1. Treatment-Based Classifications for Low Back Pain
This chapter will cover a 35-year-old male with acute low back pain who is referred for physical therapy. The pain begins in the low back on the left side and refers just proximally to the knee. Pain is high (7/10) after sitting for short periods of time, but walking and standing actually decrease the pain somewhat to a 4/10. There is some hip pain by the end of the day, but the patient feels that the symptoms are mostly located on the left side in the low back with the referral to the proximal knee region.
2. Back Problems Without Back Pain
A 22-year-old male high school football coaching assistant is referred to physical therapy for R shoulder pain that is worse with throwing a football and better with rest. The pain is rated 7/10 on the NPRS, deep and sharp in nature with throwing the football. This has been occurring for 3 years and he has seen a PT and a chiropractor during this time, but has had no resolution of symptoms. He is a former D2 football player himself, but had no major injuries while playing football beyond some general soreness during his last year. However, he saw a chiropractor four months ago for hip pain and had TMJ pain one year ago, for which he was treated by a dentist.
3. Lumbar Radiculopathy
Chapter 3 will review the case of a 25-year-old male who presented to a physical therapy clinic with complaints of acute back pain and leg symptoms. The patient was seen by a resident who wanted to present the case to their senior faculty mentors. What follows is this case presentation and conversation that ensued.
