Physical therapy as good as surgery and less risky for one type of lower back pain
One type of lower back pain, called lumbar spinal stenosis, is sometimes treated with surgery. But physical therapy works just as well, and comes with fewer unwanted complications — some of them life-threatening — than surgery, according to a study published yesterday in Annals of Internal Medicine.
Stenosis means narrowing. In lumbar spinal stenosis, the space inside the lowest part of the spinal canal has narrowed.

Make the Diagnosis: A 38-Year-Old Man with Sciatica
(MedPage Today) -- Case Study: A thirty-eight-year-old man presented with a four-year history of gradually worsening pain in the lower back and radiation of the pain down both lower limbs. The symptoms began following an automobile accident. A clinical diagnosis of sciatica was made. An MRI of the lumbar spine showed a prolapse of the disc between L4 and L5. An epidural steroid injection temporarily relieved the back pain but did not relieve the radiating pain in the right lower limb.
Twelve months later, a repeat MRI revealed a possible lesion posterior to the right acetabulum that could not be evaluated in detail becaus...
