Regional Interdependence[edit | edit source]

  • Regional interdependence is the concept that a musculoskeletal treatment targeting a specific area of the body could have effects in another, seemingly unrelated, part of the body[1].
  • There is a growing body of evidence to support the treatment of Low Back Pain through interventions aimed at the thoracic spine and the hip joints. 

Examination [edit | edit source]

Interventions[edit | edit source]

Interventions directed at the Thoracic Spine and the Hip Joints have been found to be beneficial for patients suffering from low back pain. 

Thoracic Spine[2] [edit | edit source]

Thoracic Manipulation[edit | edit source]

  • One case study reported improved outcomes in patients with chronic low back pain after utilizing the following intervention aimed at the thoracic spine. 
  • Supine Thoracic Posterior to Anterior Thrust Manipulation[2]

Hip Manipulation[edit | edit source]

  • One case series found that the use of hip manipulaiton was beneficial for their patients with low back pain. [7]

Clinical Implications[edit | edit source]

Utilizing manual therapy interventions targeted at the hip and thoracic spine along with therapeutic exercise has been shown to provide improved outcomes for patients with low back pain. Clinicians should consider these interventions along with treatments focused on the low back to treat the entire patient and achieve improved results.
