Example Low Back Pain Case - Collaboration With The Sports Therapy Association (STA)
In this episode, Dave shares a detailed lower back pain case history and takes specific questions from the audience in the journey to a diagnosis This is a fascinating insight into the approach that begins from the moment the clinician meets the patient through to the treatment journey and the factors that influence recovery KEY TAKEAWAYS Whatever your discipline the tenets are the same when you talking about pain As osteopaths and chiropractors, we are talking the same words just in a different language A disc doesn’t have to present with radicular symptoms initially Back or cervical disc issues have to be considered When the range of motion is restricted isolating the areas and specific groups of muscles, joints and nerves can help with the diagnosis If the specific pain is on a full extension this is a classic sign of a set joint irritation If you experience pain over a period of time fear avoidance can become a part of the individual's experience The biggest test can be the basic test of ‘poking it’ Everything is testing and a provocative test can be seeing the patient coming into the room A test doesn’t have to have a name and make it onto your notes BEST MOMENTS ‘The basic tenets of good care should be what you are going by’ ‘Identifying which one is the head honcho and ruling the show is what we are looking for’ ‘Your provocative test starts when you greet that patient’ THE BACK PAIN PODCAST PROVIDER MAP - FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR BACK PAIN https://thebackpainpodcast.com/index.php/members-map/ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast The Back Pain Podcast website The Back Pain Podcast recommended products affiliate link Our Rode Mixer https://amzn.to/3waU8bx Our Microphones https://amzn.to/3rzSZ9Z Second Microphone https://amzn.to/2ObKMeA XLR Cable https://amzn.to/3rBL8ZB Studio Headphones https://amzn.to/3u082LE Laptophttps://amzn.to/3dhfafT Our webcam https://amzn.to/31uUefQ ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliott Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
