After he had battled lower back pain for three months with hot showers,
analgesic heat rubs and heating pads, it finally happened. Chris Roth
awoke one morning barely able to move.
.
This was a huge problem for Roth. As owner of Steel City Ballroom in a
Pittsburgh suburb, he teaches the trademark hip-shaking and body-twisting
steps of ballroom dancing. I canceled my lessons, said Roth, 44. Id had
back pain but not like that. This was the most extreme pain. Thats when I
couldnt push through it.
.
Fortunately for Roth, Anthony Delitto was a student. The chairman of the
University of Pittsburgh department of physical therapy in the School of
Health and Rehabilitation Sciences offered to help.
.
In his office, Delitto analyzed Roths posture and how he walked to figure
out the potential source of his pain. Then he had him lie down on his back
and cross his legs in a figure-four position. Then he pounced on him and
rocked him back and forth a few times. They heard a pop. The pain
vanished. The hip was realigned. Back to the ballroom.
.
Roths effort to continue dancing throughout the pain actually represents a
new approach to treating lower back pain. Dont shut down. Remain active.
Push through the pain so it doesnt become chronic.
.
To study that concept, Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute has
awarded the University of Pittsburgh $14 million over five years to lead a
national trial to test whether a more aggressive European treatment can
better prevent acute lower back pain from becoming a chronic condition in
which the level of pain magnifies and is more difficult and expensive to
treat.
.
Certain patients are more inclined to worry that when their back hurts
they are further harming it, causing them to become inactive, he said.
That can seriously impede recovery and cause further damage, leading to
chronic back pain.
