[Lumbago and physiotherapy].
Among treatments of locomotive affections, low back pain is the pathology for which the treatment has evolved the most in the last few years. Between 40 and 45% of the Belgian population declares having had a low back pain crisis during the last six months. Between 85 and 95% from those low back pains are ordinary low back pain without specific cause and without sign of seriousness. Literature demonstrated the importance of dynamic and active rehabilitation in the therapeutic management of low back pain to improve the physical condition of those patients. We will explain the therapeutic protocol conceived by the department of physical therapy from H.I.S., Etterbeek-Ixelles Hospital, which is also easy to apply at private consulting-rooms. This therapeutic procedure is developed around three facets: analytic physiotherapy, on an individual basis during the acute stage; gestural improvement of the patient (notions of ergonomics, lifting techniques) as soon as the intense pain has decreased; exercises and physical training, during 4 to 6 weeks, together with more ergonomics activities.
