4 Chronic Recurring Low Back Pain CUMULATIVE TRAUMA APPROACH TO Low Back Pain 4

5 Chronic Recurring Low Back Pain Back Pain is a SYMPTOM not a DIAGNOSIS 5

6 Chronic Recurring Low Back Pain Back pain symptoms May be relieved by: A. Increasing central tolerance; (drugs) B. Central blocking of thalamic reception; (drugs) C. Interference with spinal neural receptors; (drugs) D. Severance of neural pathways; (drugs surgery) E. Silencing the site or origin; (injection - surgery); or F. Removal of the causes. (behavioral mod. & balance) 6

7 Chronic Recurring Low Back Pain Back pain symptoms REMOVED by: Elimination of the causes Make the DIAGNOSIS! 7

8 Chronic Recurring Low Back Pain Archives of Internal Medicine Controversies in Internal Medicine: July 8, 2002 Lack of evidence-based research for idiopathic low back pain: the importance of a specific diagnosis. --Abraham & Killackey-Jones 8
