Matt's Story - Successful Treatment for Lower Lumbar Back Pain

Описание: Matt's Story - Successful Treatment for Lower Lumbar Back Pain

First off, our approach to addressing lumbar pain is team-based. Your body weight and the strength of your core muscles need to improve. This is clearly the best long term strategy. In our practice, we work with you to optimize your metabolism and hormones and lose weight if needed. Through our physical therapy program with McKenzie mechanical diagnosis and treatment, use of NeuX machines and our Pilates machine, we teach you how to exercise and how to use your lumbar spine properly in order to not only get better, but also to avoid future back attack crises.

Secondly, finding out what your pain sources are is important. Through a careful history, physical examination, review of your MRI scans, other radiology and various spinal diagnostic injections, we determine what causes your symptoms. Are your discs painful? Which one? Are your facet joints painful? Which one? Is the root cause of your deterioration instability of your spine column? Do we have to strengthen the supporting ligaments, muscle and fascia first? We answer all these with a precise, individualized algorithm. No two back pain sufferers are alike, which is why “one size fits all” does not work in medicine in general.

Thirdly, the work of healing the tissue, or slowing down the deterioration, begins. Again, there is good news. We are able to treat most of the causes of low back pain without surgery. In fact, fusion surgery for back pain (that does not radiate into the legs) does not have a high success rate, and most spine surgeons are more than happy to avoid it. Through a combination of ablation techniques (radiofrequency ablation for the lumbar facet joints and ablation of the nerves serving the vertebrae) and regenerative techniques (prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma, and bone marrow derived stem cells) we are able to offer a viable alternative to surgery. When combined with our Functional Medicine approach to metabolism/hormones and our Physical Therapy NeuX/Pilates treatments, our success rate clearly improves compared to each individual treatment delivered alone.

The key to solving the plague of lumbar pain is to understand it is as much a lifestyle problem as a collection of injured anatomical structures. The traditional interventional and surgical approach has been to find the rogue anatomy and remove it, fuse it, etc. It is obvious that approach has failed. We might not have the final say in this ongoing saga, but we feel we are on a better path.
