Targeted Lower Back Pain Treatment – Clinical Biomechanical Analysis
Lower back pain (LBP) is one of the most common reasons people seek medical attention. Dr. Singer's integrated approach in North Hollywood moves beyond simply treating the pain. It involves a detailed clinical orthopedic evaluation and biomechanical analysis to identify the exact cause, whether it is an acute strain, chronic disc issue, or functional movement disorder, providing lasting relief.
Emphasis on Orthopedic Evaluation and Biomechanical Analysis:
The key to resolving chronic or recurrent lower back pain lies in understanding the complex biomechanics of the lumbar spine, pelvis, and hips. Dr. Singer, with his clinical orthopedic background, performs a detailed assessment to uncover these underlying factors:
Functional Movement Assessment: Analyzing how you sit, stand, walk, and lift to identify flawed movement patterns that overload the spine. * Postural Analysis: Evaluating structural imbalances in the pelvis, hips, and shoulders that create uneven stress on the lumbar spine.
Biomechanical Analysis: Assessing the kinematics of the facet joints, sacroiliac (SI) joints, and intervertebral discs to pinpoint the source of restriction or instability.
Differential Diagnosis: Accurately distinguishing between joint dysfunction, disc injury, nerve root compression (sciatica), or muscular causes (myofascial pain).
Common Causes of Lower Back Pain Treated:
Lumbar Disc Pathology: Herniated, bulging, or degenerated discs.
Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Dysfunction: Pain caused by excessive movement or locking of the joints connecting the pelvis and spine.
Facet Joint Syndrome: Arthritis or irritation of the small joints on the back of the vertebrae.
Spondylolisthesis: Forward slippage of one vertebra over another.
Piriformis Syndrome/Sciatica: Nerve irritation due to muscle tightness or spinal compression.
Chronic Musculoskeletal Strain: Ligament sprain and muscle spasms due to poor posture or repetitive strain.
Integrated Treatment Protocol for LBP:
Dr. Singer’s treatment is always customized based on the diagnostic findings:
Spinal Adjustments: Precise chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment and mobility to the lumbar spine and pelvis, reducing nerve irritation.
Orthopedic Soft-Tissue Therapy: Specialized manual techniques, including myofascial release and trigger point therapy, target tight, spastic muscles that pull the spine out of alignment.
Spinal Decompression: Utilized for cases involving disc herniation or severe nerve compression, gently creating space within the spine.
Corrective Exercise & Rehabilitation: Functional exercises are prescribed to strengthen the deep core stabilizers (transversus abdominis, multifidus) and improve hip mobility, which are crucial for maintaining long-term stability and preventing relapse.
Ergonomic and Lifestyle Counseling: Guidance on proper lifting, sitting, and sleeping mechanics to minimize daily stress on the back.
Achieve Lasting Relief and Functional Stability:
Our goal is not just to manage your pain but to help you return to your active lifestyle free from the fear of relapse. By focusing on the integrated biomechanical function of your spine and joints, we provide a sustainable path to recovery.
