Well Ive just finished a session in Bethnal Green. I was working with a 72 year old gentleman with a history of chronic low back pain. Due to his age and marked OA changes on xray of his LSpine he isn't a candidate for HVT hence I tired to treat his back pain with S-CS.
The patient appeared to accept that it was a appropriate choice of treatment for his low back. I found it hard to locate his tender-point as I had to place couch roll over his boxers shorts as they were stained in urine, but I managed to make sure that everything was kept out of the way.
Unfortunately I wont be seeing this patient again to follow up (as its the end of my placement) to see how effective S-CS was for his back pain.
