There are many things that can go wrong with the #spine but, in essence, up to 98% of all back pain is either caused by, or directly linked to, compression, the term used to describe the spine when it becomes squashed or shortened from its natural length. If we can decompress the spine (something which the…
What is Capsular Ligaments and Ligametum Flavum? They form thickenings of the joint capsule and very strong to spinal flexion. Fibers are shorter at the antero-lateral margins than posterior margin but they lie closer to the centre of rotation. If the vertebrae are pulled apart in a vertical direction, those two bundles fail separately, the shorter…
MRI diagnostic clinical validity (sophisticated, but still misleading, imaging) The common misconception and abuse in detecting (diagnosing) and guiding treatment is a foolproof test (i.e. falsehood claimed accuracy of 25%-40%). However reliance of such “tests” is clinically false, because imaging of passive/static abnormalities are incompatible to active/dynamic physical examination and history taking findings, unless correlated…
The human body is supported on FACET JOINTS / ZYGOAPOPHYSIAL JOINTS: the BACK RACK system works on FACET JOINTS. Articular surfaces are small just 1.6 cm, they stabilise the lumbar spine in compression to DE-COMPRESS and prevent excessive bending and gliding movements between adjacent vertebrae. Joint surfaces are permanently pre-stressed in the body / ligamentum flavum/,thus…
Below you can find the review of Dr. Sarah Brewer about the benefits of Backrack and Belt. “The vertebrae in your back interlock to form four gentle curves, whose sinuous S shape provide additional strength and stability. If these become compressed, the spine is ‘squashed’ or shortened and back pain results. The Backrack was developed…
Scoliosis or Spine Curvature Disorders This can be caused either by hereditary or developmental factors (metabolic, habitual postures, lack of exercise etc). There are over 80 types of scoliosis and some causes are unknown (ideopathic). Curvatures up to 40 degrees can be treated non-surgically but the condition should be arrested as soon as possible by…
Dr. Silvia Rossi – working at studiorehab.it – is using the Backrack to help her patients treat and cure back pain problems like sciatica, neck pain, lower back pain and many others. Below some photos of the exercises that the patients are doing.
Hands-On Alternatives Despite the fact that HBOT provides a competent treatment of spinal disorder, a more common method might appeal to therapists looking for a more hands-on alternative. Suggesting that the traditional tried and tested method generally works best, Luklinski said that mobilization is a procedure involving a small oscillatory movement of varying amplitudes combined…
Nerve Impingement Syndrome A trapped or compressed nerve can arise from sudden movement or any minor injury, and while the condition is troublesome causing pain, numbness or tingling in the arm, hand or finger etc, the condition is easily treated by mobilisation: gentle oscillatory movement applied at the correct spinal level by an experienced practitioner usually…

Therefore to try to combat these problems before they arise, let’s introduce…
Sciatica Condition This is a layman’s term used to describe a common back problem and as such it is not a clinical definition of any specific condition. Sciatica is related to the sciatic nerve which is the thickest and strongest nerve in the body. The nerve can sustain a hanging weight of 700kg (the weight…
We have extracted some key facts, from the following book www.amazon.com/Neck-Back-Pain-Scientific-Diagnosis/dp/078172760X It is an interesting read written by Alf Nachemson, MD, PhD, 1931–2006: an exceptional pioneer in spine care (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2200702/) Facts About Back & Neck Pain Back pain is rarely a symptom of serious disease. The total financial cost of back pain is about three…
DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE Causes & Condition The condition can be caused by prolonged and irregular pressure on the discs due to the patient’s poor posture and bio-mechanical deformities (such as a short leg). After the age of 60 when even normal discs lose up to 20% of their water content, they become prolapsed (thinner) and…
Diagnosis The diagnosis for bulging and herniated discs can frequently be faulty because MRI scans upon which doctors and surgeons rely can only show about 25% – 40% of the patient’s condition – and even then the results of such scans are not necessarily indicative of the real problem affecting the patient. Scans can assist…
