“…The PWC has been previously outlined in the literature. [28][29][30][31] Spinal manipulative procedures were performed in accordance with the radiographic findings and consisted of anterior dorsal mobilization from the seventh through 11th thoracic vertebrae, cervical distractive adjustment at the level of the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae in the y-axis, and mobilization of the level of the occiput and first cervical vertebra with a drop piece mechanism in the negative z-axis. A bilateral side posture lumbopelvic adjustment was also performed to mobilize the lumbosacral joints.…”

“…The goal of the manipulative procedures has been previously reported in a comprehensive spine care setting. 28,29,31,32 Spinal manipulative procedures were implemented at a frequency of 1 time per week beginning the first month and continued through the 12 weeks of treatment. Immediately after the first trial of manipulative procedures, the patient was fitted with a 4-lb anterior head weight and an 8-lb left external shoulder weight and instructed to walk while wearing the weights for 10 minutes.…”

“…Specific exercises performed on the PLT were predetermined from radiographic analysis and have been used in the past in a comprehensive approach to spinal disorders. 28,32 Neuromuscular reeducation was incorporated through PWC exercises with head and shoulder weight and balancing on a Posturomed 27 with 1 leg while wearing a head and shoulder weight. The patient did this with eyes open and closed during this treatment and was timed weekly with his eyes open, and the data are reported in Fig 2. The timer started upon lifting the leg and stopped when the body noticeably leaned or if the elevated leg touched the platform.…”

Objective: This case report describes the effect of exercise-based chiropractic treatment on chronic and intractable low back pain complicated by lumbar disk extrusion. Clinical Features: A 47-year-old male firefighter experienced chronic, unresponsive low back pain. Pre-and posttreatment outcome analysis was performed on numeric (0-10) pain scale, functional rating index, and the low back pain Oswestry data. Secondary outcome assessments included a 1-rep maximum leg press, balancing times, push-ups and sit-ups the patient performed in 60 seconds, and radiographic analysis. Intervention and Outcome: The patient was treated with Pettibon manipulative and rehabilitative techniques. At 4 weeks, spinal decompression therapy was incorporated. After 12 weeks of treatment, the patient's self-reported numeric pain scale had reduced from 6 to 1. There was also overall improvement in muscular strength, balance times, self-rated functional status, low back Oswestry scores, and lumbar lordosis using pre-and posttreatment radiographic information. Conclusion: Comprehensive, exercise-based chiropractic management may contribute to an improvement of physical fitness and to restoration of function, and may be a protective factor for low back injury. This case suggests promising interventions with otherwise intractable low back pain using a multimodal chiropractic approach that includes isometric strengthening, neuromuscular reeducation, and lumbar spinal decompression therapy.

“…Pettibon corrective procedures (22) have been used to improve cervical spine alignment (23,24), improve strength (25), and reduce hyperlordosis (26). The Pettibon procedures combine both manipulative and rehabilitative procedures, which may help to correct scoliosis through the same sensory, reflexive, somatosensory and neuromuscular mechanisms that have been shown defective in many scoliosis patients (27).…”

“…A study had adopted a radiographic study to measure lumbosacral angle and lordotic angle due to their reproducibility [6]. The lumbar lordosis serves to provide strength against the compressive forces of gravity, while at the same time to allow a certain amount of flexibility for locomotion [18]. A normal lumbar lordosis protects the lumbar posterior spinal ligament system from excess strain and acts as a shock absorber during sudden applied vertical forces [19].…”

Lumbosacral orthosis (LSO) is a type of spinal orthosis that has been recommended for three basic purposes; abdominal support, pain management, and motion or positional control [1]. Even though the scientific evidence of its clinical effectiveness is controversial, the use of LSO increases due to a high satisfaction rate among patients with low back pain [2]. By implementation of radiographic technique, objectives of this study are to evaluate the changes of lumbar lordosis in flexion and extension of trunk movements with and without wearing the LSO measured by Cobb technique and to correlate the value of lordotic angles in particular posture. Ten healthy men without any history of low back pain participated and a semi-rigid LSO was utilized.Lateral radiographs of spine images during neutral, flexion and extension postures were captured, with and without orthosis. The lumbar lordosis angle was determined using four lines Cobb technique on each of printed lateral radiographic images. Statistical analysis was completed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Mean of lumbar lordosis for maximum trunk flexion with and without orthosis is 12.2° and 16.4° respectively. Lordotic angles for extension are higher than flexion which is 51.7° for maximum trunk extension without orthosis and 54.6° for maximum trunk extension with orthosis. Present results indicate that the lumbar lordosis increased when the lumbosacral orthosis was used in both flexion and extension movements.
