DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF A PATIENT WITH BACK PAIN1
SUBJECTIVE:
Mr. Henry reports that he is suffering from upper back pain and which is the primary
purpose of his appointment. Pain is a sensational signal that travels through nerve fibres into
the brain and accordingly, the body responses (Yam et al.,2018). The back pain also
accompanies with a headache. His condition of pain was 5/10 which is very uncomfortable
sometimes. The pain is severe and his daily actions are also affected by the signs. The pain
arises from the lower extremes and spreads upwards; it increases more when standing for a
more extended period or while sitting in a fixed period for hours. Heat pads relieve the pain
to some extent. No history of previous medication was reported along with any laceration.
OBJECTIVE:
LUMBAR REGION-
The degrees of rotational motions found in this area are-Flexion and Extension- 10
degrees and 16degrees, and for lateral bending the value is11degrees.
The flexion and the extension are abnormal compared to normal. The average values are 2-11
degrees for flexion and extension; for lateral bending, it is 2-7degrees.
CERVICAL REGION-
The degree of rotational motion found for flexion is 55 degrees for both right and left
lateral sides. The extension degree found is 60.
The values are average which reveals that the motion in the cervical region is under average.
