When managing low back pain it is always important that each patient is triaged into one of the following categories: non-specific mechanical low back pain, low back pain with leg pain and suspected serious pathology.
When considering best practice for low back pain it is important to that about 40% of those reporting an episode of acute low back pain recover within six weeks. However, 48% still have pain and disability after three months and of these almost 30% do not recover by 12 months. A key problem in the management of acute low back pain is the number of people who develop chronic low back pain following an acute low back pain episode. We expect that early appropriate care may reduce such a transition.
Such appropriate care really is focused on three key areas:
1. High quality education
2. Advice (rest is inappropriate, simple analgesics, return to normal activities)
3. Physical exercise is encouraged
Best back pain exercises are the ones that are done and adhered to, they are also ones that don't cause an exacerbation of symptoms.
This exercise is called hollow holds leg straight and is a beginner level exercise.
At Sydney Muscle & Joint Clinic our physiotherapy and exercise physiology approach is consistent, high quality and based on the best scientific knowledge. We deliver evidence-based practice for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, which means you get an approach that is effective, safe, and efficient.
