Lumbar Paravertebral Muscle Pain Management Using Kinesitherapy and Electrotherapeutic Modalities

Abstract

Background: Low back pain is considered a public health problem internationally. Low back pain is a cause of disability that occurs in adolescents and causes negative effects in adults as well. The work environment and physical and psychosocial factors can influence the occurrence and evolution of low back pain. Methods: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the physiological and functional changes in young adults with painful conditions of the lumbar spine, after using exercise therapy. The study was of the longitudinal type and was carried out over a period 6 months in an outpatient setting. The rehabilitation treatment included electrotherapeutic modalities and kinesitherapy. Results: The results obtained when evaluating each parameter, for all moments, show statistically significant values in both groups. The results obtained regarding the relationship between the therapeutic modalities specific to rehabilitation medicine and low back pain are consistent with those reported in studies. Conclusions: Depending on the clinical-functional status of each patient, kinesitherapy can accelerate the heart rate and increase the blood pressure and oxygen saturation of the arterial blood, values that can later return to their initial levels, especially through training.

Beyond the Bony Fragment: A Review of Limbus Vertebra

“…The therapy focuses on pain relief and management using medications like muscle relaxants, pain relievers, and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Physical therapy (kinesitherapy) plays a crucial role in strengthening core muscles and improving spinal flexibility, ultimately reducing pain and preventing future issues [51][52][53]. Additionally, balneotherapy, a form of spa therapy that utilizes mineral-rich waters and therapeutic baths, might offer additional benefits in managing pain and promoting healing [22,[54][55][56].…”
