Osteopathic Case Studies

management of chronic lower back pain

Management of Chronic Lower Back Pain in an Office Worker

Patient Background:
Here, we will meet a 35-year-old office worker, who has been struggling with persistent lower back pain for over a year. Their pain becomes more severe with prolonged periods of time sitting down, and a lack of physical activity.

Initial Assessment:
During our initial evaluation, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the patient's posture, the alignment of their spine, and their overall ability to move freely and comfortably.

Treatment Approach:
Here, we opted for a hands-on approach. This includes techniques such as spinal adjustments and soft tissue massage, all targeted toward easing the tension in our patient's lower back muscles.

Rehabilitation Strategy:
During the rehabilitation phase, we created a personalised exercise program for our patient. This plan was specifically designed to improve posture, focusing on core muscle strength and promoting flexibility.

Outcome:
Our patient was quickly encouraged by their results. After six treatment sessions, there was a notable decrease in pain levels and a marked improvement in mobility. Additionally, our patient mentioned a newfound appreciation for maintaining proper posture at the office - a great step toward their long-term health.

Athlete Recovery from Acute Lower Back Pain

Patient Background:
Here, a 28-year-old athlete was suffering from acute lower back pain following a lifting injury. The pain was sudden and posed a significant barrier to their athletic performance and daily activities.

Initial Assessment:
We first conducted a thorough examination of the athlete's spine, hips, and surrounding musculoskeletal structures. This detailed assessment was crucial to understanding the full scope of the injury and to formulate an effective treatment plan.

Treatment Approach:
We implemented a schedule of gentle manipulation and mobilisation techniques. These methods were specifically selected for this patient in order to alleviate pain and improve range of motion, aiming for a speedy and safe recovery.

Rehabilitation Strategy:
The rehabilitation plan was meticulously designed to include guided exercises, targeted at strengthening the affected areas and enhancing flexibility. Additionally, we provided advice on injury prevention, ensuring the patient could avoid similar injuries in the future.

Comprehensive Management of Arthritis-Induced Lower Back Pain in a 70-Year-Old Retiree

Patient Background:
Here, we explore the situation of a 70-year-old retired teacher who has been suffering from lower back pain, further complicated by their diagnosed arthritis. This patient now faces a new challenge in managing their persistent discomfort.

Initial Assessment:
During our initial assessment, we took a comprehensive look at various aspects of the patient's physical health. This included an evaluation of our patient's overall mobility, muscle strength, and balance and coordination. These factors are all crucial in understanding the extent of their back pain and its impact on daily activities.

Treatment Approach:
Our strategy for this patient involved a combination of different methods. We employed soft tissue techniques, which are gentle yet effective in addressing muscle tightness and pain. We also utilized gentle joint mobilisation methods to improve flexibility. Additionally, we incorporated stretching exercises, carefully tailored to suit the patient's age and specific health condition.

Rehabilitation Plan:
Moving forward, we focused on enhancing the patient's balance and muscle strength. This approach is particularly important in managing and alleviating symptoms of arthritis. Furthermore, we provided lifestyle advice, aimed at helping the patient manage their arthritis more effectively during daily life.

Outcome:
The results of this comprehensive approach were encouraging. The patient experienced improved pain levels, and a noticeable enhancement in their mobility, allowing them to engage more actively and comfortably in various activities. Overall, the patient reported a better quality of life following our intervention.

Postpartum Lower Back Pain Recovery and Rehabilitation

Patient Background:
This case study centres on a 32-year-old woman who has been experiencing persistent low back pain following childbirth, a common issue many new mothers face. This discomfort has been a significant concern for her, affecting her daily activities and overall quality of life.

Initial Assessment:
Here, we focused on evaluating the patient's pelvic alignment and the integrity of her abdominal muscles. These areas are crucial for understanding the root cause of her back pain, especially in the postpartum period.

Treatment Plan:
Our treatment approach included pelvic realignment techniques and soft tissue therapy. These methods were specifically chosen to address the overstrained muscles, which are often a significant contributor to back pain in postpartum women.

Rehabilitation Plan:
As part of her rehabilitation, we implemented a series of core strengthening exercises and posture correction strategies. These exercises were designed to not only alleviate the patient's current pain but also to prevent future occurrences by strengthening core musculature and improving overall posture.

Outcome:
Over several sessions, the patient experienced a significant alleviation of her back pain and a noticeable improvement in her core strength. This progress has been instrumental in improving daily functionality and overall well-being.
