HIDDEN SECRETS OF LOW BACK PAIN (PART-2 - Lumbar Spine - ORTHOPEDIC MANUAL THERAPY & SURGICAL CRITERIA - From Diagnosis to Intervention
Course Overview
1. Real Reasons for Back Pain – Uncover the hidden biomechanical, neuromuscular, and lifestyle-related factors that drive lumbar spine pain beyond common myths.
2. Evidence-Based Core Assessment – Practical frameworks to evaluate core stability, strength, and endurance in patients with lumbar dysfunction.
3. Evidence-Based Core Training – Learn scientifically validated methods to retrain the core and prevent recurrence of low back pain.
4. Impact of Faulty Occupational Postures – Analysis of workplace ergonomics and how sustained poor postures accelerate lumbar spine degeneration.
5. Disc Bulge & Back Pain – Myth vs. Reality – Evidence-based discussion on when disc bulges are symptomatic and when they are incidental findings.
6. Lumbar Spine–Pelvis–SIJ Connection – Understanding regional interdependence: how pelvic and sacroiliac dysfunctions influence lumbar spine mechanics.
7. Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Pathways – Decision-making criteria for conservative vs. operative management based on red flags and functional outcomes.
8. Differential Diagnosis Skills – Structured clinical reasoning to separate mechanical back pain from red-flag and systemic causes.
9. Red Flags & Surgical Referral Criteria – Learn to identify when back pain indicates serious pathology requiring urgent intervention.
10. Evidence-Based Clinical Examination – Detailed assessment including posture, motion palpation, joint mobility, and neurological screening.
11. Imaging Correlation in Low Back Pain – Interpreting X-rays, MRI, and CT scans in context of the patient’s presentation.
12. Manual Therapy Approaches – Safe and effective lumbar mobilization and manipulation techniques supported by current evidence.
13. Regional Interdependence in Practice – Clinical application of thoracic, hip, and pelvic influences on lumbar spine pain.
14. Exercise Prescription for Lumbar Spine – From McGill’s Big 3 to progressive stabilization strategies for different patient populations.
15. Advances in Lumbar Spine Surgery – Insights into modern surgical techniques and their implications for rehab professionals.
16. Case-Based Clinical Reasoning – Interactive real-world case studies to sharpen diagnosis and treatment skills.
