount in preventing re injury.
Summary
So there we have it. The basic stages behind the successful
resolution of mechanical low back pain. This can essentially
be transferred to many other musculo skeletal problems.
Although in black and white it appears relatively simple
do not confuse something being simple and think it means
it is unskilled. It requires specific knowledge at each
of the particular stages.
In fact I would go as far as to say categorically how important
it is to get as far as possible a definitive diagnosis of
your problem before engaging in any form of therapy whether
by a third party or self help.
