In 1992 I began as a teacher in local and national conferences. The one most important principle is this: Dr. Cyriax insisted on specific diagnoses before treatment, saying: "the treatment is easy; it is the diagnosis that is hard." I believe from his training and experience that most so-called mechanical low back pain problems have distinct identifiable causes. A variety of treatments may be needed, but cure or marked improvement is the obtainable objective with most patients. I am pleased to have authored a paper that successfully challenged the prevailing viewpoint that most low back is non-specific or undiagnosable. |
