It is well known fact that,
patients having back pain move from doctor to
doctor, till they find someone in whom they can
develop confidence & faith. Over the last few
years, we have found that educating a
patient about his back & back pain is one of
the most effective ways of treating his back pain
along with standard aggressive conservative line
of treatment. Recurrences are thus best
avoided. Quality of life improves.
Keeping this in mind plus the
increasing need and to keep pace with newer
developments, we gave yet another
first, this time, not only to Hubli city,
but may be to the entire Karnataka State “Hubli School of
BackCare”, on Thursday, 15th
August, 2002- occasion of 23rd ANNIVERSARY. With
the blessings from The Lord and well wishers,
there was overwhelmed response and again we
noticed the need of “knee care” too, and aptly we
prepared ourselves and added “knee care” on the
occasion of SILVER JUBILEE celebrations. ( 15th
Aug 2004 )
“Back
School” is an Institute wherein total “
BACK CARE ” is available right from information to
treatment. Back School provides information about
back and its structure & functions, offers
consultation and evaluation of all kinds of back
problems, conducts regular workshops & teaches
participants how to go about their daily
activities while taking care of their backs.
Pre-employment screening, Industrial Back School,
Ergonomic analysis and consulting services are
offered by BACK SCHOOL. The attention is given not
only to the BACK, but the patient is rehabilitated
as a whole which is a must for the patients whose
activity level has been reduced due to prolonged
Back problems.
The first BACK SCHOOL concept
came into reality in Sweden at the “Volvo
Automobile Factory” in the late 1960s. There are
well over 1000 back schools in the United States
at present– one exists in most of the major
American cities. Back Schools may be affiliated
with a hospital, back pain clinic, private
practice or physician or non- profit group /
organization.
Back school concept is not
new in India, however it is not reflected much in
practice. Unfortunately the training curricula of
GPs, physicians, and other specialists do not
include sufficient deliberations on Back School.
There are very few Back schools in India. “Hubli School of Knee &
BackCare” laid first step towards care of
back & knee in this part of Karnataka and
offers comprehensive conservative BACK CARE of
International standards.
It is difficult to find any
person who has never experienced back pain.
Surprisingly 80% of back pain patients recover on
their own with or without medical intervention.
The remaining 20% need medical treatment for pain
relief & total recovery. It is not possible to
predict who is in 80% or 20% group. Unfortunately,
Back pain recurs in 70-90% and pain becomes
chronic in 40%. Hence, every one has to
learn about BACK CARE and prevent
recurrent episodes of back pain.
Acute or chronic Back Pain –
can be treated with different modalities like
medicines, traction, light therapy / SWD (short
wave diathermy), or even surgery and so on. All
these modalities help in reliving pain for that
particular episode only. One has to take care of
their Back to prevent further episodes of
pain.
There are many wrong and unscientific
concepts in the minds of people about Back, Back
Pain and its care. Various treatment modalities
available are not always scientifically correct
and rational. The patient has to run to his Doctor
or Consultant, since he does not know that
many a times, he himself can look after his Back
and that he need not suffer so much. The
patients often use their Back improperly and bring
back the pain, simply because they do not know the
proper and scientific way of using it. There is no
one to answer them to their satisfaction and
discuss their problems.
“Hubli
School of Knee & BackCare” is
the answer to all above questions.
