MISCONCEPTION MONDAYS EPISODE 41 - DISC HERNIATIONS CAUSING SCIATICA ARE MORE COMMON IN OLDER ADULTS?

The peak age for symptomatic disc herniations is between 30-50 years of age! Key word here is symptomatic, as you now know from previous episodes that often disc herniations are asymptomatic.

Furthermore, disc injuries resulting in nerve compression (may cause sciatica) is less likely as we age!

This is due to a normal age related process known as disc desiccation, which leads to fluid loss and eventual stiffening or calcification of the disc.

So if you are worried about suffering with low back pain and sciatica as you age (especially if you have had a history of sciatica), worry less as the odds are stacked in your favour. If you really want to do your absolute best to reduce risk and improve function as you age, then tailored strength and conditioning is your answer. Partner this along with a healthy diet, optimal sleep and reduced stress, and you are stacking the odds of successful functional aging!

MISCONCEPTION MONDAYS EPISODE 40 - INJECTIONS FOR PERSISTENT LOW BACK PAIN IS EFFECTIVE?

One of the first points of call for treatment that historically GPs advised patients to receive is an injection (such as a cortisone shot) to help manage their chronic low back pain. Unfortunately, due to the societal history of injection therapies, patients often believe they need it to fix their pain.

Patients typically will not even attempt proper conservative management (osteo/physio) before wanting to get a shot. However, these shots often don’t work at all or potentially at best improve symptoms slightly and briefly.

Conservative management needs to be tailored and structured exercise rehabilitation! You have not tried exercise if your past practitioner gave you some low level glute bridges/or clams. Also standing up from a chair, is a great start to rehab for some individuals, however we need to load that movement up with weight to see the benefits.

In many cases, conservative management gets the results. However, only if it’s done properly (which is rare).

Research shows us that injection therapies are no better than placebo for back pain of more than 3 months! They are an expensive waste of time in reality. Not to mention they come with numerous health related complications that exercise rehabilitation doesn’t come with.

To manage your chronic back pain, you need a practitioner that understands back pain. They understand strength and conditioning rehabilitation. They are holistic and prioritise education about the long term management of the condition.

MISCONCEPTION MONDAYS EPISODE 39 - SURGERY IS EFFECTIVE FOR BACK PAIN IN ADULTS?

When we exclude symptoms of lower limb radicular pain (sciatica), surgery is not supported by the current evidence to manage persistent back pain.

It also has complications that conservative measures don’t. Therefore surgery often can do more harm than good for back pain.

Even when in cases where radicular symptoms are present and are the dominant symptoms. Surgery may help with resolution of radicular symptoms, however the low back pain is often not improved.

MISCONCEPTION MONDAYS EPISODE 38 - MEDICATION FOR LOW BACK PAIN?

Medications are always advised by your GP when you suffer with an injury, in particular low back pain. However, did you know this is probably a waste of time, waste of money and obviously carries complications.

Paracetamol (Panadol), Ibuprofen (Nurofen) are the most common prescibed. However, they offer either very small to no benefits in clinical trials. Placebo at best.

What does work? Exercise.

Keep active as can be, listen to your osteo and trust the process.

Thank you to everyone who popped into the clinic during MoVember 🙌

$5 for every appointment will be donated to the MoVember cause. An important charity that raises awareness for many male health conditions.

The big one however, is the awareness around men’s mental health. Movember is a time where we push to break the stigma.

If you’re struggling or know someone struggling, please reach out, speak and get the help required.

The Mo will go (thankfully), however our ability to listen and support will remain.

The .runclub gets people together and gets them better!

These results are from a 12 week program of strength & conditioning.

The program is individualised to the athletes MAS (maximum aerobic speed) to get the best out of them. The results speak for themselves.

All strength and conditioning sessions are tracked through an app. Videos are all attached on how to complete each exercise. Getting fitter, faster and a stronger is easy! It just requires a good plan and a commitment from the individual.

Well done to our strength and conditioning client on these results 👏👏

For as little as $15 a week, this program could be yours. Or save $30 and pay up front ($150).

MISCONCEPTION MONDAYS EPISODE 37 - BED REST IS BEST FOR ACUTE LOW BACK PAIN?

Rest is rarely recommended and advised post any injury. It needs to be within reason (speak to your health professional).

Bed rest in particular is one of the WORST things we can do post acute lower back injury!

Research shows that bed rest prolongs recovery. Also in older adults, bed rest can increase joint stiffness, increase muscle wasting, reduce bone mineral density, and potentially cause blood clots in certain populations.

The best thing you can do post acute low back injury is to get active and stay active!

Rest often increases protective muscle guarding and falsely rewards the nervous system to guard against movement once movement occurs! This is not good, and is why recovery is delayed.

Movement within pain tolerance, rewards the nervous system by telling it that the injury is likely not that bad. It helps reduce muscle guarding and promotes recovery.
