Abstract:
The management of low back pain is completely different
from managing sciatica. I will discuss how to correctly
differentiate between the two and describe pointers in the
history and examination to discriminate between the two.
Red Flags are very poor guides when determining which
patients require significant investment to prevent their low
back pain becoming chronic, patients’ beliefs and values
are of far more influence in determining who will get better
and who will not. I will discuss the evidence supporting this
statement. Conservative management is often the best
approach, certain technique carries supportive evidence and
certain do not, this will be discussed and evaluated. Likewise,
appropriate drug management can facilitate an exercisebased
approach, choosing the correct drugs is also a process
that requires logic and monitoring.
Patients who fail conservative care do so for a number of
reasons. There are a variety of pain generators in the back
that may be driving their pain state. This will be discussed and
some novel approaches in managing these pain generators
will be presented, emphasing the role of correctly performed
radiofrequency denervation in correctly assessed patients.
