| Summary: | Low back pain is a symptom, not a disease, and has many causes. Low back pain (LBP) is defined as pain, muscle tension or stiffness localized below the costal margin and above the inferior gluteal folds, with or without referred leg pain. Poor postural control can result in postural compensation patterns that can lead to LBP. Also, this condition causes restriction on mobility, disability and impairment in quality of life. Being pain-free likelihood for 12 months after the onset of chronic low back pain is only 42%. Many countries have developed evidence-based guidelines to help practitioners manage this condition. Goals often include minimizing inappropriate interventions to decrease comorbidity associated with unnecessary treatments and control health care costs. The use of new and expensive technology to diagnose and treat back pain has not led to improved outcomes, but has caused greatly escalating costs and socioeconomic problem. Numerous treatments for LBP have been studied, and recently the use of kinesio taping has become a popular treatment option and can reduce maintenance costs for LBP conditions. Kinesiotaping is extremely thin functional elastic bandage, it can be extended up, and having similiar elasticity to the skin. Kinesiotaping has been reported to be able to increase blood and lymph circulation, improve muscle performance, reduce pain, realign joints, and reduce muscle tension. Recent studies on LBP have shown an improvement in pain disability, range of motion (ROM) of lower trunk and lumbar muscle activation in subjects who underwent treatment with kinesiotaping. Kinesiotaping reduces pain through the Gate Control Theory mechanism. This theory states that pain stimulation will be received by pain receptors (nociceptor) then the pain stimulation (impulse) will be delivered by fiber C and delta to the dorsal part of the spine before it will be passed to the thalamus (brain). In the literature review, it can be concluded that kinesiotaping inhibition techniques can reduce pain in postural LBP. |
