Sammy McSamerson is a 35 year old woman who arrives to your clinic complaining of lower back pain. She openly admits her sitting posture is “poor” and she claims she “hurt” her back 2 years ago following some improper weight training exercises. Last month, while livin’ la vida loca at a local dance club, she slipped and fell and now reports that it’s the “worse it has ever been.” She is having difficulty walking or loading any weight on her spine without pain. She also mentions that her previous doctor suggested that she should bed rest as much as possible to allow her “back to heal” and that she should look into surgery as a potential solution seeing as her back pain is chronic. What are two possible diagnostic tests you might suggest to determine the cause of her lower back pain. How would they might they help her backpain? Would you agree with her doctor that she should “bed rest?” Why or why not? Seeing as she is having difficulty walking/loading her spine; what would you suggest or recommend to her in terms of exercise or physical activity? What are two options in terms of surgeries that would be applicable to her? What do they entail? When or why would one be recommended over the other? What, for the most part, is the only scenario in which you should recommend surgery (in terms of anatomy/physiology)?
