CF 279: Newer Information On Nonsurgical Spinal Decompression
Today we’re going to talk about newer non-surgical decompressioninformation.
Item #1
The first on today is called “Effects of non-surgical decompression therapy in addition to routine physical therapy on pain, range of motion, endurance, functional disability and quality of life versus routine physical therapy alone in patients with lumbar radiculopathy; a randomized controlled trial” by Fareeha Amjad, Mohammad A Mohseni-Bandpei, Syed Amir Gilani, Ashfaq Ahmad, Asif Hanif and published in PubMed on March 16 2022. Dayum. That’s hot.
Why They Did It
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of decompression therapy in addition to routine physical therapy on pain, lumbar range of motion (ROM), functional disability, back muscle endurance (BME), and quality of life (QOL) in patients with lumbar radiculopathy.
How They Did It
· A total of sixty patients with lumbar radiculopathy were randomly allocated into two groups, an experimental and a control group, through a computer-generated random number table.
· Baseline values were recorded before providing any treatment by using a VAS, Urdu version of Oswestry disability index, modified-modified Schober's test, prone isometric chest raise test, and SF-36 for measuring the pain at rest, functional disability, lumbar ROM, back muscle endurance, and quality of life, respectively. All patients received twelve treatment sessions over 4 weeks, and then all outcome measures were again recorded.
What They Found
· By using the ANCOVA test, a statistically significant between-group improvement was observed in VAS, Oswestry disability index, back muscle endurance, lumbar ROM, role physical (RP), and bodily pain (BP) domains of SF-36, which was in favour of decompressiongroup.
Wrap It Up
It was concluded that a combination of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy with routine physical therapy is more effective, statistically and clinically, than routine physical therapy alone in terms of improving pain, lumbar range of motion, back muscle endurance, functional disability, and physical role domain of quality of life, in patients with lumbar radiculopathy, following 4 weeks of treatment.
Before getting to the next one,
Next thing, go to https://www.tecnobody.com/en/products That’s Tecnobody as in T-E-C-nobody. They literally have the most impressive clinical equipment I’ve ever seen. I own the ISO Free and am looking to add more to my office this year or next. The equipment you’re going to find over there can be marketed in your community like crazy because you’ll be the only one with something that damn cool in your office.
When you decide you can’t live without those products, send me an email and I’ll give you the hookup. They will 100% differentiate your clinic from your competitors.
I have to tell you, Dr. Chris Howson, the inventor of the Drop Release tool re-activated the code! Use the code HOTSTUFF upon purchase at droprelease.com & get $50 off your purchase. Would you like to spend 5-10 minutes doing pin and stretch and all of that? Or would you rather use a drop release to get the same or similar results in just a handful of seconds. I love it, my patients love it, and I know yours will too. droprelease.com and the discount code is HOTSTUFF. Go do it.
Item #2
Our last one this week is called, “Regression of lumbar disc herniation by physiotherapy. Does non-surgical spinal decompression therapy make a difference? Double-blind randomized controlled trial” by Aynur Demirel, Mehmet Yorubulut, Nevin Ergun and published in PubMed on September 17, 2022. Hot potato!
Why They Did It
The aim of the study determining whether or not Non-invasive Spinal Decompression Therapy(NSDT) was effective in resorption of herniation, increasing disc height in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LHNP).
How They Did It
· A total of twenty patients diagnosed as lumbar disc herniation and suffering from pain at least 8 weeks were enrolled to the study. Patients were allocated in study (SG) and control groups (CG) randomly.
· Both groups received combination of electrotherapy, deep friction massage and stabilization exercise for fifteen session. The study group received additionally Decompression different from control groups. Numeric Anolog Scale, Straight leg raise test, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were applied at baseline and after treatment. Disc height and herniation thickness were measured on Magnetic Resonance Imagination which performed at baseline and three months after therapy.
What They Found
· Both treatments had positive effect for improving pain, functional restoration and reduction in thickness of herniation. Although reduction of herniation size was higher in the study group than control groups, no significant differences were found between groups and any superiority to each other
Wrap It Up
This study showed that patients with lumbar disc herniation received physiotherapy had improvement based on clinical and radiologic evidence. Decompression can be used as assistive agent for other physiotherapy methods in treatment of lumbar disc herniation.
Alright, that’s it. Keep on keepin’ on. Keep changing our profession from your corner of the world. The world needs evidence-based, patient-centered practitioners driving the bus. The profession needs us in the ACA and involved in leadership of state associations. So quit griping about the profession if you’re doing nothing to make it better. Get active, get involved, and make it happen.
Let’s get to the message. Same as it is every week.
