How Can We Better Treat Chronic Lower Back Pain? Webinar
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a complex multifaceted condition that is one of the most prevalent medical disorders in today’s societies,]. CLBP is classified as back pain localized above the gluteal fold, and below the costal margin, that persists for a minimum duration of 12 weeks. CLBP accounts for ~ 80% of the direct cost of low back pain, with clinicians unable to make a specific diagnosis in up to 90% of patients, therefore classifying patients as having nonspecific CLBP. Although acknowledged as a multifactorial condition, it has also been suggested that deconditioning of the posterior chain muscles, i.e. those found in the thoracic, lumbar and posterior hip region, is a contributing risk factor for low back pain. Maintaining sufficient muscular strength and endurance as well as adequate levels of motor control of the posterior chain musculature that allow the performance of a variety of occupational, sport and recreational activities with minimum risk of injury should be considered an important goal of this rehabilitation.
This webinar will discuss treatment options for CLBP, with a focus on the results of a recent meta-analysis that examined whether focus on posterior chain resistance training provided additional benefits compared to general exercise and walking programmes for the treatment of CLBP.
