Lumbar Supports Not Particularly Effective For Low Back Pain

Posted by Ang Therapist on Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 @ 7:38 pm in Lifestyle, Miscellaneous.

A recent review has concluded that lumbar or lower back supports are not very useful for preventing low back pain. Lead author Ingrid van Duijvenbode and her colleagues looked at 15 studies and found little or no difference between people who used supports and their peers who did not.

“There is moderate evidence that lumbar supports do not prevent low back pain or sick leave more effectively than no intervention or education on lifting techniques in preventing long-term low back pain,” van Duijvenbode said. “There is conflicting evidence on the effectiveness of lumbar supports as treatment compared to no intervention or other interventions.”

Remember when I said, "Would you believe I haven't updated my blog in a week?", well, I've totally outdone myself, I haven't updated in a month! Iknoerite?! Not that people are really waiting to hear from me or wanting to read what I write, but you know what I mean. Anyway, it's the 30th, you know what that means, PAY DAY! Right now though, I am waiting for the salary to be credited, there's been some sort of delay. Well, not really, it's actually on time. It's just that our salary has ALWAYS been credited a day (or two) before the actual pay day so getting it today is already late, oh if you could hear the rants of the people here at the office. I think I just heard Marlon shouting "ANO NA? ANO NA? ANO BA HR?! WALA NG PERA!!!", so I guess he needs it badly.  Me? Not really, I'm just using this as an excuse to stay late at work while I try to finish this entry and bore you to death. Also, I'm hooked, I'm trying to catch up on Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill. *giggles* (shut up) Oh you know what who else I'm totally obssessing on? Jason Castro of American Idol, I can't wait for tonight! Those eyes, his distinctive sound, and the hair! Its teh shmex. And I'm not the only one.

Aside from cute boys and girls on TV, there are other things that have been on my mind. Take baby names for example, (wait, what?) yeah, for some odd reason I'm thinking of baby names. Probably because two of my officemates are preggers and a friend just gave birth, all have not been able to sleep cus they're trying to come up with names for their kids. Hey, as long as its not, well, long and spelled the right/normal way, then its cool. Speaking of names, I've been thinking of registering and getting my own domain (name), but I'm not really sure, considering the little time I devote to updating this blog. I thought paid posts would help fill in for when my lazy ass brain decides to stop functioning, but no. It was too lazy even for blog ads. But I want a domain! I even included it in this list. From another list I made, I also included a laptop and a DSLR. Well, I hope to get those this year, within the next month. *crosses fingers* That's if I don't get fired. Yeah, I have an IR and got a memo for it, it does not end there, my case is actually under evaluation and depending on the gravity of my offense, I can either get suspended, or worse fired. What have I done? I had someone log me in so I wont be late, I arrived 3 minutes after my shift started. Apparently, under company policies that's falsification of time records, dishonesty, and inducing another employee to perform an act of dishonesty. YAY! My first memo, after a clean record of 2 years and 6 months. I couldn't sleep for two days, which made me realize that I actually care about my job despite it starting to feel boring. While I was restless, someone's actually been really helpful in terms of giving advise and moral support and I thank you. The said someone is actually making a come back, or atleast I think so. But none the less being there for me was a plus, I hope it was a sincere gesture though. Change topic. Where have I been? What aside from the province and back? Nowhere. I was not able to go to Anawangin Cove with Helga, Anne and Lauren. Sad. Oh but I have been to drinking fests with friends. The latest one was in Katips for the 88db.com blogger night. I came late but just in time to catch Ade's band, Lose your beer belly, play. I saw the TMB retards once more, oh Adam and Jen were there too! But I missed some of the i.ph bloggers, I only met Maki and Cai and Mica (again) Im still waiting for some pics but here's one taken from the Fotoloco booth.
