| Résumé : | Objective To evaluate the clinical results, number of treatments administered and the cost of care of a series of six consecutive patients presenting with acute lumbar radiculitis and a foot drop treated with iliopsoas myofascial treatments. Method A retrospective chart review of the results of iliopsoas myofascial treatments for acute lumbar radiculitis in six consecutive patients presenting with acute sciatic pain and ipsilateral foot drop. Results Five of six (83%) patients with acute lumbar radiculitis and foot drop responded without need for surgical decompression. In responders, heel walk returned in 2, 3, 10, 13 and 32 weeks after initiating treatment. The patients received an average of 6.7 trigger point dry needling treatments (range 3?14) and 9.5 physical therapy sessions (range 3?16). The average cost of the medical care, based upon the rate of $125 for trigger points and $75 for physical therapy, was $1691.66 (range $693.75?2712.50). Conclusions Iliopsoas myofascial treatments achieved an acceptable, risk-free, relatively inexpensive method of management in the non-surgical care of these six patients presenting with severe, acute lumbar radiculitis. |
