My name is Dr. April Dominick and I am here with the Ice Pelvic Division to talk to you about a current client case I have on cutting to the core, a case of the low back pain in the OR. So today I'll talk to you about a doctor with lumbar radiculopathy. radiculopathy that I've been treating, and the unique approach we took to core training that increased her tolerance to sustained positions in the OR and reduced her pain. a bit about my client. She is a cheerful female obstetrician in her early 30s who lives a very healthy, active lifestyle. She is strong. She loves to ski, hike, lift. She also lifts really heavy, which we love. And she came to me with a myriad of complaints of TMJ pain, headaches, cervical thoracic pain, and reports about 80 to 90% improvement with those issues. And then for the purposes of this podcast, we will just focus on her hip and low back pain. So she described it as aching, stabbing, and she, that was for the low back pain, as well as her right-sided hip pain. It was a six out of 10 at worst and three out of 10 at best. that intermittently worsens. And her pain originally started after she had to sit for a prolonged period of time in order to study for her boards for residency, something that we all are very familiar with. And she sought PT care with me about six months after when the pain had been steadily worsening. And then the final straw was she had 10 consecutive days of pain in her hip and back after a really long shift in the OR. So things that made it worse, exacerbating factors, prolonged sitting, prolonged standing, so any sort of prolonged positioning, sometimes heavy lifting days at the gym, especially leg day, and work days.
