PRT, At least once, a significant number of people experience severe back pain. Back pain is the most common cause of absenteeism from work, causing substantial economic losses. It is primarily attributed to physical stress in middle age and the weakening of the musculoskeletal system and decreased resistance to trauma with aging.
Recent studies have shown a prevalence of 20-10% among adolescents, with 10% developing chronic back pain. This leads to significant medical and economic problems, limited physical activity, dependence on others, hospitalization, and absenteeism from school, work, and family, as well as psychological problems. It is important to note that prevention is key in this disease and requires public education.
Back pain treatment PRT
Back pain treatment generally involves two approaches: conservative and surgical. The principle is to initially treat all patients conservatively unless initial evaluations show that they will not respond to this type of treatment. PRT (Peri Root Therapy) is a relatively new conservative treatment for back pain caused by external pressure on nerve roots, such as herniated discs.
Patient Selection
Patients who have suffered from back pain for a long time and have been diagnosed with a herniated disc are suitable candidates for PRT. Additionally, patients who continue to experience pain due to spinal stenosis or failed back surgery (FBSS) may also benefit from PRT.
