Best Exercise to Reduce Low Back Pain: The Bridge (and variations)
http://devchengkalath.com
The Bridge and Variations described by Toronto Physiotherapist Dev Chengkalath:
An important component in low back pain rehabilitation is to stabilize the spine and pelvis while mobilizing the hips.
The basic bridge is an excellent exercise that accomplishes both the above goals.
Start by lying on your back, both knees bent and your hands by your sides.
From this position, brace your abdominal muscles without pushing your belly out or sucking it in. Basically, keep your stomach tight.
Contract your buttocks as you lift your hips off the ground and drive them towards the ceiling. Don’t let your pelvis shift side to side.
Focus on keeping your torso in the same position throughout the movement while hinging exclusively through your hips. Don’t sag or move through your back at all.
While squeezing through your glutes, try to keep your hamstrings or back of your thighs as relaxed as possible.
Remember to breath normally.
Complete your desired number of sets and repetitions.
Marching Bridge:
Start with the same set-up as the basic bridge.
At the top position, lift one leg up, keeping the knee bent and then return it back to the ground. Alternate between left and right legs while keeping the hips up, core tight and torso rigid.
One Leg Alternating Bridge
Same set-up as the previous two bridge variations, however, at the top position, alternate extending a leg out. Maintain your tight core, neutral spine and extended hip position while breathing normally.
One Leg Bridge:
This is the most challenging variation of the bridge discussed here.
Instead of starting with both knees bent, start with one leg extended out.
From this starting position, go through the bridging movement, keeping that leg extended.
Once you return to the starting position, alternate legs.
This variation is quite challenging and should only be attempted when you have mastered the other three variations.
Key points:
-only work in your pain free range
-keep your abdominals tight for the whole exercise
-all bridging movements should take place at the hips
-squeeze your glutes as your drive your pelvis up
-keep your hamstrings as relaxed as possible
-at the top of the basic bridge, alternate extending your knees
-at the top of the marching bridge, alternate lifting your bent knees
-at the top of the one leg alternating bridge, extend your leg at the knee
-start and end the one leg bridge with one knee bent and one leg straight
-breathe normally throughout the exercise

Micro Lumbar Discectomy (MLD) Spine Surgery In India – Low Cost
Micro Lumbar Discectomy (MLD) Spine Surgery
Since the initial description of a herniated intervertebral disc as the cause of sciatica (pain radiating down the back of the leg) in 1934, the operation to relieve this pain has undergone considerable refinement. Compression of a nerve root in the low back causes pain in the leg, back pain and sometimes dysfunction of the nerve. Usually pain begins in the low back, then radiates into the leg with tingling numbness and weakness in the leg. The cause is herniation or bulging of softened intervertebral disk material into the spinal canal compressing the overlying nerve root. In older individuals, an over-growth of bone (osteophytes) may compress the nerve. Diagnosis is dependent upon the history of pain, physical examination of the patient, and
Anatomical changes seen with CT/MR imaging of the spine :
- Pain the the back and extremity, usually the back of the leg
- Pain and limitation of raising the leg with the patient lying on his back
- Loss of sensation in the leg
- Weakness in specific muscle groups in the leg
- Loss of reflexes at the knee and ankle
- CT/MR images showing compression of a nerve root by disc material or osteophyte
Case History : Herniated lumbar disc with sciatica, pain and numbness
PS is a 30 year old housewife and mother who had experienced recurring episodes of low back pain for the past 10 years. This pain was progressively more severe for the past two years. A month before admission to the hospital she awoke with excruciating low back pain, and pain with numbness down the back of her right leg. She complained of weakness in the leg and the weakness progressed although the pain had improved.
Examination demonstrated pain when the right leg was passively elevated. There was weakness in the muscles which flexed up the foot at the ankle, numbness to pin prick over the top of the foot. The reflexes at the knee and ankle were normal.
A MRI image demonstrated a very large herniated disc fragment compressing the right L5 nerve root. A microlumbar discectomy was performed because of the failure of conservative treatment and the presence of severe pain and weakness. She left the hospital the same day and enjoyed immediate, near complete relief of sciatic pain.
The weakness is greatly improved, but the numbness persists. Comment: The L5 nerve root is usually the root compressed by a fragment of disc material which prolapses from the disc space between the 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae. The nerve root controls the muscles of elevation of the foot at the ankle, elevation of the big toe, sensation on the top of the foot…
