Detailed Description
Low back pain is the common problem of our society, 80% of people experience back pain at some stage of their life. Low Back pain lifetime prevalence is 65% to 80% and It is estimated that 28% experience disabling low back pain sometime during their lives. Point prevalence ranged from 12% to 33%, the 1-year prevalence ranged from 22% to 65%, and lifetime prevalence ranged from 11% to 84%. Back pain peak prevalence age is 40-50, First episode of start in the '20s and recurrence rates between 39-71%. Women tend to be affected more in cervical spine problems than men and men tend to more affected in lumbar spine problems than women. The majority (80-90%) of low back disorders occur at the L4/5 and/or L5/S1. The occupational risk factor include driving (P<0.001), lifting, carrying, pulling, pushing, and twisting (P<0.001 for all variables) as well as nondriving vibrational exposure (P<0.001).
Maitland divides lumbar spine problems into two groups, in the first group the L4/5 and L5/S1 intervertebral discs are frequently a source of symptoms and the second group has postural, muscle balance, muscle weakness, muscles spasm degenerative changes, and mechanical movement disorders problems. The L5-S1 Segment is the most common site of problem in the spine because this level bears more weight, Center of gravity passes directly through this vertebra, transition L5 Mobile and S1 Stable, Large angle B/w L5 & S1 and a great amount of movement.
The intervertebral disk makes up 1/3 of the total length of the vertebral column. The disc contains 85% to 90% of water, but the amount decreases up to 65% with age. The water-binding capacity of the disc decrease with age and degenerative changes begin to occur after 2nd decade of life. The Facet joint carries 20-25% axial body load but this may reach 70% with degeneration of the Disc. The most significant biochemical change to occur in disc degeneration is the loss of proteoglycan. This loss is responsible for a fall in the osmotic pressure of the disc matrix and therefore a loss of hydration. Loading may thus lead to inappropriate stress concentrations along the endplate or in the annulus.
CT Classification of Annular Tears There are five possible severities of the radial annular tear as seen on an axial CT image.
- The grade 0 is a normal disc, where no contrast material injected in the center of the disc has leaked from the confines of the nucleus pulposus.
- The grade 1 tear has leaked contrast material but only into the inner one-third of the annulus.
- In the grade 2 tear, the contrast has leaked from the nucleus into the outer two-thirds of the annulus.
- The grade 3 tear has leaked contrast completely through all three zones of the annulus.
- The grade 4 tear the contrast has spread circumferentially around the disc, often resembling a ship's anchor. Pathologically, this represents the merging of a full-thickness radial tear with a concentric annular tear.
- The grade 5 tear completely ruptured the outer layers of the disc and is leaking contrast material from the disc into the epidural space. This type of tear is thought to have the ability to induce a severe inflammatory reaction in the adjacent neural structures. In some patients, this inflammatory process is so severe that it causes painful chemical radiculopathy and sciatica without the presence of nerve root compression.
Low-back pain with leg pain may be caused by a herniated intervertebral disc exerting pressure on the nerve root. Most patients will respond to conservative treatment, but in carefully selected patients, a surgical discectomy may provide faster relief of symptoms. The Patient's history and physical examination along with MRI confirm the disc herniation diagnosis. In the case of spinal disc herniation, the management is Surgical and conservative. In surgery, we have percutaneous procedures such as chymopapain injections, Annuloplasty, Percutaneous disc decompression, and Endoscopic percutaneous discectomy and Open Surgery such as Laminectomy, Discectomy/Microdiscectomy, Artificial disc surgery, and Spinal fusion. The Conservative Management includes Oral Analgesic, Gentle traction, Spinal Decompression, Spinal Stabilization, Exercise, and Fascia Stretching (ELDOA).

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
Time Frame: Up to 3 weeks
|
The scale of pain.
The patient will be asked to report pain on a 1-10 numbering scale. 1 means minimum pain and 10 means extreme pain.
|
Up to 3 weeks

Oswestry disability index
Time Frame: Up to 3 weeks
|
The scale of disability.
The patient will be asked the referenced questions and the assessor will tick the answers.
The maximum score of the Oswestry disability index is 100 percent which means complete disability whereas the minimum score is 0 percent which means no disability at all.
