Low back ache is the pain in the lumbo-sacral region triggered by combination of factors like muscle strain, overuse, injury or trauma to muscles, ligaments and disc that support the spine. A diagnosed case of Low back ache came with complaints of pain over low back region, stiffness and limitation in the movements of lumbo-sacral joint since 2 years. There was no history of trauma or fall and other systemic illness. A positive family history was noted. In Ayurveda, it can be correlated with Asthigata vata and deranged Vata dosha is the main cause for pain. The primordial treatment for Vata dushti is Basti, especially Anuvasana vasti. Ketakyadi taila is very effective in Asthigata vata. So Anuvasana Basti with Ketakyadi tailam is administered continuous 9 days. The clinical symptoms like low back pain and stiffness got relieved markedly on 5th day itself. After the entire treatment the condition of the patient improved remarkably.

Katishula (low back ache) is one of the major health problems now a days which affects approximately 60 – 85% of adults during some point of their life causing trouble to their daily routine. It is shosha (degeneration), sthamba (stiffness), and shula (pain) predominant vyadhi (disease). It is clearly stated in the classics that the pain is produced due to stiffness which is produced by sama or nirama vayu movement in the kati (low back) region. Ayurvedic classics have mentioned appropriate treatment modalities for kati shula. A 24 year old female patient with katishula was treated conservatively with internal medicine and panchakarma (treatment procedure). Patient presented with low back ache for 1 year with aggravated symptoms like shooting pain, pain while standing and pain in the left leg. SLR was positive being 20 degree on the left leg and was negative in the right leg. There was no history of any kind of trauma. Management was done in 2 rounds where the first part included  matra basti and oral medications, through which the symptoms got reduced around 40 – 50% and in the second part of the treatment patient was managed only with the oral medications which gave very good results where the patient was almost completely relieved.

Ultra low doses of opioid antagonists such as naloxone block excitatory opioid receptor pathways may paradoxically enhance morphine analgesia. This case study reports safety and efficacy of ultra low-dose intrathecal (IT) naloxone added to IT morphine for the treatment of severe refractory chronic low back pain. A 56-year-old man with a history of severe chronic low back pain (postlaminectomy syndrome) was evaluated. Extensive multidisciplinary therapies had all failed. Initial treatment at our clinic was a lumbar IT trial of morphine (unsuccessful) up to 50 mg/day. We administered an IT bolus of morphine 2 mg combined with IT naloxone of 20 ng with the patient’s consent and approval. The onset of pain relief was within 20 minutes and peaked at 1 hour with a 50 percent reduction in VAS pain score. There were no signs of adverse drug toxicity or hemodynamic compromise. An IT infusion of daily morphine 5 mg and naloxone 50 ng was started. Throughout the 3-year follow-up period, the patient maintained pain reduction of 60 to 80 percent, with a return to daily activities and no further hospitalizations.

Vata Vyadhi is one of the most prevailing health problems in our day today clinical practice, Gridhrasi is one among them. Gridhrasi is Shoola Pradhana Nanatmaja Vatavyadhi, affecting the locomotor system and disable from daily routine activity. Gridhrasi the name itself indicates the way of gait shown by the patient due to extreme pain i.e. like Gridhra or Vulture. Gridhrasi is a condition characterized by Ruk, Toda, Stambha, Spandana in Sphik Pradesha and radiates downwards to Kati, Prusta, Uru, Janu, Jangha and Pada. Gridhrasi can be compared with Sciatica. Pain is the chief cause of person to visit a doctor. Although low back pain is a common condition that affects as many as 80 to 90 percent of people during their lifetime. Gridhrasi can be cured by the help of Vaitarana Basti. Hence in the case study of male patient of age 30 yrs presenting with cardinal clinical sign and symptoms of Gridhrasi are Ruka, Toda and Muhu Spandana in the Sphika, Kati, Uru, Janu, Jangha and Pada in order and Sakthikshepanigraha that is restricted lifting of the leg.

Hamstring Flexibility

Context: Decreased hamstring flexibility can lead to a plethora of musculoskeletal injuries, including low back pain, hamstring strains, and patellofemoral pain. Lack of flexibility may be the result of myofascial adhesions. The fascia connected to the hamstrings is part of the superficial back line that runs from the cranium to the plantar aspect of the foot. Any disruption along this chain may limit the flexibility of the hamstring. Objective: To investigate if self-myofascial release (SMR) of the plantar surface of the foot in addition to the hamstring group was more effective at improving the flexibility of the hamstrings when compared with either intervention alone. Design: Cross-over study. Setting: Athletic training facility. Participants: Fifteen college students (5 males and 10 females; age: 20.9 [1.4] y, height: 173.1 [10.3] cm, mass: 80.0 [24.9] kg) who were not older than 30, with no history of low back pain or injury within the past 6 months, no history of leg pain or injury within the past 6 months, no current signs or symptoms of cervical or lumbar radicular pain, no current complaint of numbness or tingling in the lower-extremity, and no history of surgery in the lower-extremity or legs. Interventions: Each participant received each intervention separated by at least 96 hours in a randomized order: hamstring foam rolling, lacrosse ball on the plantar surface of the foot, and a combination of both. Main Outcome Measures: The sit-and-reach test evaluated hamstring flexibility of each participant before and immediately after each intervention. Results: There were no significant differences found among the SMR techniques on sit-and-reach distance (F2,41 = 2.7, P = .08, ). However, at least 20% of participants in each intervention improved sit-and-reach distance by 2.5 cm. Conclusions: SMR may improve sit-and-reach distance, but one technique of SMR does not seem to be superior to another.

Objective: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with neuropathic pain in patients with non-specific low back pain. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from May to July 2016 in the Rheumatology, Neurology and Neurosurgery departments of Lome. The DN4 questionnaire was used for the diagnosis of neuropathic pain in the 200 patients with low back pain included in this study. Results: Of the 200 patients (147 women and 53 men) included in the study, neuropathic pain was present in 92 (46%). The average age of the 92 patients (67 women vs 25 men, p = 0.04) was 55.5 ± 12.4 years (women 55.2 ± 12.8 vs. men 54.6 ± 11.4, p = 0.5). The characteristics of neuropathic pain mainly found were: burning sensation (n = 67, 72.8%); electrical discharges (n = 64, 69.6%); tingling (n = 90; 97.8%); tickling (n = 57; 62%); numbness (n = 89; 96.7%); hypoesthesia (n = 52; 56.5%). Factors significantly associated with the presence of neuropathic pain in LBP were age (p = 0.005), duration of LBP (p = 0.04), high blood pressure (p = 0.001), radicular pain (p = 0.00002) and the past history of the LBP (0.000000). Conclusion: Neuropathic pain is common in patients with LBP at Lome. The duration of LBP, past history of LBP, previous NSAID use, BMI, pain severity and radicular pain appear to be predictive of the occurrence of these neuropathic pains.

OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness of lumbar manipulation (high velocity low amplitude) for the treatment of low back pain in comparison to back stretching exercises. Randomized Control Trial (Experimental Study) The study was conducted on 200 patients at the Physiotherapy Department of Ziauddin Hospital among patients with history of low back pain of acute, sub acute or chronic origin. In this study, patients were divided into two groups, group A and group B equally. Group A of 100 patients received Lumbar Manipulation (High Velocity Low Amplitude) and at the same time Group B of 100 patients were treated by back stretching exercises. A pre tested and structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was entered and analyzed by using SPSS. Pain was measured on Visual Analogue Scale before and after the given treatment. The study showed significant results for both the interventions in the treatment of low back pain but Lumbar Manipulation has been more effective in different types of low back pain while stretching exercises are less effective. On the basis of this study, we are very confident that lumbar manipulation is more effective for the treatment of low back pain compared to back stretching
