Back Injury Risk Factors - Acute
Acute (traumatic) back injury
may occur due to:
slips, trips and falls;
auto accidents;
sedentary lifestyle (with
occasional lifting);
heavy and/or awkward loads;
improper lifting technique.
Back Injury Risk Factors -
Chronic
Chronic back injury may result
from poor posture and/or
improper lifting technique
combined with repetitive lifting.
Additionally, genetics and
overall physical fitness may
affect spine health.

CLINICAL
EVALUATION
2. PHYSICAL /NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION.
INSPEKSI, PALPASI
De yo dan Rainville : ( LBP + radicular pain ).
- Laseque (SLR) Test
- Strength of dorsoflexion ankles and
toes muscles
( L4-L5)
- Achilles reflexes ( S1).
- Sensory Test of medial (L4), dorsal (L5)
and
lateral (S1) foot.
- Contra lateral Laseque test : very
specific, but
not always positive.
- 90% HNP L4-L5 and L5-S1 can be
detected
3. Specific
EXAMINATION
A. NEUROPHYSIOLOGY
- ENMG and H reflex :
neuro/radiculopathy.
- SSEP.
B. RADIOLOGY
- Caudo/myelography
- CT caudo/myelography
- Discography
- MRI
MANAGEMENT (1)
A. CONSERVATIVE
B. OPERATIVE
MANAGEMENT
(2)
A. KONSERVATIVE
Most of HNP (90%) px improve in 4-6 weeks.
1. Bed rest : 2-4 days , muscle weakness
when too long bed rest, gradual
mobilisation
2. Medikamentosa.
- Analgesic : Aspirin, Acetaminophen,
Tramadol.
- NSAID : Ibuprofen, Natrium Diclofenac,
Etorolac etc
- Corticosteroid : severe case and
controversy.
- Muscle relaxant : esperisone, tizanidine
etc.
- Opioids : severe case
- Anti depressant : amitriptilin.
MANAGEMENT

-Steroid epidural INJECTION : Controversy
- Chymopapain Injection : succesfull rate

- Radiofrequency
3. Physical Therapy
- Pelvic Traction : controversy.
