Slide 2 : Contents Back Pain Snippets Back Anatomy Back Injury Risk Factors Risk Reduction When to Seek Help for Back Pain Stretching and Exercise Back Belts Information Resources
Slide 3 : Back Pain Snippets About 85% of Americans experience back trouble by age 50. Back problems are the most frequent cause of activity limitations in working-age adults. In the long run, surgery, chiropractic care, etc., are considered no more effective than no treatment in reducing low back pain.
Slide 4 : The Spinal Column The human spinal column is the center of postural control. It is built to provide stability and at the same time allow flexibility. These two seemingly incompatible functions of support (inflexibility) and movement (flexibility) are at opposite ends of a spectrum of movement, and this fact is one reason the spine is so vulnerable to injury.
Slide 5 : Located between the vertebrae in our backs are discs which act as the shock absorbers for the spine. Discs begin losing blood supply by age 20. We feed our disks by moving fluids into and out of them through mechanical compression and decompression (one reason to move about while at work). The Spine - Disk Nutrition

Slide 7 : The Spine - Detailed View
Slide 8 : Forces Acting on the Spine Compressive forces push bones and discs together. Tensile forces act (pull) on ligaments, tendons and muscles. Typically these forces occur simultaneously, for example, when lifting objects, or when “slouching.”
Slide 9 : 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.
Slide 10 : 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.
Slide 11 : Maintaining a neutral spinal posture is important when seated as well as during lifting tasks. If sitting without back support, rotate the hips forward until a neutral posture is achieved. If using the backrest, sit back in the chair to allow the backrest to help maintain a neutral posture and reduce muscle loading. “Flat” Neutral Back Injury Risk Factors - Chronic
Slide 12 : Risk Reduction - Engineering/Design You can design a safer lifting environment by: avoiding very high and very low object placement; reducing object weight and size; providing handles; eliminating the need for twisting motions; eliminating bending and stooped postures; and by providing mechanical assistance.
Slide 13 : Risk Reduction - Lifting Tips When lifting, you can substantially reduce your risk of low back injury and pain by: keeping the object close to you; bending your knees; maintaining your lumbar curve (bend knees and stick buttocks out); not twisting or bending sideways; avoiding rapid, jerky movements; and asking for assistance with heavy and/or bulky loads.
Slide 14 : Risk Reduction at Home Maintaining a neutral spinal posture when stooped (e.g., when shaving, brushing teeth, bathing children, repairing cars, shoveling, etc.) may reduce your risk of back injury and discomfort. Planning your lifts, getting assistance, and using mechanical advantage are examples of risk reduction strategies.
Slide 15 : Back Pain - When to Seek Help For common back strain, give home remedies a try for 72 hours. In rare cases, back pain can indicate a serious problem - seek medical attention if: you have weakness or numbness in either leg; you have a fever along with back pain; you notice new bladder or bowel control problems; your pain increases with lying down; or you have a history of significant chronic disease, such as osteoporosis, cancer or diabetes.
Slide 16 : Less than 5% of back pain is caused by serious diseases (e.g., cancer or infection) or by anatomical problems that require surgery. Surgery is almost always elective, possibly providing faster relief of symptoms but may have little effect on long term outcomes. Non-specific pain could originate with the muscles, ligaments, facet joints or discs and it is generally impossible to be certain of the exact cause. Medical Intervention Snippets From: Cherkin, Dan. Measuring Health Care Quality: Low Back Pain and Associated Treatment Outcomes. Center for Health Studies, Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound.
Slide 17 : In a small fraction of cases, the pain will move down the leg into the foot, usually as a result of a disc herniation; however, only about 2% of persons with back pain undergo surgery. Most herniated disc symptoms abate without surgery and have been found to be surprisingly common even in non-symptomatic adults. Medical Intervention Snippets From: Cherkin, Dan. Measuring Health Care Quality: Low Back Pain and Associated Treatment Outcomes. Center for Health Studies, Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound.
Slide 18 : Stretching and Exercise Stretching and exercise are often recommended for back pain, however, some of these activities may aggravate some conditions. Some discomfort is considered acceptable during the activity, but should not persist when the activity is discontinued. Speak to your physician or other health care practitioner for stretches and exercises suited to your specific condition.
Slide 19 : Back Belts The National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health has concluded that: there is insufficient data to support back belt endorsement; there is a potential for cardiovascular problems and; back belts are not considered personal protective equipment. To issue a back belt, ISU requires: job analysis medical recommendation fitting employee training
Slide 20 : Information Resources Mayo Clinic website http://www.mayohealth.org/ click on “search” and type “back pain” Orthopedic Patient Education Supersite http://www.sechrest.com/mmg/reflib.html Herman-Miller website http://www.hermanmiller.com/research/ click on “ergonomics” to look for information on seating and back pain NIOSH website http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html click on “topic index” then chose “ergonomics” or use the search function to search for “back pain”
