CHALLENGE AND RESPONSE TO BODY INTEGRITYPhysiology of low back painNociception is generated when the electrical impulse enter the dorsal root ganglion viadendrite fibre. The impulse is then accrued by the axon to the spinal cord. Nocireceptors areresponsible for transmitting impulse from site of injury as body’s physiologic response to thecentral nervous system. Sue feels the pain radiating in lower back as it travels from injuredtissues to thalamocoticol neurons (Anwar, 2016). Thus, neurons connect both spinal cord andbrain, through the process of transduction, conduction, and transmission. Upon nociception,spinal modeulation may have occurred in Sue as the electrical signals are relayed to the braincentres. Sue feels the pain in her lower back when the brain (CNS) interprets the signals andgenerates the supraspinal responses (Craft et al., 2015, pp.137-153). As per, the clinicalexamination, Sue’s L3 to L4 spinal segment, positioned in the middle of the lumbar spine, wasfound with tenderness and central protrusions. Injury may have occurred due to repeatedmovements of neck and shoulder muscles in fire rescue services and lifting heavy weights. Theremight be unwanted contact between nerve and the disc, causing herniated disc and sequentiallypain (Parker et al., 2015). The protrusions and tenderness in Sue’s lumbar spine may be due towear and tear of the disc, which is a degenerative cascade. The pain may also have caused bythe enlargement of the facet joints of the segment leading to stenosis. Fire rescue serviceinvolves strenuous activity causing compression of spinal nerve roots and sequentiallydegeneration (Tobert & Harris, 2018). Pharmacological actions and effects of NSAIDS NSAIDS are administered depending on degree of swelling, stiffness, tenderness orpain in the area of injury, which means in dose dependent manner.
