Best Practice Case Studies-Lumbar Disc Pathology

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Brett DeGoyer, a specialist in primary care sports medicine and neuromusculoskeletal medicine, discusses treating low back pain caused by bulging or herniated discs. Practicing in Moses Lake, Washington, he uses manual and osteopathic manipulation techniques including inhibition of paraspinal muscles, myofascial release, and traction. These methods aim to decompress the affected spine area, allowing the body to resorb the disc or reduce nerve compression, thus improving patient comfort and functionality. For a demonstration of his osteopathic manipulative treatment approach, further reference is provided at the end of the case.
