Patient success story.. consent β
Bleddyn saw Luke at our Gowerton clinic with a sudden onset of severe back pain following squatting in the gym. After taking a thorough history and assessment, a suspected pars fracture was the clinical impression. This is essentially a stress induced fracture to an area of the spine.
Thanks to a great working relationship with Dr Mark Ridgewell we were able to arrange an urgent MRI scan which confirmed a pars fracture π¦΄
If left untreated, pars # can become a cause of persistent pain but with this diagnosis, we can tailor rehab and get Bledd back to the gym/rugby ASAP.
**Disclaimer - Back pain is not always structural damage/harm and very rarely requires further imaging (MRI scan) but with this clinical history, the appropriate management was taken π
