Unconventional
methods used in the treatment of certain types of back pain |

is a problem that occurs in more that 80% of the
population, and unfortunately there are clues that indicate that
percentage to be on the rise. The syndrome of pain, associated with the
location of the pain allow for a relatively fast establishment of the
diagnosis, and without too many lab investigations – in most
cases.
However, one can not say the same
about the treatment. There are numerous treatment patterns that have
been conceived for this crippling disease, but all of them share a
major disadvantage: the length of time elapsed until the patient is
fully recovered and can fully resume his activities. From this point of
view, the present paper suggests including among the therapeutic
methods the association of the usual treatment with LLLT (
Low
Level Laser Therapy) and of
reflex massage,
performed on the inferior limbs on the areas where the projection of
the spine is located.
The
study was conducted on 45 patients over 19 months. Following the
analysis and processing of the data we obtained, we can state that the
association between the two forms of treatment leas to a quicker
recovery of the patients, with a precocious decrease of the intensity
of the pain.
