“…However, this was not the case for the prevalence of LBP in the previous 12 months (57.1% in France versus 22.0% to 73.1% for studies performed in other countries) [13,14]. The prevalence in the previous 12 months reported in the present study was lower than that described for other healthcare workers: 80% and 88.5% among nurses in studies by Jradi et al (2020) [38] and Bryndal et al (2022), respectively [39], 74% among operating room personnel [40], and 65% among obstetric care providers [41].…”

Background. Physiotherapists worldwide experience lower back pain (LBP). Up to 80% of physiotherapists report having experienced an episode of LBP at some point in their career, and LBP is the most common musculoskeletal disorder in this profession. In France, the prevalence of LBP among physiotherapists and associated work-related risk factors have not previously been studied. Objective. To determine whether the risk of work-related non-specific LBP among French physiotherapists depends on practice pattern. Method. A link to an online self-questionnaire was sent to French physiotherapists. The various practice patterns were compared with regard to the prevalence of LBP, the total number of days with LBP during the previous 12 months, and the degree of exposure to biomechanical, psychosocial and organisational risk factors. Results. Among the 604 physiotherapists included in the study, the prevalence of work-related, non-specific LBP in the previous 12 months was 40.4%. The prevalence was significantly greater among physiotherapists working in geriatrics (p = 0.033) and significantly lower in sports medicine (p = 0.010). Differences in exposure to risk factors were also found. Conclusions. The risk of non-specific LBP among French physiotherapists appears to depend on the mode of practice. All the various dimensions of risk must be taken into account. The present study could serve as a basis for more targeted research on the most exposed practices.

Severe acute lumbago, or lower back pain, is a common condition that can cause sudden pain and cramping that lasts for days to weeks. The UB-40 acupuncture point, also known as the Urinary Bladder 40, is a sensitive point that provides excellent relief from spinal pain. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of bleeding acupuncture point UB-40 in patients suffering from severe acute lumbago. Methods: An experimental pre-post study was conducted on 40 participants, recruited from the emergency department (ED) of Iffat Anwar Medical Complex Lahore from January 2021 to February 2023. All the patients were treated with bleeding at UB-40 acupuncture point technique. After the treatment, the patients were followed at baseline, 1-week and 1-month intervals. The primary outcomes of the study were to determine the improvement in acute low back pain by using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and physical impairment using Oswestry low back disability index (ODI) scale. Results: A total of 40 patients were enrolled in the current study. The mean age of patients was 38.7±12.2. Majority of the patients were females (52%). The mean pain score (VAS) at baseline was 8.00±0.751, which reduced at 4th week with a mean pain score of 2.92±1.28. Moreover, at baseline, patients had severe disability with a mean ODI score of 55.58, but after treatment it gradually decreased to (25.55). Conclusions: It was concluded that acupuncture, especially with bleeding at UB-40 point, may provide an immediate significant effect in reducing the acute pain of low back and disability.
