🏀 Lombalgia nel basket: quando la RMN mostra un “Black Disc”

Federico, a basketball player, was in the office today with worsening low back pain for months and radiating to the lower limb. ⚡ The MRI revealed a black disc: a sign of degeneration and dehydration of the intervertebral disc. 👉 Under normal conditions, the disc is rich in water and cushions loads. 👉 When it becomes "black" (hypointense on T2), it loses elasticity → mechanical stress increases → possible root compression (L4-L5 / L5-S1) with lumbosciatica. 🛠️ In-office treatment (multimodal approach) ✔️ Lumbar FCO Technique Reduction of muscle hypertonicity and improvement of fascial dynamics ✔️ Gluteal and piriformis percussor Indirect sciatic decompression and improved neurodynamics ✔️ HVLA manipulations Neurophysiological effect: pain modulation and recovery of segmental mobility 📊 After the session? Pain still present (expected clinical outcome): radiculopathy does not resolve in a single session. 👉 The program continues with: 💊 Pharmacological therapy (prescription required) 🧠 Neurodynamic exercises 🏋️‍♂️ Load management and core stability ⚠️ Key message The Black Disc doesn't stop you forever, but it requires intelligent load management and targeted treatment. If you have radiating lower back pain, don't wait: an early assessment makes all the difference 🔍🖖 ----------------------------------------------------------- Book your appointment at the office 👉🏻 https://www.fcotechnique.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------- Instagram:   / aurelialessio   TikTok:   / dr.alessio.aureli   ----------------------------------------------------------- 🧑🏻‍⚕️ Who is Dr. Alessio Aureli? A doctor of physiotherapy and kinesiology, he founded FCO Lab & Nutrition together with Dr. Mauro Loli. The practice was founded with the goal of helping and supporting our patients in their comprehensive rehabilitation process. The facility also offers nutritional and sports recovery programs. Dr. Alessio Aureli graduated from the IUSM (University of Rome) with a degree in Sports and Motor Sciences from the University of Rome "Foro Italico" and subsequently earned a degree in Physiotherapy from the San Carlo di Nancy branch in Tor Vergata. For years, he has conducted chiropractic training with top Italian and international instructors. His strength lies in combining manipulative techniques with the support of IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) equipment. Initially, he used Graston and Gavilan instruments, later replaced with instruments of his own design, made from an innovative material, Krion, thus creating the FCO technique. ------------------------------------------------------------- 🇬🇧 This channel demonstrates chiropractic and osteopathic physiotherapy manipulative techniques.
