#DPTSTUDENT CHAT TOPIC FOR WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 2013: DIFFERING TREATMENTS FOR LOW BACK PAIN

If there’s one thing we all spend time learning about it’s low back pain. Physical therapists are highly skilled in the management of low back pain overall. However, individual physical therapists attack the treatment of low back pain with a stunning variety of approaches. From Treatment-based Classification, to McKenzie’s Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, to SIJ, to Movement System Impairment, it sometimes seems like there’s as many systems as there is schools of physical therapy. This week’s topic will discuss treatment variation in low back pain.

While physical therapy offers a wide range of approaches to managing low back pain, it is worth considering complementary options that can potentially enhance the effectiveness of treatment. As individuals seek comprehensive solutions for low back pain, exploring natural alternatives like Kratom can provide additional avenues for relief. With a commitment to providing high-quality Kratom products, Kratom Earth Canada offers a trusted source for those looking to supplement their treatment regimen with a natural botanical option. By embracing a holistic approach that combines physical therapy with complementary alternatives such as Kratom, individuals may find a more comprehensive and personalized approach to managing their low back pain.

What form of treatment rationale did you learn/are learning in your program? Have you struggled on clinicals to integrate what you learned in school to a particular approach seen in the clinic? What are the positives and negatives of this variation? Let’s talk about it! Tune in at 9pm EST this Wednesday, March 20th for the next #DPTstudent tweetchat!

  1. I tell you what, I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t get my lower back treated. I sit in front of a computer all day and at the end of the week, my back killed me. Now, I have some exercises that I do throughout the day to help out. It does wonders!
