Continuing the Journey to Relief: Lumbar Pain with PEMF Therapy

Continuing the Journey to Relief: Lumbar Pain with PEMF Therapy

The lumbar fusion technique involves joining the vertebrae in the lower back, or lumbar region of the spine.. This surgical procedure is designed to address instability or degeneration in the lumbar spine, particularly in the posterolateral region. By fusing two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts and fixation devices, PLF aims to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain associated with conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal stenosis.

In continuation to our series of lumbar pain, where we elaborated the fact that PEMF therapy holds promise for treating lumbar pain and lower back pain, and it's still evolving. This cutting-edge course of treatment could end up being a real pain-relieving machine! Now, let's continue this journey to get relief from back pain by embracing best innovative and drug free solution which is PEMF therapy. And let’s understand how we pave the way towards a brighter, pain-free future by using Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy in Posterolateral Lumbar Fusions.

Understanding Posterolateral Lumbar Fusions

Before delving into the potential benefits of PEMF therapy, it's essential to grasp the concept of posterolateral lumbar fusions. The lumbar fusion technique involves joining the vertebrae in the lower back, or lumbar region of the spine.. This surgical procedure is designed to address instability or degeneration in the lumbar spine, particularly in the posterolateral region. By fusing two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts and fixation devices, PLF aims to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain associated with conditions such as degenerative disc disease ,spondylolisthesis, or spinal stenosis.

According to a trial conducted on 142 patients having Lumbar spinal fusion surgeries. Fusion status was assessed at 12 months follow-up where 88.0% (n = 125/142) of patients demonstrated successful fusion. Fusion success for patients with 1, 2+, or 3+ risk factors was 88.5%, 87.5%, and 82.3%, respectively. Significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes using the Short Form 36, EuroQol 5 Dimension (EQ-5D) survey, Oswestry Disability Index, and visual analog scale for back and leg pain were also observed compared with baseline scores (P < 0.001). A favorable safety profile was observed. PEMF treatment showed a positive benefit- risk profile throughout the 6-month required use period.

PEMF treatment is now used in most of US hospitals for fractures that fail to heal, along with stimulating bone growth for conditions like osteoporosis. Lumbar spine surgery demand in the U.S. will increase due to a rise in the aging population. With the variety of care options available and the rising expense of spinal surgery, it is more crucial than ever to maximize treatment. The results of this study demonstrate the value of non-invasive electrical stimulation of bone development in fostering successful fusions.
