    Posted in: Posture, Spine Health, Resistance Training, Lumbar, Lower Back | Posted on: 19-Feb-2025

    Lumbar spinal tumors are abnormal growths that develop in or near the lower part of the spine. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, weakness, and neurological problems. Post-treatment rehabilitation is crucial for recovery and regaining function after treatment for a lumbar spinal tumor. In this guide, we'll explore the rehabilitation process following treatment for lumbar spinal tumors, including its goals, components, and the role of physical therapy.

  • Soothing Lumbar Myofascial Pain: A Guide to Relief and Recovery

    Posted in: Posture, Spine Health, Resistance Training, Lumbar, Lower Back | Posted on: 18-Feb-2025

    Lumbar myofascial pain is a condition characterized by chronic pain and discomfort in the lower back, specifically in the muscles and surrounding connective tissues (fascia). This pain is often associated with trigger points, which are sensitive spots within the muscle that can cause pain to radiate to other areas. In this guide, we'll explore lumbar myofascial pain, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.

  • Understanding Compression Fractures of the Spine: A Patient's Guide

    Posted in: Posture, Spine Health, Resistance Training, Lumbar, Lower Back | Posted on: 17-Feb-2025

    Compression fractures of the spine occur when one or more bones in the spine (vertebrae) collapse due to pressure. These fractures are most common in the thoracic (middle) and lumbar (lower) regions of the spine and are often related to osteoporosis. In this guide, we'll explore compression fractures of the spine, including their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.

  • Stabilizing Your Life: A Guide to Understanding and Managing Lumbar Instability

    Posted in: Posture, Spine Health, Resistance Training, Lumbar, Lower Back | Posted on: 14-Feb-2025

    Lumbar instability is a condition characterized by excessive movement between the vertebrae in the lower back (lumbar spine). This can lead to pain, discomfort, and a feeling of instability or weakness in the back. It may result from degenerative changes, injury, or other spinal disorders. In this guide, we'll explore lumbar instability, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.

  • Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Journey to Understanding and Managing Your Condition

    Posted in: Posture, Spine Health, Resistance Training, Lumbar, Lower Back | Posted on: 13-Feb-2025

    Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, although other joints can also be involved. It is characterized by inflammation of the spinal joints (vertebrae) that can lead to severe, chronic pain and discomfort. Over time, the inflammation can cause the vertebrae to fuse together, leading to a loss of flexibility and a hunched-forward posture. In this guide, we'll explore ankylosing spondylitis, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.

    Lumbar spinal fractures refer to breaks or cracks in the vertebrae (the bones that make up the spine) located in the lower back (lumbar region). These fractures can result from trauma, osteoporosis, or other underlying conditions and can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and, in severe cases, neurological problems. In this guide, we'll explore lumbar spinal fractures, including their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.

    Posted in: Posture, Spine Health, Resistance Training, Lumbar, Lower Back | Posted on: 10-Feb-2025

    Facet joint syndrome is a condition that affects the small joints located between each vertebra in the spine, known as facet joints. These joints allow for flexibility and movement in the spine, but when they become inflamed or damaged, it can lead to pain and stiffness. In this guide, we'll explore facet joint syndrome, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
