Analysis of Spinal Decompression via Surgical Methods and Traction TherapyPaige Barrett
This document summarizes various surgical and non-surgical methods for spinal decompression to treat back pain. For surgical decompression of the cervical spine, early surgery (<24 hrs) after spinal cord injury produces better outcomes than delayed surgery. Circumferential decompression and fusion is effective for cervical myelopathy. In the thoracic spine, posterior decompression with instrumented fusion improves neurological functioning for thoracic myelopathy. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and percutaneous laser disc decompression are suitable minimally invasive options for the thoracic spine. For the lumbar spine, indirect decompression using an interbody cage is effective for degenerative lumbar stenosis, while decompression without fusion significantly decreases leg pain and disability.

Poor posture can develop from injuries, diseases, habits, weakness, improper clothing, lack of exercise, occupation, pregnancy, pain, obesity, joint dysfunction, stress, central nervous system disorders, overwork, prolonged postures, and muscle fatigue. Poor posture can lead to sore muscles, spinal curvature changes, subluxations, blood vessel constriction, and nerve compression. Physiotherapy can help assess, diagnose, educate, and treat poor posture through manual therapy, exercises, and activity modifications. Maintaining good posture involves sitting, standing, lifting, and lying in ways that keep the spine's natural curves in alignment. Immediate attention to poor posture is needed to prevent long-term postural defects.
Back injuries are common, accounting for 1 in 5 workplace injuries. Lifting heavy objects, twisting, prolonged sitting or standing, and falls are common causes. The spine consists of vertebrae, discs, joints, ligaments and muscles that can be injured. Maintaining good posture and lifting techniques, exercising for back strength and flexibility, stretching, and being aware of ergonomic risks can help prevent back injuries.
During pregnancy, low back pain and pelvic pain are very common due to physiological changes in the body. Hormonal changes cause ligaments and joints to weaken while at least half of weight gain occurs in the abdominal area, putting strain on the back. Some ways to get relief from back pain include stretching the lower back regularly, sleeping on the side with pillows for support, using a warm compress, maintaining good posture, wearing a maternity support belt, using a lumbar pillow, getting enough sleep, practicing yoga, and seeing a doctor if pain is severe or does not improve after delivery.

Common issues include symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) which affects the pelvis, coccydynia or tailbone pain, thoracic spine pain from breast and rib changes, and postural backache from weight gain and posture shifts. Physiotherapy can help with techniques like massage, taping, exercises and supports to relieve symptoms and maintain mobility.
Manual material handling involves any activity that requires using bodily force to lift, lower, push, pull, carry or otherwise move objects. It is a common cause of occupational injuries. Some key points:
- MMH accounts for about one third of lost work time, compensation costs, and permanent worker disabilities due to back injuries each year.
- Risk factors for back injuries from MMH include fatigue from repetitive tasks, lifting improperly by bending at the waist instead of knees, lifting heavy or awkward loads, and poor physical conditioning.
- Proper lifting technique is important to prevent injury and includes getting close to the load, keeping it close to the body, lifting with legs and back straight, and avoiding twisting.
